Waits is ready to read. Are you?

Hello friends! I’m so excited to present the second selection for our Bonzai Book Club – Counterclockwise: Mindful Health and the Power of Possibility, by Ellen J. Langer. Langer is a prolific author and – quite literally – wrote the book on Mindfulness. As an award-winning social psychologist, Langer has spent over thirty years studying the way that our thinking affects all aspects of our person. And now, in Counterclockwise, she couches her work in the context of physical health and wellness.

What if we could actually turn back time? What if we could repair our vision, shed the excess weight, improve our disposition and increase longevity, all by changing the way we think? Do you believe that it’s possible?

Part of me believes. Part of me is pretty skeptical. But, all of me is damn curious!

Counterclockwise contains 10 chapters, so here’s the plan: we’ll each read chapters 1 thru 5 by Thursday, October 13, at which point we’ll reconvene for our first discussion. Like last time, I’ll lead with my own topic questions, but please bring your own questions and thoughts!

The 13th is only 10 days away, so we gotta get on it! I know that this book will be nothing if not provocative, but I really feel like there’s wisdom buried in these pages. I’m so excited!!!

Waits is too – he’s already gotten started:



See you on the 13th!
