Dr. Ellen Langer: Mindfulness

Dr. Ellen Langer has been considered by many as the "mother of mindfulness". As the first tenured female professor of psychology at Harvard, she's spent over 40 years studying what exactly being mindful means and how to cultivate it for personal and interpersonal good. During our conversation, Dr. Langer shares the different studies that she's been working on these past years and most recently, along with where her research is going. She's an unwavering force within the world of psychology, and perhaps it's because her mantra, "uncertainty should be the rule, not the exception", has provided her with the grit and understanding to weather any type of storm. She provides invaluable takeaways on how to harness mindfulness and what the solution is to some of our mindless problems. We discuss all of this and more.
