How Being Mindless affects EVERYTHING we do – Dr Ellen Langer #303

How Being Mindless affects EVERYTHING we do – Dr Ellen Langer #303

Author: Karl Morris March 29, 2024 Duration: 1:02:41

 Today on the Brain Booster we are joined by an extraordinarily special guest Dr Ellen Langer

Dr Langer has been one of the most influential people in the world of psychology over the past 40 years

She was the first female tenured professor in psychology at Harvard

Has written numerous books

She has conducted so many incredible experiments, most notably the 'counterclockwise' experiment where she had older men go into a 'pod' that took them back to their younger selves.

The results as we find out today were extraordinary

She has been studying Mindfulness for the past 35 years and makes clear that mindfulness is NOT meditation

Mindfulness is being aware of what is ACTUALLY happening as opposed to what we think is happening based on our auto pilot responses

  • Why we need to realise that we DON'T know
  • How our assumptions keep constantly tricking us
  • How research only gives us PROBABILITIES not absolutes
  • The 'counterclockwise' study and the amazing possibilities that open up
  • Is ageing a direct consequence of our beliefs surrounding what we believe SHOULD be happening?
  • Can we think ourselves WELL?
  • Can we think ourselves SICK?
  • What living a mindful life looks like

Karl Morris has spent years working as a performance coach with some of the best golfers in Europe, and in Mind Caddie-Improve Your Mental Golf Game, he shares that expertise directly with you. This isn't just about swing thoughts or technical fixes; it's a deep, practical exploration of the psychology that dictates performance on the course. The conversation moves beyond simple positive thinking to address the real challenges players face: handling frustration after a bad hole, maintaining focus over eighteen holes, and building a resilient confidence that doesn't vanish under tournament pressure. Each episode feels like a personal session, breaking down the mental frameworks used by tour professionals into actionable strategies for any committed player. You'll hear discussions on managing expectations, creating effective pre-shot routines, and understanding how your brain can be your greatest asset or your biggest obstacle. The aim is to provide the tools that help you access your best game more often, turning those range sessions into reliable performance when it truly counts. Tune into this podcast for honest, nuanced talks that get to the heart of why we play the way we do, offering a distinct advantage that has nothing to do with new equipment and everything to do with the space between your ears.
