Summary
In the years since it was first published, this influential book based on the highly innovative findings of social psychologist Dr. Ellen J. Langer and her team of researchers at Harvard made its mark for its unique concept of mindfulness, thoroughly adapted to contemporary life in the West. Langer’s theory has been applied to a wide number of fields, including health, business, aging, prejudice, and learning. There is now a new psychological assessment based on her work (called the Langer Mindfulness Scale) as well as an institute in Mexico founded to apply the concepts of mindfulness to health and wellness. In her introduction to this 25th anniversary edition, Dr. Langer outlines some of these exciting applications and suggests those still to come.

Great accounts of experiments performed to help realize the materials. A mid level read as far as depth goes. Not too shallow, not too repetitive or mind numbingly detailed.

A great reminder and path of being present in the process of life.

An academic (and not metaphysical/Buddhist) look at the benefits of mindfulness, citing psychological research on this topic.

A real lesson in mindfulness ... it really requires full attention, and opens all sorts of other conversation. Dense but I loved it!
