Do you expect a lot of yourself, your partner, your future and your life? According to a growing body of scientific research, you should. In today’s episode acclaimed science journalist David Robson, author of The Expectation Effect: How Your Mindset Can Transform Your Life, explains why positive expectations can set you up for positive results. Drawing on cutting edge neuroscience research, Robson breaks down why harnessing the power of your body’s placebo response can give you an intrinsic advantage in challenges you face at work, in the gym, on the sporting field, in your relationships and even in your leisure time.
