Great read/listen
Fantastic book on mindset, empowering and effective to say the least.
Narrator was well spoken and easy to understand, however, often felt like I was listening to a university lecture and would zone out.

I’ll be reading it again
I’ve already shared this with everyone I care about and I’ll be reading it again. With thanks to David Robson for writing this terrific book and the researchers - including Alia Crum - who provided the material for it. Say no more. Enjoy.

You can choose
Sure a lot of things happen to us but the flip side of the coin is that we can choose to master our pathway through life by being mindful of our expectations.
David Robson invites us on a journey into expanding our growth just by recognising the power of our expectations. What an invitation, what a launch pad to our adventure.

Challenging ideas
A fantastic view on humans and the way that thoughts, feeling, psycho-somatics influence us. Placebo: yes. This book also delves into nocebo: great info
