The New Yorker: Headspace is enlightenment on your iPhone. Interesting article on the rise of meditation and mindfulness.

There’s also a cursory nod to corporations being excited about treating the symptoms of stress — rather than root causes such as corporate dysfunction and job insecurity. “It’s saying, ‘It’s your problem, get with the program, fix your stress, and get back to work!’”
