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, 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. What would you say to that? I'd say, I feel sorry for you

because you're missing out on a great opportunity to take care of yourself. It's interesting that

we have a notion of mind and body is separate. And that's ruled for so long. That's why people think, you know, the only way you can heal yourself is by taking some medication. There's no reason to have a mind and body as separate. They're just words. And loss of this book is based on the idea of putting them back together, even just for useful purposes.

And if you have a mind and body in there one thing, then wherever you're putting the mind, you're necessarily putting the body.

And so now I have decades worth of research showing that we can put the mind in very unusual places,

take the measurements from the body, and indeed the effects are clear.

Wow.
