The article is pretty good about sticking to facts, but some sweeping statements such as about his contribution to health care are credulous and uncited. Article should include controversies about his beliefs or link to them. Personally, I know a physician who explained how Zinn had portrayed research as supporting mindfulness by misrepresenting the results (it was not the primary condition, there were other interventions that probably explained the results). But that's just gossip. My concern is that, while meditation has its virtues, it is over-hyped as a medical treatment. I am not a knee-jerk skeptic, by the way, I meditate and have training in Vipassana and Zen. [[User:Bobsterz|Robert A.
