Description
Counterclockwise: A Proven Way to Think Yourself Younger and Healthier For over thirty years, psychologist Ellen Langer has studied the relationship between our minds and our bodies. Her groundbreaking work suggests that by changing the way we think, we can improve our health and wellbeing. In this book, Langer presents a new paradigm for understanding the psychology of possibility, showing how our thoughts and expectations can either support or undermine our health. By becoming more aware of the ways in which we react to social and cultural cues, we can begin to make subtle shifts in our thinking, language, and expectations. This, in turn, can lead to positive changes in our behaviour, resulting in improved health, optimism, and vitality. Langer's work offers a hopeful and transformative approach to understanding the human experience. This book is a fascinating exploration of the psychology of possibility, and is likely to appeal to anyone interested in personal development and wellbeing.
