"Late capitalist networked culture is obsessed with improving performance. TED speakers are cult idols, sharing their commandments for success and productivity. On social networks our friends become brands, and brands become our friends. Self-help books are interchangeable with business philosophies. In the conference room - and the weekend supplements - we learn how to shape ourselves, how to be consistent, how to operate. Reduce entropy. Maximise consistency. Become an industry of one.

Apparently "mindfulness" is the next big thing in corporate America.
Unhappy with your poor working conditions and high job stress? Your fault, not mindful enough. You gotta meditate those troubles away.
