"Ellen Langer offers us brilliant insights into subtleties that hold us back in life, and shows the way to shining new possibilities. <b>Counterclockwise</b> will change the way you see and think." -- Daniel Goleman, Ph.D., author <b>Emotional Intelligence</b> and <b>Ecological Intelligence </b> <p/>"<b>Counterclockwise </b>makes a strong case for the influence of expectation and belief on how our bodies function, on how we heal, and even how we age. Ellen Langer presents fascinating scientific data to support this view and argues convincingly that we should learn to take greater control of our health through the practice of mindfulness. Her research is innovative and empowering."--Andrew Weil, M.D. <p/>"Ellen Langer's work has been an inspiration to me for years. <b>Counterclockwise</b><i>, </i>her latest book, will change the way you think about your health -- for the better. It's simply fabulous." --Christiane Northrup, MD, author <b>The Secret Pleasures of Menopause</b> and <b>The Wisdom of Menopause</b> <p/>"Awareness-mindfulness-is the first step in healing. In Counterclockwise, Dr. Ellen Langer eloquently describes how becoming more aware of our beliefs and expectations allows us to powerfully transform our lives for the better. A pioneering, beautifully-written book." --Dean Ornish, M.D. <p/>"Take a smart, creative social scientist, without any respect for conventional wisdom and you get Ellen Langer. She is a fantastic storyteller, and <b>Counterclockwise </b>is a fascinating story about the unexpected ways in which our minds and bodies are connected. More importantly, <b>Counterclockwise</b> shows how a better understanding of this relationship can lead to a better life."--Dan Ariely, Ph.D., author of <i>Predictably Irrational: The Hidden Forces that Shape Our Decisions</i> <p/>"<b>Counterclockwise </b>presents a new way to think about lifelong health and aging. Read this most important book to improve your quality of life at any age." --Deepak Chopra <p/>"<b>Counterclockwise </b>is a gem-a book that is equally practical and philosophical without seeming to be either, and one that makes you feel better--more conscious and more prepared-about growing old, even if you weren't feeling bad about it in the first place. There is no one thinking more creatively about sickness and health than Ellen Langer, and she shares what she knows here with uncommon felicity." <br>-- Sue Halpern, author of <i>Can't Remember What I Forgot: The Good News from the Front Lines of Memory Research</i> <p/>"Dr. Langer's work provides fascinating insight into the body-mind connection. She shows how changing our minds changes our bodies to optimize our health and performance as we get older." --Jill Bolte Taylor, author, <i> My Stroke of Insight</i>
