Is Mindfulness Pseudoscience?


Is Mindfulness Pseudoscience?


I have recently completed an 8 week programme of mindfulness for entrepreneurs. I found it enlightening and personally valuable. But I am interested in the science behind mindfulness.

Does mindfulness work for me like a placebo, or maybe it just gives me a period of calm and reflection. Or does it (as some suggest) have scientific basis and result in changes to the brain?

Below are a few links that I have found.
