An interesting article from the Guardian about the use of mindfulness in a number of universities in the UK, including Cambridge and Buckingham, which aims to be the first British ‘health-positive’ university. There is also an interesting critique at the end of the article, from Frank Furedi at Kent University who suggests that mindfulness is now so commodified and ritualized that it is infantilizing.
