Achtsamkeit zwischen Hype und Tiefgang: Zwei neue Bücher hinterfragen den Mindfulness-Trend
By
Daniel Hackbarth
Summary
This German-language article critically examines the mindfulness (Achtsamkeit) hype, questioning whether it's neoliberal "quark" (nonsense). It reviews two new books on the topic that suggest mindfulness is more than just a commercialized trend. The article explores how mindfulness has been co-opted by consumer culture (mindful makeup routines, mindful chips eating, mindful juices) while also acknowledging its deeper potential beyond superficial self-optimization.
