Dear Friends,
I hope this finds everyone feeling wise and well! Here is the second episode of our “Best of Series” on In Search of Wisdom. In last week’s episode, the first in the series, we shared my conversation with Oliver Burkeman, the author of Four Thousand Weeks. Today, we turn to the importance of mindsets in shaping our experience through a conversation with David Robson, the author of The Expectation Effect.
How Your Mindset Can Change Your World
On today’s episode (the second of our “Best of Series”), I’m sharing my conversation with David Robson, author of The Expectation Effect. 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.
In the conversation, David and I discussed:
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
