Dr. Ellen Langer

Hi, I’m Ellen Langer, a social psychologist at Harvard and the first ever woman to earn Tenure in Harvard’s Psychology Department.

I’ve researched mindfulness, health, and human potential for over 45 years, and have published twelve books and over 200 research articles along the way.

My work explores mindfulness and how the way we think shapes everything from our health to our creativity. My latest book, The Mindful Body, shows just how much untapped control we have over our own well-being.

Ask me about: my research, Finding Happy, and the Albatross Foundation.
