Reviews

"Ellen Langer offers us brilliant insights into subtleties that hold us back in life, and shows the way to shining new possibilities.Counterclockwisewill change the way you see and think." - Daniel Goleman, Ph.D., authorEmotional IntelligenceandEcological Intelligence "Counterclockwisemakes 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. "Ellen Langer's work has been an inspiration to me for years.Counterclockwise,her latest book, will change the way you think about your health - for the better. It's simply fabulous." - Christiane Northrup, MD, authorThe Secret Pleasures of MenopauseandThe Wisdom of Menopause "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. "Take a smart, creative social scientist, without any respect for conventional wisdom and you get Ellen Langer. She is a fantastic storyteller, andCounterclockwiseis a fascinating story about the unexpected ways in which our minds and bodies are connected.

Read this most important book to improve your quality of life at any age." - Deepak Chopra "Counterclockwiseis a gema book that is equally practical and philosophical without seeming to be either, and one that makes you feel better--more conscious and more preparedabout 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." - Sue Halpern, author ofCan't Remember What I Forgot: The Good News from the Front Lines of Memory Research From the Hardcover edition., "Ellen Langer offers us brilliant insights into subtleties that hold us back in life, and shows the way to shining new possibilities.

Synopsis

If we could turn back the clock psychologically, could we also turn it back physically? For more than thirty years, award-winning social psychologist Ellen Langer has studied this provocative question, and now, in Counterclockwise, she presents the answer: Opening our minds to what's possible, instead of presuming impossibility, can lead to better healthat any age. Drawing on landmark work in the field and her own body of colorful and highly original experimentsincluding the first detailed discussion of her "counterclockwise" study, in which elderly men lived for a week as though it was 1959 and showed dramatic improvements in their hearing, memory, dexterity, appetite, and general well-beingLanger shows that the magic of rejuvenation and ongoing good health lies in being aware of the ways we mindlessly react to social and cultural cues. Examining the hidden decisions and vocabulary that shape the medical world ("chronic" versus "acute," "cure" versus "remission"), the powerful physical effects of placebos, and the intricate but often defeatist ways we define our physical health, Langer challenges the idea that the limits we assume and impose on ourselves are real. With only subtle shifts in our thinking, in our language, and in our expectations, she tells us, we can begin to change the ingrained behaviors that sap health, optimism, and vitality from our lives. Improved vision, younger appearance, weight loss, and increased longevity are just four of the results that Langer has demonstrated. Immensely readable and riveting, Counterclockwise offers a transformative and bold new paradigm: the psychology of possibility. A hopeful and groundbreaking book by an author who has changed how people all over the world think and feel, Counterclockwise is sure to join Mindfulness as a standard source on new-century science and healing., If we could turn back the clock psychologically, could we also turn it back physically?
