What happens when you ask someone to sit and have a conversation with you in an elevator? Short but sincere moments of kindness.

When we were making the list of ‘least silly places’ to do our experiments, an elevator was at the top of our list. In such a small space where people are so physically close to one another, why is human connection lacking? Our goal was to give advice, ask for a moment of friendship, and have ‘mini-therapy sessions’ in the duration of someone’s elevator ride.

Thank you to all that we spoke with.
