Science! Not woo-woo. I can see why the author of The Expectation Effect was compelled to explicitly distance his book from The Secret and other nonsense. The book explains how perceptions and expectations influence outcomes – from learning, to health and wellness, to stress management, and aging. The audio version was an easy listen and a useful mindset tune-up. (I will be bummed if this one ends up in the debunking crosshairs of If Books Could Kill.)
