Product details

Transform Your Life with the Power of Positive Expectations

Our expectations influence our perception and behavior. Sometimes, they even trigger self-healing processes. This is what we refer to as placebo effects. But how do these effects work, and how can we harness them to lead a better, healthier, or happier life? Neuroscientist Rebecca Böhme reveals what truly works and how we can activate the lucky pig within us.

Continuously, our brain attempts to predict what will happen next. To do this, it establishes connections between our actions and the reactions of our environment or our own bodies. When a reaction is strong, whether positive or negative, we pay special attention to the event. This mechanism, which we all use, can explain how rituals and superstitions develop. Cults and gurus exploit these effects. However, marketing and politics also influence our behavior in this way; the current buzzwords for this are framing and nudging. Yet, as Rebecca Böhme demonstrates, we can use the same effects for our own benefit, giving the lucky pig within us the opportunity to showcase its abilities—showing what it can do. Maintaining and nurturing a lucky pig can be somewhat complicated, as these creatures are very skittish. But, as the message of the book, which compiles the best tips that science currently has to offer, suggests: It is worth it!
