A Phenomenology of Langerian Mindfulness

In A Phenomenology of Langerian Mindfulness, Sayyed Mohsen Fatemi pays tribute to Ellen J. Langer's scholarship with innovative insights. By attending carefully and creatively to Langer's writing, Fatemi opens up new ways of thinking about human being and becoming. With a poet's wisdom, Fatemi understands how language honors imagination, interrogation, and interdisciplinarity in the mindful moment by celebrating the complexity of human consciousness and the contemporary urgency to attend to thoughtful conversations about what it means to be human. Fatemi's book is a rare gift of artful and heartful scholarship. -- Carl Leggo, University of British Columbia
A Phenomenology of Langerian Mindfulness is a timely exposition on Langerian mindfulness. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of the key concepts in Langerian psychology- presence of the mind, intentionality and phenomenal experience-the seemingly airy nothings that are crucial for our creativity and well-being as our daily lives are driven by an information explosion that necessitates mindless processing. This book can change your life. -- Louise Sundararajan, Founder and Chair, Indigenous Psychology Task Force
