Your Thoughts Aren't Shaping Your Health. They Are It | Dr. Ellen Langer

Welcome back everyone at the School of Greatness. Very excited about our guest. We have the mother of mindfulness, the mother of positive psychology, Dr. Ellen Langer in the house. So good to see you.

Thank you. Your bio is really impressive. You are a pioneer in the world of psychology, and you made history as the first woman to be tenured in psychology at Harvard. You've got three different awards, science, scientific awards around your studies and 13 different books.

And you've got so much information backed by research and science talking about how to heal our bodies, how to heal our minds, how to reverse our aging, all these different things that I'm fascinated to go into because I think a lot of people don't believe that you can change your body. and the pain within your body with your mind and your thoughts. And you are talking about specifically in this book that you can. And I'm curious if someone is saying this is just a bunch of crap, you know, I don't believe any of this. I only believe that, you know, I have to take a pill or medicate myself to heal my body.
