I love this, Joe! I am sure many of us, myself included, do not reach our full potential. Do you have ideas of how to "turn back the clock" in non age related (perhaps in ability related) ways?

Thanks Noah! Great question. Digging more into Langer's research shows that the power of the mind not only works in this "turn back the clock" scenario but also by using reframing techniques for a wide variety of self-improvement scenarios, including building resilience against setbacks. For example, simply reframing failure as a step towards success can fortify the mind with just enough courage to try again in the face of failure.
