10% Happier Podcast with Dan Harris
Tune in to the 10% Happier podcast with Dan Harris for interviews with meditators, scientists, and authors on meditating, mental health, and much more.
I’m shocked at how little this “expert” understands how meditation and mindfulness actually work.😮 But the premise of her research is absolutely valid…and absolutely in the point of Buddhism and Taoism. Science as always waaaay behind the curve. Dan was very tactful as always!
this comment is a perfect example of what she talked about in that we think our way of seeing truth is TRUTH from all perceptions...ha ha you are funny.
Ellen Langer snapped me out of trance with her story about her house burning down, and how calm she was talki ng with the insurance rep after. He said something like "Are you OK? You've lost everything and you're the calmest customer I've ever had. Most people are out of their minds with grief and loss after a fire of this magnitude." And Langer replies "I've already lost everything. I'm not going to keep reliving it." Great example of how to snap out of trance and learn to train yourself to direct thoughts.
And as a feminist I love the fact that Langer was out beating the drum for mindfulness long before all the Power of Now and Wisdom 2.0 men came along to save us.
It looks she doesn't know anything about mindfulness in the Buddhist context but she is not aware of that. The contents she was bringing about "her mindfulness" were perfectly consistent with Buddhist mindfulness. Also, I felt a bit annoyed by her seeming very much arrogant. But thanks to meditation, I try non to attach to my judgment and leave her the benefit of the doubt. Lastly, what she said about terminal patients with cancer potentially spontaneously recovering is quite dangerous.
Buddhist perception is not the only one there is......once again, someone has decided they know the TRUTH......of course she is quite familiar with other perceptions!
Don't they have seminars where people ask questions at Harvard? Dan was being extra polite with his questions but she seemed to take offense
Very interesting woman but she is so closed minded in a way. Joseph Goldstein specifically recommends curiosity towards everything. He also specifies constant change is happening . He also teaches noticing pain and following what happens when you give it attention. I’m starting to get a little irritated with her dismissal of anyone else’s words. That being said I think what she talks about her work is important and valuable.
Her point of view that becoming mindful and more aware more often of the impermanence of everything, is something we can just "get" , seems hopelessly naive for most of us (she herself seems to be an exception). Perhaps others can simply become more mindful by telling themselves one liners like "everything changes". But, for the rest of us, we default to saying "no" when life changes in ways we don't want it to (aging is an example). The challenge for me is not knowing better (about life's ever changing nature) but doing better, moment to moment. Her dismissal of meditation and its effects on being non judgemental , "i don't buy it" she says, is a misunderstanding. I am not non-judgemental from meditation. Rather , i now find it harder to stick with and continue to believe in the judgemental thoughts that still arise. I see my ongoing judgemental thoughts for what they are, and in that awareness their power fades. She has lots of good ideas for sure and is clearly very intelligent (and aging well!). If only being mindful was simply a matter of "getting it". For me , i need a n ongoing practice to remind me, over and over again, that things change , and it is my resistance that causes me to suffer more than i have to (second arrow).
What a wonderful interview! I’ve read some of Ellen Langer’s work and am excited to read her new book. I’m so glad you had her on. (Though I have to admit to feeling slightly uncomfortable with what seemed like her dismissal of the benefits of meditation. Perhaps she’s not familiar with *your* books?) Regardless, I love your show, I read your first book when it came out. For me, it was another validation for practicing meditation. Thank you.
I love your show Dan, but I couldn’t get through this episode. You have the patience of a saint. Her open hostility towards meditation - even going so far as calling this ancient modality “woo woo” - was stunningly disrespectful. Her disdain for mindfulness meditation, even though her field of work includes mindfulness, creates a massive blind spot in her understanding & interpretation of her own research. Send Dr. Langer back over to Huberman so she can rub elbows with other members of the Ivy League Aristocracy.
This is wonderfull !!!
I feel a lot of people didn't get her. She's a strong woman speaking her mind. It made me like Dan's show even more.
interesting and irritating all at the same time.
Umm, ye 🤔🫣🙄
Both people are talking the same....just different language....
Not sure how much stock I can put in people who continue referring to themselves in the 3rd person. I find this lady abrasively obnoxious and still using her silly pancreous story, pass
poor Dan looks like he is being told off! I understand what she is saying but a bit lecturing for me.
Okay I have to make another comment. She really does think she’s the smartest in the room and Dan is an idiot. Arrogance which she probably thinks is well earned. At the end of the interview she does bring forth some valuable and insightful ideas.
no, you do not see at least from my perception
This lady has bad karma.
hmm, I'm not 10% happier watching this... live aloha
I like and respect her but she does not actually explain the difference between snake oil and belief which if they produce a result seem essentially the same
I couldnt follow in some parts
Heavy breathing
