Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for the ARC!

As someone with health issues of my own, I was looking forward to this book. I was surprised by how statistically heavy and psychological it was. There were plenty of examples of behavior analysis and scientific studies that showed how the research supports changing your frame of mind.

Mindfulness is a subject I’m always curious about. While it was full of interesting information - including a new topic to me (iridology) - it was also fact and statistic heavy and at times I found it more cumbersome than interesting.

If you enjoy scientific studies particularly about behavior and neurosciences then pick the one up.

This book was both informative and educational. I enjoyed the writer's writing style and found that it was relatively easy to follow along with. Although the book was informative, I found that I could not stay focused at times. The book was just okay for me, but I would still recommend it to other!

Our thoughts and perspectives can shape everything in our body. What a concept. I was happy to receive an ARC from NetGalley for the purpose of this review. Four stars. Langer does an excellent job detailing mindfulness within the body. I learned a lot of facts based on research.

I would like to have more practical application in this book rather than it reading like a dissertation/research paper. There is some interesting information here, but I don’t know how much of it is usable for the average reader and how much needs to be analyzed through a research lens.
