Publisher Description
Cartea revoluţionară care a arătat c*m poate fi aplicat mindfulness-ul în fiecare moment al vieţii noastre Descoperirile inovatoare ale psihologului social dr. Ellen J. Langer şi ale echipei sale de cercetători de la Harvard au introdus un nou concept de mindfulness, adaptat vieţii de azi din Occident. Teoria lui Langer a fost aplicată unui mare număr de subiecte, incluzând aici sănătatea, afacerile, îmbătrânirea, justiţia socială şi învăţarea. Activitatea sa stă la baza unui nou tip de evaluare psihologică (numită Scala Langer de Mindfulness). În noua introducere la această ediţie, dr. Langer (cunoscută acum drept „mama mindfulness-ului“) subliniază unele dintre aceste utilizări şi ne sugerează altele noi. „O lucrare fundamentală de psihologie socială.“ Booklist „Langer ne-a arătat care este forţa mindfulness-ului.“ Psychology Today „Mindfulness este cartea care a schimbat totul.“ Female First „Mai relevant acum decât oricând altcândva.“ Blogging on Business

The mindless following of routine and other automatic behaviors lead to much error, pain and a predetermined course of life, contends Langer, Harvard professor of psychology, in this thought-provoking study in which she ``translates'' for lay readers the findings of her research, much of it among the elderly. With anecdotes and metaphors, she explains how the mindless--as opposed to the mindful--develop mindsets of categories, associations, habits of thought born of repetition in childhood and throughout schooling. To be mindful, she notes, stressing process over outcome, allows free rein to intuition and creativity, and opens us to new information and perspectives. Langer discusses the negative impact of mindsets on business and social relations, showing special concern for the elderly, who often suffer from learned helplessness and lack of options. Encouraging the application of mindfulness to health, the author affirms that placebos and alternative, mind-based therapies can help patients and addicts move from unhealthy to healthy contexts. First serial to Health magazine; QPBC, Library of Science, Behavioral Science, Natural Science and Psychotherapy and Social Science Book Clubs selections.
