In his new book Suggestible You: The Curious Science of Your Brain's Ability to Deceive, Transform, and Heal, Erik Vance works to understand the real power behind the placebo effect -- your mind -- and what make the placebo effect so, well, effective.
Erik and I talk about several entertaining and fascinating topics, including homeopathic medicine, the man who popularized hypnosis, and brujos (witch doctors) in Mexico, who Erik convinced to curse him. We really go in depth on the subject of the placebo effect, and the wide-ranging implications of its power if we could better understand just how it works. There are big implications for marketers, too, who can change customer reality by setting the right expectations.
