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.
