Mindfulness: Das Prinzip Achtsamkeit

We, who write popular books on psychology, are aware that we stand on the shoulders of giants, and Ellen Langer is one of those giants. Malcolm Gladwell, author of the book "Blink! The Power of Thinking Without Thinking," states: "No one in the history of psychology has shown us better than Ellen Langer the power that mindfulness can have for our health and happiness." Philip Zimbardo from Stanford University, author of the textbook "Psychology," confirms this as well.

Mindfulness – the attentive handling of thoughts and feelings in interaction with the environment – enables us to identify internal and external constraints. Ellen Langer vividly decodes the principle of mindfulness and demonstrates in a lively and relatable way how people can live more intelligently, creatively, and resourcefully. She impressively exposes the apparent constraints of conformity and aging.
