Description
The Mindful Body: Thinking Our Way to Lasting Health Ellen Langer's groundbreaking work challenges the conventional view of health as a static or worsening condition. Instead, she shows how our thoughts and perspectives can shape our well-being for the better. Through her trailblazing research, Langer demonstrates the power of mindfulness in transforming our bodies and minds. Langer's experiments have revealed the influence of expectation and belief on physical function, healing, and aging. For example, she found that when participants were given the expectation that they could improve their eye test scores, they did so. Conversely, discouraging health news can lead to a worsening physical state. This book unpacks Langer's findings and explores the potential of mindfulness to improve our health and wellbeing.
