In this episode we talk to David Robson, an award winning journalist who’s worked for the BBC, Guardian, Times, Telegraph and Washington Post, about his fantastic book The Expectation Effect.

The book delves into the research around how much not only our own, but others beliefs and expectations can shape our reality.

We discuss the nocebo and placebo effect, the power of reframing, the performance gains from visualisation and paradoxes around food and happiness.

We also chat about how our own attitude to ageing can determine not only the quality of our life, but our longevity!

You’ll find this absolutely fascinating with so many take-away suggestions you can action straight away.
