In episode 59 of the podcast,

a list of them I talk about why you should find a lucky charm.

And the lucky charm discussion reminded me of a very charming,

though admittedly, perhaps a powerful story that illustrates the nature of superstition.

So according to this, perhaps a powerful story.

The eminent physicist, Niels Bohr.

Notice that a friend had a horseshoe nailed above the door.

And so Niels Bohr said, you know, why do you have that?

And the friend said, well, it brings luck.

And Niels Bohr says, yeah, do you really believe that?

And the friend says, oh no, I don't believe in it.

But I'm told it works even if you don't believe in it.

And I love that story because it just shows how we think in these superstitious ways.

Go ahead and give yourself a lucky charm.

It may bring you luck, even if you don't believe in it.

I'm Gretchen Rubin and I hope this makes your week a little happier.
