Calling all readers! Selena from the Cherry Valley Library will be facilitating this book club at the Puri Family YMCA. Come and enjoy a cup of coffee and chat about this month's book.
In The Mindful Body, renowned psychologist Dr. Ellen Langer challenges the long-held belief that the mind and body are separate. Drawing on decades of research, she reveals how our thoughts, expectations, and awareness can directly influence physical health, aging, and recovery. Through powerful studies and real-life examples, Langer invites readers to reclaim agency over their well-being with the simple yet radical practice of mindfulness.
Participants are asked to bring their own book copies (or library copy) and to have read the book prior to book club. Please register at the link under "Tickets" to save your spot today!
