She referenced The Mindful Body numerous times, noting that it contains the core studies—including the famous "counterclockwise study"—that support the idea of mind-body unity. The conversation used the book as a framework to explore how changing one's mindset can fundamentally impact chronic health and longevity.

And when you say you put the mind in strange places, what do you mean by that? Well, the original study testing the mind-body unity was the counterclockwise study.

And so as I report in the mindful body, we have lots of studies where we put the mind in strange places and take measures that seem to justify the notion that it's one unit.

Okay so look at both parts of that and as I describe in the mindful body prediction is an illusion.
