This Podcast is based on Placebo Effect. Henry Beecher discovered the placebo effect as a medic in World War II. After running out of pain-killing morphine, he replaced it with a simple saline solution but continued telling the wounded soldiers it was morphine to calm them to his surprise, almost half of the soldiers reported that the inert saline solution actually reduced or erased their pain. Placebo Effect has a very close relation with Positive Psychology. Positive psychology is a branch of psychology focused on the character strengths and behaviors that allow individuals to build a life of meaning and purpose—to move beyond surviving to flourishing.
