Uncertainty and the Power of Possibility

Dr. Ellen Langer, Ph.D., is a social psychologist and the first female professor to gain tenure in the Psychology Department at Harvard University. She is the author of eleven books and more than two hundred research articles written for general and academic readers on mindfulness for over 35 years.

Dr. Langer has been described as the “mother of mindfulness” and has written extensively on the illusion of control, mindful aging, stress, decision-making, and health.

Tim’s Takeaway: I’ve shared Dr. Langer’s latest book, The Mindful Body, before. It’s awesome. And I thought it fitting to share this clip as we all look back on 2024 and forward to 2025. Our futures are not predetermined. By changing how we think we can change our future. This hopeful mindset and mindfulness are what I am taking into 2025.
