　　Radical in its implications, this original and important workmay change forever the views we hold about the nature of learning.In The Power of Mindful Learning, Ellen Langer uses her innovativetheory 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 certainantiquated and pervasive misconceptions. In this pithy, liberating,and delightful book she gives us a fresh, new view of learning inthe broadest sense. Such familiar notions as delayed gratification,”the basics”, or even ”right answers”, are all incapacitating mythswhich Langer explodes one by one. She replaces them with herconcept of mindful or conditional learning which she demonstrates,with fascinating examples from her research, to be extraordinarilyeffective. Mindful learning takes place with an awareness ofcontext and of the ever-changing nature of information. Learningwithout this awareness, as Langer shows convincingly, has severelylimited uses and often sets on up for failure.With stunningapplications to skills as diverse as paying attention, CPR,investment analysis, psychotherapy, or playing a musicalinstrument, The Power of Mindful Learning is for all who arecurious and intellectually adventurous. 　　Ellen J. Langer, Ph.D., professor of psychology at HarvardUniversity, is the author of Personal Politics (with Carol Dweck),The Psychology of Control, and Mindfulness, which has beenpublished in ten countries. She is also coeditor of Higher Stagesof Development and Beliefs, Attitudes and Decision Making. She isthe recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and numerous awardsincluding the Award for Distinguished Contributions to Psychologyin the Public Interest of the American PsychologicalAssociation.
