À propos de cet audio
Learn how adjusting your thoughts can change your health—from the “mother of mindfulness” and first female tenured professor of psychology at Harvard.
“What matters more: mind or body? Filled with original research and thought-provoking insights, The Mindful Body shows that the two are not just connected but are actually one, opening us to vast potential for health and happiness.”—Dan Ariely, New York Times bestselling author of Predictably Irrational
Can changing your thoughts improve your health? We tend to live our lives as though our ailments—our stiff knees or frayed nerves or diminished eyesight—can change only in one direction: for the worse. Award-winning social psychologist Ellen J. Langer’s life’s work proves the fault in this negative outlook as well as the healing power of its alternative: mindfulness—the process of active noticing where we are not bound by past experience or conventional wisdom.
In The Mindful Body, Dr. Langer unpacks her assumption-busting findings and outlines her bold new theory of mind-body unity, along the way clearly demonstrating how our thoughts and perspectives have the potential to profoundly shape our well-being. Whether it is hotel chambermaids who lost weight when they simply came to see that their work constituted exercise, or patients whose wounds healed faster in rooms with accelerated clocks, she shows how influential our thoughts are to the state of our bodies. Her work has likewise proven that discouraging health news can have negative effects. Learning you are prediabetic, for example—even if your blood sugar reading is only a fraction away from “normal”—may actually play a part in the development of the disease.
A paradigm-shifting book by one of the great psychologists of the twenty-first century, The Mindful Body returns the control over our bodies back to us and reveals that a true understanding of health begins with our minds.

"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.”—Carol S. Dweck, Ph.D., author of Mindset
“Ellen Langer’s pioneering research put mindfulness on the map in psychology and overturned our assumptions about the mind-body connection. In this engaging book, she introduces provocative ideas about how rethinking our beliefs and attitudes can actually improve our health and happiness.”—Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of the TED podcast Re:Thinking
“A remarkable work of science and scholarship . . . Ellen Langer’s pioneering research shows that our thoughts and perceptions can rejuvenate our physical health, replenish our intellectual energy, and restore our broader sense of life’s possibilities. This book offers the ultimate key to unlocking your full potential.”—Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of When and The Power of Regret

Practical and interesting
Absolutely loved this. Somewhat amazed but also not surprised for science to backup some intuitive truths that the “woo-woo” community has been promoting all these years. The only critique of any, is that the stories are used to support different aspects throughout the book so it sounds a bit repetitive at times. I feel more positive after listening to this, a great energy.

disspointinh
I was very much looking forward to listening to this audiobook as I have seen this author interviewed and she interviews very well. I read a few of the reviews but I paid attention to the one that was negative and since I had numerous credits I thought I would overlook the negative review and listen to the audiobook. unfortunately the negative view was correct. it is 1/3 philosophy and 1/3 biography which I found very uninteresting and the author categorizes common sense items. save your money and your time and don't bother with this book. I believe in the concept and have a growth oriented mindset and I'm trying to be very objective in this review but I feel I would be doing a disservice if I did not provide this.

A book that is preachy, boring and repetitive
This book may share some facts, buy it's also very repetitive, focusing mostly on the placebo effect and on the fact that most people could "heal" their ills if only they didn't rely so heavily on prescribed supports for their issues (like using eye glasses and antidepressants). Is there some interesting stuff in here? Yes, but it's so wrapped around toxic positivity and academic writing, that I couldn't even finish the book. The word "moreover" was used soooo many times that I wanted to scream.
