5.0 out of 5 stars Thought Provoking and Eye Opening, 9 Nov 1998

By A Customer

This book presents a new look into mindsets, routine and habits. It shows how many individuals can become completely mindless. The book shows creative ways to change attitudes and behavior.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good introduction..., 9 Mar 2004

By	BooBoo (Bognor) - See all my reviews

This is a good introduction for a general reader into mindfulness. Her style and constant reference to her own published work is a little annoying. I would have like to have seen more evidence of work in other areas apart from work with the elderly. If she had moved away from her own work a little it may have helped. There is a lot of work being undertaken with depression and mindfulness which would have made interesting reading. The last couple of chapters do turn a little too 'pop' psycholgy for my taste but, overall a fairly good over view and worth picking up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stimulating And Easy Reading, 18 Jun 1999

By A Customer

I bought this book because I needed to read it for a class. I didn't expect to like it as much as I did! The first couple of pages made you really think and wonder about how mindless one really is. The book did wonderfully in keeping the psychological jargon out, and the examples helped me understand the concepts. I would definately say that this book is a must-read for everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thought provoking over many years
I read Dr Langers book many years ago, I found it thought provoking then and many times since. There are so many rich treads to follow from the book and the research studies. Read more
