"In Therapeutic Applications of Langerian Mindfulness, Professor Sayyed Mohsen Fatemi provides clear and concrete examples of how Langerian mindfulness both liberates and heals. Basing his reflections on the inspiration of his mentor, Professor Ellen Langer, Fatemi shows in brilliant, methodical chapters the range of ways this mindfulness approach can transform lives. In the end, what both Langer and Fatemi stress is the power of attitude to make remarkable shifts in our capacity for mental and physical wellbeing. Whereas an attitude of mindfulness opens the world to virtually inexhaustible possibilities, an attitude of mindlessness--or what I call the polarized mind--shuts this process down entirely, and is one of the pivotal bases for the decay we see today, both in individuals and the societies that bear them." -- Kirk J. Schneider, PhD, author of The Polarized Mind, The Depolarizing of America, Awakening to Awe, and most recently Life-Enhancing Anxiety: Key to a Sane World "This book provides an in-depth practical analysis of cutting-edge research on Langerian mindfulness and offers promising techniques on healing, wellbeing, and growth." --Ellen J. Langer, Harvard University
