And though a few members of the family remain mired in the past, others will attempt to move beyond the lives they have always known; and some will push forward as never before.

Drawing on landmark work in the field and her own body of colorful and highly original experiments including the first detailed discussion of her counterclockwise study, in which elderly men lived for a week as though it was 1959 and showed dramatic improvements in their hearing, memory, dexterity, appetite, and general well-being Langer shows that the magic of rejuvenation and ongoing good health lies in being aware of the ways we mindlessly react to social and cultural cues. Examining the Early Warning download epub hidden decisions and vocabulary that shape the medical world ( chronic versus acute, cure versus remission ), the powerful physical effects of placebos, and the intricate but often defeatist ways we define our physical health, Langer challenges the idea that the limits we assume and impose on ourselves are real.

Improved vision, younger appearance, weight loss, and increased longevity are just four of the results that Langer has demonstrated.
