Mindfulness by Ellen Langer

May 26, 2017

Here's my pick for this week. I loved the clarity and power of Ellen Langer's classic, scientifically-supported work on mindfulness. And I saw many connections between being mindful and improvisation. It gently shines a light on unwitting habits of categorical thinking, and the tone is curious, open, light. I found this book to hold many beautiful and useful implications for many dimensions of my life and relationships.
