Harvard Psychologist Reveals How Mindfulness Can Transform Health, Wellness, and Workplace Success

We get it. Ideas are easy, but implementation is hard. Presented by Guidewise, the Implementors 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.
