Listen Later

In this episode, my guest is David Robson the author of the new book The Expectation Effect: How Your Mindset Can Change Your World. David is an award-winning science writer specializing in the extremes of the human brain, body, and behavior. David explores cutting-edge research that reveals the many profound ways that our expectations shape our experience. He brings together fascinating case studies and evidence-based science to uncover new techniques that we can all use to improve our fitness, productivity, health, and happiness.

In the conversation, David and I discuss:

  • What the expectation effect is and why it matters
  • The role our views and beliefs play in shaping our world
  • The difference between the expectation effect and positive thinking
  • The power of expectations for leaders and educators
  • The wisdom of being kind to yourself and much more
