You’re Not Stuck — A Harvard Mindfulness Expert Explains Why: Dr. Ellen Langer

You’re Not Stuck — A Harvard Mindfulness Expert Explains Why: Dr. Ellen Langer

Your mindset shifts your reality. In this week's episode, Mercedes and Anastasia sit with Dr. Ellen Langer. Dr. Langer is the first woman to reach tenure in psychology at Harvard, and she's known as the 'mother of mindfulness'. She joins us to share her definition and hacks to mindfulness, why most of us are operating on autopilot (and how/why we can change this), and why fun is essential to mindfulness. Dr. Langer also describes some of her most famous studies and research, extrapolating what can be learned from each of these studies. Listen in for hacks to becoming more mindful, overcoming the dangerous scarcity mindset, and how to shape your mind for a happier lifestyle.
