Buy this book Ellen Langer is a distinguished professor and researcher in the Department of Psychology at Harvard University. Her book is a classic, a must-read for anyone interested in mind power or mental fitness. The author's 10 years of research into mindfulness began with a study of elders in a U.S. nursing home. Those who were given a choice of houseplants to care for were more cheerful, active and alert 18 months later than were those in the control group. Langer translates her research into clear, everyday language that conveys valuable insights into how we can become more mindful in our personal and professional lives, and how we can encourage this trait in others.
