In this episode, I join Ellen Langer for a discussion about mindful living and the ways it can impact health and wellbeing. We dive deep into the power of placebos, and how mindfulness can transform our relationships with others. From decision-making to healing and personal growth, we explore the ways a healthy mindset can counter the aging process. We also discuss the importance of prioritizing happiness over all else, and the strength it takes to live a full and exciting life.
Ellen J. Langer was the first woman to be tenured in psychology at Harvard, where she is still professor of psychology. The recipient of three Distinguished Scientists awards, the Arthur W. Staats Award for Unifying Psychology, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and the Liberty Science Genius Award, Dr. Langer is the author of eleven other books, including the international bestseller Mindfulness, as well as The Power of Mindful Learning, Counterclockwise and On Becoming an Artist.
Her trailblazing experiments in social psychology have earned her inclusion in The New York Times Magazine’s “Year in Ideas” issue. She is known worldwide as the “mother of mindfulness” and the “mother of positive psychology.” She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
