Ellen Langer is a renowned psychologist and professor at Harvard University, celebrated as the 'mother of mindfulness' for her groundbreaking research in the field over the past four decades. Her work has significantly advanced the understanding of mindfulness, which she defines as the active observation of one's surroundings and the focus on the present moment. Langer's studies, including the famous 'counterclockwise study' in 1979, have demonstrated that mindfulness can lead to improvements in mental and physical well-being, enhancing memory, cognitive function, and even physical health.
