Mindfulness is celebrated everywhere—especially in health
psychology and spiritual practices, but also in the arts, business,
education, environmentalism, sports, and the use of digital
devices. While the current mindfulness movement may be in part the
latest fad in a narcissistic and therapeutic culture, it is also
worthy of greater philosophical attention. As a study in ethics and
moral psychology, Mindfulness in Good Lives remedies the neglect of
this subject within philosophy. Mike W. Martin makes sense of the
striking variety of concepts of mindfulness by connecting them to
the core idea of value-based mindfulness: paying attention to what
matters, in light of relevant values. When the values are sound,
mindfulness is a virtue that helps implement the kaleidoscope of
values in good lives. Health psychologists, who currently dominate
the study of mindfulness, often present their research as
value-neutral science. Yet they invariably presuppose moral values
that should be made transparent. These values, which lie at the
interface of morality and mental health, form bridges between
philosophy and psychology, and between literature and spirituality.
