The revolutionary book that showed how mindfulness can be applied to
every aspect of our lives
The highly innovative findings of social psychologist Dr. Ellen J.
Langer and her team of researchers at Harvard introduced a unique
concept of mindfulness, adapted to contemporary life in the West.
Langer's theory has been applied to a wide number of fields, including
health, business, aging, social justice, and learning. There is now a
new psychological assessment based on her work (called the Langer
Mindfulness Scale). In her introduction to this 25th anniversary
edition, Dr. Langer (now known as "the Mother of Mindfulness") outlines
some of these exciting applications and suggests those still to come.
