Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
In business, sports, laboratories, and at home, our learning is hobbled, according to the author, by seven pernicious myths. This original and important new book replaces these beliefs with a concept of mindful or conditional learning, which offers more effective approaches to such skills as CPR, investment, or playing the piano.
Review:
"To anyone who has ever found learning, inside the classroom or out, to be an onerous process yielding little long-term benefit, Ellen J. Langer offers a path to relief."
Jerome S. Bruner

The Power of Mindful Learning (Paperback) (ISBN: 9780201339918) Langer, Ellen J. Quantity Available: 1
Book Description: The Perseus Books Group, United States, 1998. Paperback. Book Condition: New. 211 x 138 mm. Brand New Book with Free Worldwide Delivery. Radical in its implications, this original and important work may change forever the views we hold about the nature of learning. In The Power of Mindful Learning, Ellen Langer uses her innovative theory of mindulness, introduced in her influential earlier book, to dramatically enhance the way we learn. In business, sports, laboratories, or at home, our learning is hobbled by certain antiquated and pervasive misconceptions. In this pithy, liberating, and delightful book she gives us a fresh, new view of learning in the broadest sense. Such familiar notions as delayed gratification, the basics, or even right answers, are all incapacitating myths which Langer explodes one by one. She replaces them with her concept of mindful or conditional learning which she demonstrates, with fascinating examples from her research, to be extraordinarily effective. Mindful learning takes place with an awareness of context and of the ever-changing nature of information. Learning without this awareness, as Langer shows convincingly, has severely limited uses and often sets on up for failure.With stunning applications to skills as diverse as paying attention, CPR, investment analysis, psychotherapy, or playing a musical instrument, The Power of Mindful Learning is for all who are curious and intellectually adventurous.
