Episode 3612:
Jay and Heather Harrington explore how age, success, and well-being are all shaped more by mindset than by biology or circumstance. Drawing from Ellen Langer’s “Counterclockwise Study” and Steven Pressfield’s work on resistance, they show how internal belief and mental habits can profoundly transform our physical vitality and personal achievement.

Quotes to ponder:
"Age is a question of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter."
"Thinking that we are old and frail or young and vibrant, therefore, can each be their own self-fulfilling prophecy."
"The only thing that stands between you and your dream is your mind."
