How Being Mindless affects EVERYTHING we do – Dr Ellen Langer #303
Manage episode 409370677 series 1507948
Today on the Brain Booster we are joined by an extraordinarily special guest Dr Ellen Langer
Dr Langer has been one of the most influential people in the world of psychology over the past 40 years
She was the first female tenured professor in psychology at Harvard
Has written numerous books
She has conducted so many incredible experiments, most notably the ‘counterclockwise’ experiment where she had older men go into a ‘pod’ that took them back to their younger selves.
The results as we find out today were extraordinary
She has been studying Mindfulness for the past 35 years and makes clear that mindfulness is NOT meditation
Mindfulness is being aware of what is ACTUALLY happening as opposed to what we think is happening based on our auto pilot responses
- Why we need to realise that we DON’T know
- How our assumptions keep constantly tricking us
- How research only gives us PROBABILITIES not absolutes
- The ‘counterclockwise’ study and the amazing possibilities that open up
- Is ageing a direct consequence of our beliefs surrounding what we believe SHOULD be happening?
- Can we think ourselves WELL?
- Can we think ourselves SICK?
- What living a mindful life looks like
