Product details

A BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week

People who believe that aging brings wisdom tend to live longer. Good luck charms actually enhance athletes' performance. Taking a placebo, even when you know it's a placebo, can still improve health. Welcome to the expectation effect.

David Robson takes us on a journey through the latest research suggesting that our expectations shape our experiences. Of course, you can't simply think yourself thinner, happier, or fitter, but with this book, you can reshape many different aspects of your life. These easy-to-learn skills will help you on your path to becoming the person you want to be and living the life you want to live.
