Harvard psychologist Ellen Langer explains how mindfulness can unlock timeless youth, reshape reality, and bridge the gap between mind and body. Known as the "Mother of Mindfulness," she shares how we are our own limiters, the power of language, and the path to a stress-free life. Ellen also covers the role of rituals, human evolution, and how to access mindfulness in daily life.
