Ellen Langer on Mindfulness and Leadership

Nice talk. Ellen Langer is the author of Mindfulness (1990), one of the first non-Buddhist books I read on the subject, and Counterclockwise: Mindful Health and the Power of Possibility (2009), which I only recently have discovered.

Mindfulness and Leadership

Speaking at the ADC Future Summit in Melbourne, psychologist Ellen Langer speaks about the theory of mindfulness and how uncertainty and awareness affect the quality of our decision-making. Ellen Jane Langer is professor of psychology at Harvard University who has studied the illusion of control, decision making, aging and mindfulness theory. She was the first woman ever to be tenured in psychology at Harvard University and is the author of over 200 research articles and six academic books, including Mindfulness and The Power of Mindful Learning.
