The Mother of Mindfulness: Ellen Langer's Life-Changing Insights
Dr. Ellen Langer joins Art to explore how uncertainty can be liberating rather than frightening. After losing 80% of her possessions in a house fire, Ellen discovered profound lessons about resilience and human kindness. Her groundbreaking research challenges everything we believe about aging - from the counterclockwise study that reversed aging markers in days to her work showing chronic illness doesn't mean uncontrollable. "One plus one doesn't always equal two," she explains, demonstrating how rigid thinking limits our choices. Ellen reveals why stress requires prediction and how mindfulness - simply noticing new things - can transform our health, relationships, and approach to life transitions. A master class in living with curiosity rather than certainty.
