Perception is Reality
Topic Info
A study of hotel maids showed that they did not think they got much exercise — even with all the heavy lifting they do. But when they were told that their jobs qualified as workouts, the pounds simply started dropping.

Psychologist Dr. Ellen Langer talks about the famous Hotel Maids Study and how perception and belief can reinforce or transform the world we think we inhabit.
