Wenn wir in der Lage wären, die psychische Uhr zurückzustellen, könnten wir das dann auch physisch? Seit über 30 Jahren beschäftigt sich Ellen Langer mit dieser provozierenden Frage. Sie kommt zu dem Schluss: Wenn wir uns dem öffnen, was tatsächlich möglich ist, statt Unmögliches als möglich anzusehen, so kann dies die Gesundheit verbessern – in jedem Alter. Ellen Langer nimmt die oft defätistische Art, wie wir unsere körperliche Gesundheit definieren, genau unter die Lupe. Sie stellt fest: Subtile Veränderungen unserer Denkweise, unserer Terminologie und unserer Erwartungen reichen aus, um eingefleischte Gewohnheiten abzulegen, die uns die Gesundheit und die Vitalität nehmen. Ein besseres Sehvermögen, ein jugendlicheres Aussehen, Gewichtsreduktion und eine höhere Lebenserwartung sind nur vier der möglichen Resultate, die Langer als erreichbar nachgewiesen hat.

Ein psychologisches Sachbuch, das mehr Licht in unser Leben bringt und mehr Leben in unseren Alltag.
In the years since it was first published, this influential book based on the highly innovative findings of social psychologist Dr. Ellen J. Langer and her team of researchers at Harvard made its mark for its unique concept of mindfulness, thoroughly adapted to contemporary life in the West. Langer's theory has been applied to a wide number of fields, including health, business, aging, prejudice, and learning. There is now a new psychological assessment based on her work (called the Langer Mindfulness Scale) as well as an institute in Mexico founded to apply the concepts of mindfulness to health and wellness. In her introduction to this 25th anniversary edition, Dr. Langer outlines some of these exciting applications and suggests those still to come.
