Ronald Purser

Join Ronald Purser, a Professor of Management and author of McMindfulness, as he critiques the commercialization of mindfulness with Helen Lewis from The Atlantic. They explore how mindfulness, once a spiritual practice, has transformed into a capitalist tool, often avoiding deeper societal change. From its surprising adoption in Silicon Valley and the military to its role in corporate wellness, Purser challenges the sincerity behind modern mindfulness. This insightful conversation questions whether mindfulness can genuinely promote social transformation or simply reinforces the status quo.
