UX design is a craft that isn't always well implemented. Some products don't respect their users' mental health, or their users' privacy. They aren't robust enough to prevent stalking. They require a heavy cognitive load, or they're visually cluttered. They fight for users' attention instead of nurturing it. Mindful UX recenters UX so that it serves users and respects their mental state.
