The Mindful Body

'For decades, Ellen Langer's work has taught us the incredible power of the mind to affect our lives. In this fascinating new book, she highlights the startling role that our mind plays in fostering or undermining what is perhaps our most important asset-our health. You will be amazed. I highly recommend this book!' Carol Dweck, PhD, bestselling author of Mindset

'The Mindful Body presents a revolutionary and much-needed prescription for reimagining and then creating optimum health. A compelling combination of personal experience, research and hard science, this is a must read' Jill Bolte-Taylor, PhD, bestselling author of Whole Brain Living and My Stroke of Insight

'To call a book a "world-flipper" sounds like the worst sort of hyperbole, but the bare facts are that The Mindful Body does this and more. Reading it I loved seeing my worldview upended. But make no mistake, every semi-colon in these pages is backed up by brilliant and the hardest of hard experimental science-that has been Dr. Langer's trademark for decades. I do dearly hope we pay attention' Tom Peters, bestselling author of The Excellence Dividend
