The Mindful Body: Harvard’s Dr. Ellen Langer On The Power Of Mindfulness, How Thoughts Can Control Health, & Using Perspective To Lower Stress


Listen Later

Dr. Ellen Langer is Harvard’s first tenured female psychology professor, a pioneering researcher on the mind-body connection, and author of “The Mindful Body.”  

 

This conversation explores the radical impact of certainty on well-being and Ellen’s perspective that redefines traditional notions of mindfulness through the simple act of noticing new things.

 

In her return, we discuss why uncertainty brings freedom, how thoughts influence health outcomes, the kaleidoscopic nature of consciousness, and why everything we think we know deserves to be questioned.

 

Ellen is brilliant, irreverent, and wise. Her insights may transform how you think about thinking.


Enjoy!
