No, I don't mean me. ;-)
I just got an email from APS requesting the pleasure of my company at this
year's 25th Annual Convention being held in Washington, D.C. What's the
draw to attend? Why it's "Meet the Legends"! Among the "Legends" at
the convention will be:
Michael Gazzaniga! (I wonder if he'll have any NYU or Stony Brook stories)
Roy Baumeister (Signing copies of his book "Willpower")
Daniel Kahneman (Signing copies of "Thinking, Fast and Slow")
Diane Halpern (Signing copies of "Undergraduate Education in Psychology")
Susan T. Fiske (Signing copies of "Social Cognition" and "Envy Up, Scorn
Down")
Michael I Norton (Who? Signing copies of "Happy Money" -- sorry, all my
money is sad)
Barbara L. Fredrickson (Who? Signing copies of "Love 2.0" and "Positivity")
Daniel Willingham (Who? Signing copies of "When Can You Trust the Experts"
and "Why Don't Students Like School" -- I think the latter has to do with
cafeteria food)
and, last but not least....
wait for it....
okay...
Scott Lilienfeld! (Who? Signing a book that is a compilation of his TiPS
posts --
Oops! I'm sorry, that's Louis Schmier's schtick, Scott will be signing
copies
of "50 Great Myths of Popular Psychology" and "Brainwashed" -- remember
these books make great birthday gifts, Christmas and Chanukah gifts, and
the perfect gift for that certain special someone who deserves the best).
Alas, I won't be attending the APS convention this year, I'm still getting
over
the trauma of attending an APA convention down in D.C. back in the 1990s
and having seen Phil Zimbardo walking around the Hotel pool in his Speedos
(Ahhh! Make his stop!!!).
Best of luck to Tip's legend, Scott Lilienfeld. I know that this works for
some
people but don't show up drunk. ;-)

P.S. Sorry if I left that impression that the "legends" are all going to be
at APS
just to pimp their latest book but that was the emphasis of the email.
