Speaker Bio

Ellen Langer is a highly-sought keynote speaker on the topics of Mindfulness, Education, Psychology, and Creativity. At Harvard University, Dr. Ellen Langer is a professor of psychology. In addition to her book, Mindful Creativity, she has written several works for general and scholarly audiences, including Mindfulness and The Power of Mindful Learning.

Throughout her career, Dr. Langer has published over 200 articles and six books on topics like the illusion of control, decision-making, aging, and mindfulness theory. The American Psychological Association’s Award for Distinguished Contributions to Psychology in the Public Interest, the American Association of Applied & Preventive Psychology’s Award for Distinguished Contributions of Basic Science to Applied Psychology, the James McKeen Cattel Award, and the Gordon Allport Intergroup Relations Prize have all been given to her for her work.

Dr. Ellen Langer is a psychologist at Harvard University and teaches in the department of psychology. Mindfulness, The Power of Mindful Learning, and On Becoming an Artist: Reinventing Yourself Through Mindful Creativity are some of her publications written for both general and academic audiences.

Six academic books and more than 200 research articles summarise Dr. Langer’s work on the illusion of control, aging, decision making, and mindfulness theory. Numerous academic honors have been bestowed upon her work, including the American Psychological Association’s Award for Outstanding Contributions to Psychology in the Public Interest, a Guggenheim Fellowship, the American Association of Applied & Preventive Psychology’s Award for Distinguished Contributions of Basic Science to Applied Psychology, and the James McKeen Cattel Award and the Gordon Allport Intergroup Relations Prize.

According to the citation for the APA’s Distinguished Contributions Award, “In her groundbreaking research, she demonstrated that increasing one’s level of mindfulness has significant benefits to millions who previously thought their problems were unalterable and unavoidable. Ellen Langer has shown time and time again that we set our boundaries.”

Langer is a member of the American Psychological Association, the American Psychological Society, the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, Computers, and Society,  and the Society of Experimental Social Psychologists, among other organizations. She has lectured in Japan, Malaysia, Germany, and Argentina, among other places.

She believes that certain outdated and ubiquitous assumptions hinder our ability to learn in business, sports, laboratories, or even at home. She gives us a new perspective on learning in the broadest sense in this brief, empowering, and amusing book.

Langer debunks a slew of common misconceptions, including “the essentials,” “correct answers,” and even “delayed gratification. In her studies, she shows that her concept of mindful or conditional learning may be pretty effective, and she substitutes them with fascinating instances of how it works.

Ellen J. Langer, a best-selling author and Harvard psychologist, tells us that creativity is not a rare gift that only some particular few are born with but rather an intrinsic component of everyone’s DNA. Everyone can express their creative impulses uniquely and enrich their lives.

Ellen believes that we can obtain wonderful health at any age if we change our mind to possibilities instead of expecting impossibilities. The magic of rejuvenation and long-term good health lies in being aware of how we mindlessly respond to social and cultural influences. These are the subject of her “counterclockwise” study.

Older men were forced to live for a week as if it were 1959 and demonstrated a significant improvement in their hearing, memory, dexterity, appetite, and general well-being. Langer examines the hidden judgments and words that construct the medical world (chronic versus acute, “cure” versus “remission”), the profound physical consequences of placebos, and the sophisticated but frequently pessimistic manner in which we define our bodily well-being.
