Dr. Langer’s Contributions to Positive Psychology and Mindfulness
Dr. Langer is known for pioneering research that reshapes our understanding of mindfulness beyond meditation. She emphasizes mindfulness as an active engagement in the present moment, where individuals are aware, open to new information, and free from rigid, automatic thinking. Her notable books—Mindfulness, The Power of Mindful Learning, and Counterclockwise: Mindful Health and the Power of Possibility—challenge conventional notions of age, health, and productivity, suggesting that by shifting our perceptions, we can unlock new possibilities for ourselves and those we lead.
In her classic book Mindfulness, Dr. Langer explores how adopting a mindful approach can increase focus, creativity, and resilience, helping individuals break free from limiting routines and assumptions. The Power of Mindful Learning investigates how mindful practices can transform education and self-development, while Counterclockwise presents compelling evidence that mindset shifts can affect physical health and even the aging process. Her work continues to inspire leaders around the world to adopt a mindful perspective in their decision-making and interpersonal relationships.
How Dr. Langer’s Work Informs the ROUSER Model and Happytalism
Dr. Langer’s approach to mindfulness aligns deeply with the core principles of the ROUSER model of leadership. Her emphasis on active awareness and the power of choice forms the foundation for creating a culture of resilience, openness, and connection in leadership. The ROUSER model stands for:
By integrating Dr. Langer’s mindfulness principles, the ROUSER model empowers leaders to create environments of psychological safety, foster collective growth, and make decisions that contribute to personal and communal well-being. These ideas are also central to Happytalism, which redefines success as a state of happiness and well-being shared across communities and ecosystems.
