Book Preview:

#1 How you think about something can change its effect on you. The field of mindset science has demonstrated that a single brief intervention can improve your health, happiness, and success years into the future.

#2 The effect you expect is the effect you get. For example, telling yourself that watching television burns calories can lead to weight loss, but telling yourself that housekeeping is exercise can lead to weight loss and better health.

#3 The effects of how we view things can be seen in the body. For example, when people believe that physical labor is exercise, their bodies respond positively. When they believe that a milkshake is an indulgent treat, their bodies respond negatively.

#4 I was invited to experience the stress of a mock job interview, and how my body reacted to it, from the perspective of a participant in a study by Alia Crum. The video that was shown to me before the interview opened with the message that stress is enhancing, while the other video opened with the message that stress is debilitating.
