Mindfulness is hot and happening. Large companies like Google screen it, ministries set up quiet rooms, courses are running rampant. Is this only to be welcomed or is this also a cause for concern? Both, think Joost van den Heuvel Rijnders and Eveline Brandt.

Because does that employer really want his employees to live a more attentive and calmer life, or is that in-company mindfulness training secretly about increasing productivity?
