Summary:
23 mai 1871. Tandis que les derniers communards sont repoussés vers l'est de Paris par les troupes versaillaises, le palais des Tuileries est livré aux flammes. Douze ans plus tard, ses ruines sont totalement démolies. Qui se souvient encore de cet édifice exceptionnel où se joua le destin de la France ? Construit à partir de 1564 à l'initiative de Catherine de Médicis, le château des Tuileries constitua d'abord un authentique chef-d'oeuvre architectural, dont le destin fut étroitement lié à celui du palais du Louvre, auquel il finit par être entièrement relié sous le Second Empire. Son magnifique jardin à la française - conçu par André Le Nôtre en 1665 - reste à ce jour la promenade la plus célèbre de la capitale. Résidence officielle de tous les souverains à partir de 1789 et centre du pouvoir, le château devint le théâtre de nombreux événements historiques, de la chute de la monarchie en 1792 à celle de l'Empire en 1870 en passant par la fuite de Louis XVI à Varennes, le divorce de Napoléon 1er et Joséphine, la mort de Louis XVIII, l'abdication de Charles X, la chute de Louis-Philippe et le mariage de Napoléon III.

Summary:
Mindfulness is now all the rage. From celebrity endorsements to monks, neuroscientists and meditation coaches rubbing shoulders with CEOs at the World Economic Forum in Davos, it is clear that mindfulness has gone mainstream. Some have even called it a revolution. But what if, instead of changing the world, mindfulness has become a banal form of capitalist spirituality that mindlessly avoids social and political transformation, reinforcing the neoliberal status quo? In ''McMindfulness,'' Ronald Purser debunks the so-called 'mindfulness revolution,' exposing how corporations, schools, governments and the military have co-opted it as technique for social control and self-pacification. Purser busts the myths its salesmen rely on, challenging the narrative that stress is self-imposed and mindfulness is the cure-all.
