In the years because it was first published, this influential book based on the highly innovative findings of social psychologist Dr. Ellen J. Langer and her team of research workers at Harvard made its mark for its unique concept of mindfulness, completely adapted to modern life in the Western. Langer’s theory continues to be applied to a broad number of areas, including health, business, ageing, prejudice, and learning. There is currently a new psychological assessment based on her function (known as the Langer Mindfulness Level) aswell as an institute in Mexico founded to apply the principles of mindfulness to health and wellness. In her introduction to this 25th anniversary edition, Dr. Langer outlines a few of these thrilling applications and suggests those still to come.
