The Counterclockwise Experiment
Discover Ellen Langer's radical 1979 experiment where men lived as if it were 1959. The shocking results on aging and health challenge everything we know about the mind-body connection.
The most radical aspect of Langer's work isn't that belief affects biology, but that she treats this connection as a therapeutic tool rather than an inconvenient complication. For families, it raises questions about how we talk about aging parents, how we structure care-giving relationships, what kind of expectations we hold and communicate about capability and decline. But its implications may last as long as we're willing to question our assumptions about limitation and remain open to the transformative power of a different story well told.
