BITESIZE | How to Stop Overthinking, Embrace Uncertainty & Enjoy Life More | Dr Ellen Langer #665

Many of us spend time agonising over decisions, regretting past choices or wondering what might have happened if we'd chosen differently. But today’s guest believes this way of thinking is based on a fundamental misconception.

Today’s clip is from episode 537 of the podcast with Professor of Psychology at Harvard University, Dr Ellen Langer.

Ellen has spent over 50 years conducting ground-breaking research into the power of the mind and how our thoughts can shape every aspect of our lives. 

In this clip, she shares a refreshing approach to decision making that could help us stop overthinking, let go of regret and feel more confident in the choices we make.

Ellen is a wonderful human, full of knowledge, expertise and passion. She is the recipient of three Distinguished Scientists awards and the author of twelve books, including The Mindful Body: Thinking Our Way to Chronic Health.
