Tomar un placebo, aún sabiendo que lo es, puede mejorar significativamente la salud. Adoptar una actitud indulgente hacia la comida ayuda a perder peso. Un amuleto puede realmente ayudar a un deportista a rendir más. O, todavía más sorprendente, las personas con una actitud positiva hacia los últimos años de su vida tienen menos probabilidades de padecer fragilidad y enfermedad (incluso Alzheimer) que aquellos que asocian la edad con senilidad e incapacidad. Es “el efecto expectativa”, el fenómeno por el cual nuestras expectativas y creencias, aún las más irracionales, determinan nuestras experiencias de maneras reales y cuantificables. Recurriendo a emocionantes casos de estudio y a sólidos estudios científicos publicados en revistas de prestigio, el premiado periodista David Robson explora los mecanismos psicológicos y fisiológicos por los cuales nuestra mentalidad condiciona —para bien y para mal— nuestra vida y propone revolucionarias técnicas que nos permitirán mejorar nuestro rendimiento, productividad, inteligencia, salud y felicidad.
You’ve heard of the placebo effect and how sugar pills can accelerate healing. But did you know that sham heart surgeries often work just as well as placing real stents? Or that people who think they’re particularly prone to cardiovascular disease are four times as likely to die from cardiac arrest? Such is the power and deadly importance of the expectation effect - how what we think will happen changes what does happen. Melding neuroscience with narrative, science journalist David Robson takes listeners on a deep dive into the many life zones the expectation effect permeates. We see how people who believe stress is beneficial become more creative when placed under strain. We see how associating aging with wisdom can add seven plus years to your life. People say seeing is believing but, over and over, Robson proves that the converse is truer: Believing is seeing. The Expectation Effect is not woo-woo. You cannot think your way into a pile of money or out of a cancer diagnosis. But just because magical thinking is nonsense doesn’t mean rational magic doesn’t exist. Pointing to accepted psychology and objective physiology, Robson gives us the practical takeaways we need to improve our fitness, productivity, intelligence, and happiness.
