In “Making a Mindful Nation,” Cook uses the lens of mindfulness to show how cultiva-ting a relationship with the mind is now central to the ways people envision mental health.
Drawing on long-term fieldwork with patients, therapists, members of Parliament and political advocates in Britain, Cook explores how the logics of preventive mental healthcare are incorporated into people’s relationships with themselves, therapeutic interventions, structures of governance and political campaigns.
