Mind Over Mind: The Surprising Power of Expectations
of Chris Berdik (Goodreads Author)
Description
How our fast-forward minds make something out of nothing From a healing placebo to a run on the bank, the self-fulfilling potential of expectations has been observed for years. But now, neuroscientists and psychologists are beginning to solve the mysteries of our expectant brain and applying their findings to fields ranging from medicine to sports to education.Mind over Mind explores the frontiers of expectations research, revealing how our brains work in the future tense and how our assumptionsâabout the next few milliseconds or the next few yearsâbend reality. It shows how expectations can sometimes make us healthier, stronger, smarter, and more successful while other times leave us depressed and defeated.Along the way, author Chris Berdik uncovers some fascinating phenomena, including: - How cheering for a team can backfire.- How optical illusions can alleviate pain.- How stereotypes can hurt or help student test scores.Expectations can heal our bodies and make us stronger, smarter, and more successful in many ways, or they can leave us in agony, crush our spirits, and undermine our free will. If we can unlock the power of expectations, we can maximize their potential and avoid their pitfalls.
