Today, we have a true pioneer in the world of psychology, Dr. Ellen Langer. She made history as the first woman to be tenured in psychology at Harvard University. Known as the "mother of mindfulness" and the "mother of positive psychology," Dr. Langer's work has shown that our thoughts can influence our physical well-being, from weight loss to wound healing. Today we dive into her fascinating findings and her bold theory of mind-body unity.
