Well, I can't tell anything about JK. But I get this impression reading his essay about the Eightfold Noble Path (ENP):

I started it, I dropped it. Something was not resonating with me.

After a while, an essay of this same subject -ENP- by Bhikkhu Bodhi has resonated deeply for the understanding I am getting from the teachings of Buddha.

From the above posts, seems that JK is the kind of "new age" teacher that has taken Buddha mindfulness aspect away from the ethical/meditation/wisdom frame. And those are the results.

But as any impression, I may be wrong.
