In her latest, Harvard psychology professor and author of the best-selling Mindfulness Langer introduces the concept of mindful health, "the need to free ourselves from constricting mind-sets and the limits [placed] on our health and well-being and to appreciate the importance of becoming the guardians of our own health." Langer begins with a narrative of her weeklong counterclockwise experiment, where eight elderly men lived as if they were 20 years younger-and seemed to become "younger" as a result. She segues into the psychology of possibility and how to formulate subtle changes in thinking, like challenging societal labels associated with aging. Verdict: This is not your typical consumer health or medical advice book. Langer's empowering message invites readers to become mindful custodians of their own health. Highly recommended.-Maura Sostack, Virtua Memorial Hosp. of Burlington Cty., Mount Holly, NJ
