Jon Kabat-Zinn: Mindfulness – The new Formula for Happiness? | Sternstunde Philosophie | SRF Kultur

Oprah Winfrey, Angelina Jolie and Arianna Huffington swear by mindfulness – and they're not the only ones: Buddhist mindfulness has become a trendy doctrine of salvation and for some a formula for happiness. The US American molecular biologist Jon Kabat-Zinn is considered the founder of the movement. He is Barbara Bleisch's guest.

Jon Kabat-Zinn is the superstar of the mindfulness movement. His stress reduction programme is taught in courses all over the world. The world's leading companies offer mindfulness meditation to their employees. And at World Economic Forum in Davos, Kabat-Zinn advised the powerful people of the world to live in the here and now.

But originally he developed his teachings on mindfulness for the chronically ill, in order for them to reduce their fears and manage their pain better through exercises. Today, the demand for mindfulness mostly comes from stressed, restless people, who lose sight of the present moment because of all their hurrying around. Critics warn that the mindfulness movement is becoming an accomplice to a world tailored to efficiency: instead of criticising the system, people are being taught to manage stress with serenity.

Barbara Bleisch asks Kabat-Zinn: How much serenity is healthy? And is meditation just a means to an end?
