Mindfulness: What is it? BBC News

You’re encouraged to focus on living in the moment and its supporters believe it can help deal with stress, mental illness and chronic pain – amongst others. But, how does it work? Benjamin Zand has been giving it a go.

America’s national debt recently hit a new milestone of $40 trillion. It is estimated that interest payments on the national debt are now the second largest expense in the US government budget, trailing only Social Security. How was the US able to borrow so much and for so long? One answer, according Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff, is the US dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency.
In this episode, Rogoff – former Chief Economist at the International Monetary Fund – explains how the US dollar came to enjoy this hegemonic status, what being the world’s reserve currency actually means in practice, and why he believes the dollar is now in decline.

If we want to have a more mindful life, we will need to become more aware of what we expose ourselves to. And we need to be aware of how I am being affected by what I expose myself to. This is especially crucial in these unusual times.

Is there a slightly less insulting synonym of 'useless pretentious wank' to describe mindfulness? I think about stuff; I can only relax when all my tasks have been completed. Taking 10 minutes away doesn't get stuff done. We do this at school.

Training attention is good. Though I think this should be combined with relaxation for better effect.
I'm reluctant to get involved with this stuff because of the sew-age nonsense that comes with it. Even "secular" mindfulness seems quite religious.
If you think that the only reason people suffer is because of "bad" thoughts, then you are an idiot and a bane on society.

Wait so can someone describe mindfulness to someone who has literally no common sense or perception? Is it basically just "Thinking about stuff" or "being in the present"? Because thinking about things and being in the moment are two different things.

I recently discovered a few new things about mindfulness, which I put forward in my book The Relaxation Principle. I'm fascinated with this issue of how mindfulness is used. We can forget that mindfulness is always for the purpose of something. It seems to me that mindfulness is best employed for reducing unnecessary effort – what I call the relaxation principle. In this light it could be true that some people will use it wrongly and just waste time, or worse – use it to manipulate their experience rather than making real changes in their life. This is also like using it too forcefully. The website for my book is here –

Erm, at 2:30. He is fairly softly spoken so I may have misheard but did he claim that it is at least as effective as drugs at treating cancer? Dealing with stress and the like I can well imagine, but meditation for dealing with cancer? I'd like to see some citations for those studies, preferably followed by lots of good quality follow up studies if they are going to make that sort of claim!
Sounds dangerously close to woo when he went there.
