Harvard Psychologist Reveals the Business Power of Mindfulness and Modern Psychology

We get it. Ideas are easy, but implementation is hard. Presented by ‪@guidewiseai‬, the ‪@implementorspod‬ podcast brings you the stories, strategies, and lessons from those who’ve mastered change — so you can, too. In this Implementors episode, host Ted Wolf and guest Dr. Ellen J. Langer (the first woman to be, and currently serving as, a tenured Professor of Psychology at Harvard University, and widely known as "the mother of mindfulness") discuss Dr. Langer's many notable achievements and contributions to modern psychology, use cases and applications of her works and discoveries to the modern business workplace, common misconceptions about mindfulness and its impacts on health and wellness, having her famous Counterclockwise Study being referenced in an episode of 'The Simpsons,' as well as significant findings and notable excerpts from her latest book, 'The Mindful Body: Thinking Our Way to Chronic Health,' plus many more exciting topics. ABOUT DR. ELLEN J. LANGER: Dr. 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 twelve 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”. Her works and contributions to modern psychology have been praised by the likes of Jill Bolte Taylor, Daniel Goleman, Adam Grant, Dan Ariely, Tom Peters, Deepak Chopra, Andrew Weil, Dean Ornish, amongst many others. ABOUT THE MINDFUL BODY: Widely known as “the mother of mindfulness,” Ellen J. Langer is regarded as one of America’s most influential psychologists. Her new book, THE MINDFUL BODY: Thinking Our Way to Chronic Health is the culmination of decades of revolutionary research that makes a convincing case to see mind and body as a single unit. Taking us into Langer’s trailblazing Harvard lab, THE MINDFUL BODY recounts many of her colorful experiments to illustrate the influence of mindfulness on how our bodies function, how we heal, and even how we age. A paradigm-shifting book by one of the great psychologists of the twenty-first century, THE MINDFUL BODY returns the control over our bodies back to us and reveals that a true understanding of health begins with our mindset.
