Why people recommend it
Counterclockwise by Ellen J. Langer is a groundbreaking exploration of the psychology of possibility, mindfulness, and the profound effects of mindset on physical health and aging. On an episode of Modern Wisdom, Benjamin Hardy enthusiastically recommended Ellen Langer's books, specifically highlighting Counterclockwise alongside Mindfulness, noting that the concepts contained within would completely blow the listener's mind and promising to include links to them in the show notes. Hardy referenced her work while discussing various psychological insights and the contributions of prominent Harvard researchers to the understanding of human potential. Separately, on The Jordan B. Peterson Podcast, the host engaged in a deep conversation with Dr. Ellen Langer herself. During the episode, Dr. Langer reflected on her extensive academic career, referencing her broader research and publications while sharing an anecdote about the bureaucratic hurdles and skeptical review committees she faced when attempting to secure approval for her pioneering studies. Both discussions emphasized the transformative power of Langer's psychological frameworks, illustrating how altering one's mindset and rejecting rigid categorizations can lead to measurable improvements in health, vitality, and longevity across the human lifespan, challenging conventional medical and psychological assumptions.
