The School of Greatness with Lewis Howes

Dr. Ellen Langer has spent 45 years proving something most doctors still resist: your thoughts don't just influence your health, they are your health. In her groundbreaking counterclockwise study, elderly men lived as their younger selves for one week with zero medical intervention and emerged with improved vision, hearing, strength, and even looked noticeably younger. She's discovered that chambermaids lost weight simply by viewing their work as exercise, that wounds heal based on perceived time rather than actual time, and that stress is the single greatest source of illness, surpassing even diet and genetics. You'll walk away understanding that chronic disease isn't a life sentence but a signal that medicine hasn't caught up yet, and that your body responds to every thought whether you're aware of it or not.Dr. Langer’s books:MindfulnessThe Power of Mindful LearningOn Becoming an ArtistCounterclockwiseThe Mindful BodyIn this episode you will:Discover why stress causes more disease than diet, genetics, or e
