Ellen Langer is such a unique mind. So much of her research is wildly creative. Some of it still seems hard to believe for me. The hotel cleaners study, the counterclockwise study, the photocopy study, etc. What remarkable creativity and insight into human nature to even think of such experiments!
I loved this study too. I really frames mistakes in a powerful way. Thank you for reminding me of it Todd!
So glad you know so much of her work. Always under appreciated. One day I’ll tell about the day I interviewed with her out of grad school for a professor job at Harvard.
Hi again Todd, I was looking for the original study you mentioned Ellen Langer did. I've heard it before -- I think from reading your book Curious, years ago when it came out -- but I can't find any published study. Do you have the reference please? Thank you!
So this is when it gets weird Michael. She never submitted it to a peer review journal. Same with her study on nostalgia and aging and several others. It’s from her book on mindfulness.

I’d love to hear that Todd. I wonder what she’s like as a person!
She’s such an original. Great mind. Great personality. That’s the short version.

The healthy skeptic in me winces.
Thank you Todd.
