Short Story: The 'counterclockwise' study - What if age is nothing but a mind-Set? (Ellen Langer)

This is a summary of a 1979 experiment by a Harvard psychologist Ellen Langer called 'Counterclockwise'. It was not academically recognized because it was a small-sample study, conducted over a mere five days, with plenty of potentially confounding variables in the design.
But the takeaways from her study remain compelling that mindfulness is important and placebo effects cannot be discounted. Therefore, we must never forget that our own expectations, and the expectations of others, work strongly on our minds and bodies.

We still get old and die regardless of any mindset .. it can happen all more pleasantly, but you age regardless
