The Corporate Mindfulness Scam (w/Prof. Ron Purser)

The ZDoggMD Show

Does management teach "mindfulness" to create compliance with a broken system that continues to inflict moral injury on frontline workers?

Ron Purser is a professor of management at San Francisco State University and a student of Buddhism since 1981. He's an ordained Zen priest and a faculty member at Dharma College (check out their Illuminate TSK app with exercises).

Learn more about Ron on his website, check out his book McMindfulness: How Mindfulness Became the New Capitalist Spirituality, his podcast The Mindful Cranks and his Current Affairs article How the Life Coaching Industry Sells Pseudo-Solutions to Our Deepest Problems. And here's the book we mentioned Time, Space and Knowledge: A New Vision of Reality by Tarthang Tulku.
