"It is our lives and how we lead them that really needs to change if we are to improve our mental well-being...This is what the Buddhist version of mindfulness teaches – a moral and ethical world view - as opposed to this new corporatised McMindfulness – which in the long term will do as much as a McDonald’s Happy Meal to sate a person’s gnawing hunger for a richer life."
