Very interesting!
A very interesting read. I chose this audiobook out of pure curiosity of placebos/nocebos, not realising how useful it would prove in daily life; in dealing with stress, long term conditions/pain, etc.
It's well written, well read, very interesting with real life benefits as a bonus!

Fantastic second book.
Having loved Davids first book the Intellegence Trap I was concerned that the standard might drop, but I can report that is not the case!
I really enjoyed this and found it a fascinating Insight into how our brains predict our reality and then impact (often negatively) how we react to different situations with its expectations.
I will certianly be listening again and taking away many things that I think can help to improve my life and those around me.
Highly recommend.

Interesting
heavy on anecdote took a while to get to very interesting stuff...all would have been well if I had liked the narrator's reading but didn't thinkI've been spoilt by Ballerini and Sam West.it was OK but not to my taste.
