Die Achtsamkeitsfalle
Diana Kinnert / German / 2025 / 240 Pages
Breathe in, breathe out, find peace. The practice of mindfulness promises relaxation and self-care. But what if this concept is infiltrated by ideology? What if it’s no longer about inner peace and serenity, but about self-optimization and efficiency? What appears to be self-love increasingly turns out to be a perfidious strategy of capitalism. Diana Kinnert therefore calls for an end to patience—and a commitment to acknowledging exhaustion as the first step toward making exploitation visible and resisting it together.
