The whole McMindfulness thing puts the burden of tolerating the psychological impact of a workplace on the individual employee, but this is taking it to a whole new level.

I admit I am usually very wary about books like this due to how much McMindfulness junk is flying around out there with regards to "self love."
But this actually discusses social activism and how radical compassion can be used for social revolution and meaningful change.

if i were to play armchair psychologist, i would suspect that this is the pinnacle of "dark enlightenment" mcmindfulness: trying to twist liberatory practices with individualism; a negative ego death combined with mania, paranoia, and greed.

Det är väl lite som McMindfulness, bättre att anställda tar nån paus och gör andningsövningar än att dom börjar begära bättre vilkor. Individen ska anpassa sig, inte systemet.

One-thousand-year-old Zen aphorisms are not easily appropriated for productivity hack mcmindfulness. Zen Master Yuanwu's "Pride":

I really can't stand 'optimisation culture', this whole idea of working on yourself for the sole goals of wealth and status. This appropriates things like Stoicism or Buddhist meditation (McMindfulness) and completely ignores how the ultimate aim of such philosophies and practices was to live well.

Started Ronald Purser's "McMindfulness", and he does not pull any punches.
I have thoughts about the parallels between what he's describing, the Prosperity Gospel, and Max Weber.
But they are inchoate; so, maybe later.
