lots of great points and ideas but could have less fluff
The book focuses on Langer's studies on mindfulness. It is a good book but if you are looking for a book that will provide tips or techniques to be more mindful then this is not the book for you. What you will learn from her studies is how one should never rest on past experiences/old perceptions when you approach your life.

My daughter recommended this book about six months ago but it didn't grab me. Now I wonder what I was on. I've savored it over the past couple of weeks and I'm so happy I own a copy because I found underline-able wisdom in each chapter.
Langer's studies showed up in several recent reads including [b:Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End|20696006|Being Mortal Medicine and What Matters in the End|Atul Gawande|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1408324949s/20696006.jpg|40015533], so I found myself smiling with recognition on occasion. With curiosity and insight Langer presents study after study revealing our unintened mindlessness and its farreaching and often dilitorious effects and the simple ways to move toward mindfulness and its notable benefits.
As I study and write about the ways healthy people move through change, intention is my by-word. Mindfulness, as defined by Langer, seems a perfect alternate word choice for intention. I'm sure I'll refer to this work again and again.
Here's the first article I wrote referencing Langer's wisdom.

This book changed the way I think about feelings and how I interact with other people. Simply superb.
Such a shame I read this rather mindlessly - but I think I got the idea.
This is a classic because it's excellent. A guide to and evolution of many facets of mindfulness. Full of ways to discover and improve
I picked this up to read for a research paper I am writing for class. I was hoping for more information on the topic of mindfulness as a whole.
La un moment dat, intr-un azil din Connecticut, ocupantilor aflati la varsta senectutii li s-a incredintat o planta de care sa aiba grija si au fost rugati sa ia o serie de mici decizii cu privire la obiceiurile lor zilnice. Dupd un an si jumatate, nu numai ca acesti oameni erau mai veseli, mai activi si mai dinamici decat grupul similar din aceeasi institutie carora nu le fusesera oferite aceste alegeri si responsabilitati, dar multi dintre ei erau inca in viata. De fapt, mai putin de jumatate dintre cei care aveau de luat decizii si de ingrijit plante murisera, fata de cei din al doilea grup. Acest experiment, cu rezultatele lui socante, a fost punctul de pornire al unei cercetari de peste zece ani despre efectele puternice a ceea ce colegii mei si cu mine am denumit mindfulness si opusul lui, la fel de puternicul, dar distructivul mindlessness.
Not what I was expecting, which was the type of mindfulness I learned about from my therapist in MBCT.
