Me personally, I think that you are going to be mindful because you want to be mindful. You aren't going to pay extra attention to something because you practice mindfulness. I think there is a lot to be said for determination, observation, being compassionate and having awareness/empathy of people and surroundings.
If you don't care about the little things, you won't be mindful. IMO.
What I want is the book price for all the crazy people I know who will buy it for a talisman. Haha
I think many people are affected by the external environment too. Mindful rooms hold the thought. Hare brain rooms chip at the best of us. Sometimes when a person needs to be it sticks pretty good but subject to time and tide.
I vote gong fu. Mindfulness is acquired by aversion therapy, whereas if you are nutty for a yogi, someone may be disappointed....
