The Mindful Body: Thinking Our Way To Chronic Health

The Institute of Coaching is excited to announce our upcoming CoachX Conversation with Ellen J. Langer and Carol Kauffman on The Mindful Body. This CoachX Conversation will be on September 6th at 12:00pm EST.

In this CoachX Conversation, Ellen and Carol will talk about adjusting your thoughts can change your health—from the "mother of mindfulness" and first female tenured professor of psychology at Harvard.

When it comes to our health, too many of us think that a medical diagnosis describes a static or worsening condition. We live our lives as though our ailments—our stiff knees or frayed nerves or failing eyesight—can only change in one direction: for the worse. Ellen J. Langer’s life’s work proves the fault in that logic. She has spent more than forty years testing the limiting effects of our negative assumptions as well as the healing power of being mindful—present in the moment and not distracted by memories or projections into the future. In The Mindful Body she unpacks her findings and boldly demonstrates how our thoughts and perspectives have the potential to shape our well-being.
