Mindfulness (25th anniversary edition)

This 25th anniversary edition presents Ellen J. Langer's research on mindfulness and its applications across everyday life. Langer, a social psychologist at Harvard, developed a concept of mindfulness adapted to contemporary Western life. Her work has been applied to fields including health, business, aging, social justice, and learning, and led to the creation of the Langer Mindfulness Scale, a psychological assessment tool. In her introduction to this edition, Langer outlines existing applications of her theory and discusses potential future ones. The book draws on findings from her research team at Harvard and explores how mindfulness principles can be integrated into various aspects of human experience.
