Manage episode 382777040 series 3445704
This week, on The PQI Podcast season 5 finale, we sit down with Ellen J. Langer, Ph.D., to discuss her most recent book, THE MINDFUL BODY: Thinking Our Way to Chronic Health, and her mindfulness work in oncology.
Dr. Langer was the first woman to be tenured in psychology at Harvard, where she is still professor of psychology. The recipient of three Distinguished Scientists awards, the Arthur W. Staats Award for Unifying Psychology, a Guggenheim Fellowship, and the Liberty Science Genius Award, Dr. Langer is the author of twelve other books, including the international bestseller Mindfulness, as well as The Power of Mindful Learning, Counterclockwise and On Becoming an Artist. Her trailblazing experiments in social psychology have earned her inclusion in The New York Times Magazine’s “Year in Ideas” issue. She is known worldwide as the “mother of mindfulness” and the “mother of positive psychology.”
