An entire chapter is dedicated to mindfulness and intelligence underlining that "when we are mindful, we implicitly view a situation from several perspectives, see information presented in the situation as novel, attend to the context in which we are perceiving the information and eventually create new categories through which this information may be understood." In this way a further myth is demolished, namely the belief according to which there are certain right answers which one needs to learn and keep, regardless of his own beliefs.
The book is easy to read and understand. While the examples Langer quotes are not always the result of serious scientific research the logical argumentation is a convincing one. Personally I think that she draws attention to numerous things that are likely to prevent us from properly acquiring information and maintaining it for long.

Mindfulness-Based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy: A Review Mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) is a form of behavior therapy aimed at treating various different disorders, most commonly major depressive disorder.
