Synopses & Reviews
This Original and Important New Book, in the words of psychologist Jerome Bruner, "could radically change our concept of learning". In business, sports, laboratories, and at home, our learning is hobbled according to Dr. Langer, by seven pernicious myths, such as the necessity of delaying gratification or of "getting the basics down pat". Replacing these with her concept of mindful or conditional learning, she shows more effective approaches to such skills as CPR, investment analysis, or playing the piano.
A source of great inspiration to me. With elegant simplicity she can completely change your life and transform your experience of reality". Deepak Chopra
