Review Quote "Stretches our minds in startling new directions." -- Howard Gardner "Ellen Langer has succeeded in writing a book that, in one bite, manages to be scientifically interesting, immensely practical, and dramatically absorbing. It is about the mindsets that lead human beings--even the smartest of them--to become stupid and mindless. Its power as drama in demonstrating that mindlessness leads not only to the banality of dullness, but to a giving up of life itself. In a series of fascinating research studies, Dr. Langer demonstrates that the young can be made more creative, the man in charge made more effective, and the elderly kept from giving in to and dying of their age." -- Jerome Bruner, author of Actual Minds, Possible Worlds "One simply cant finish this book and not see the world in the same way." -- Alan Dershowitz, Harvard Law School "A provocative, engaging essay on the relation between our mindstates and our actions, by an astute and irrepressible social scientist who obviously Promotional "Headline" A classic in social psychology about the concept of mindfulness Description for Sales People New Introduction that brings up to datethe authors extensive research in the effects of mindfulness in health, work, learning, and aging.The authors work has so dominated the field that her concept of mindfulness is now referred to as "Langerian mindfulness."The mindfulness described by the author is a Western theory,suitable to todays sophisticated society, not to be confused with Asian concepts and traditions, though with insights in common.
