I hesitated to respond to this. I'm not sure if you are being tongue-in-cheek, Linkadge.
I am a big fan of mindfulness. Of course I use it all the time as a tool in providing psychotherapy. I have practiced it myself for many years.
Not everyone is suited to mindfulness. And becoming mindful is a difficult path.
I try not to knock things I don't like that work for others. Not everyone is the same and different tools work for different people. Mindfulness may not be your cup of tea. It's most certainly not just fluff and subjective nonsense.
There have been many scientific studies on the benefits of meditation and other mindfulness practices. I'm just not in the mood to search for them online at the moment.
