About this listen
The placebo effect, where you believe something works and it does (sometimes), whether it’s weight-loss products or even wrinkle creams: Is it the supplement working, or is the mind doing all of the heavy lifting? Does it have any relation to hypnosis and how the subconscious mind thinks? Find out how and why.
What is multiple sclerosis, and what are its effects? What are the signs and probable causes of this debilitating illness? What are the requirements in order to be diagnosed with multiple sclerosis? How does it develop and affect your life, what are the effects of myelin damage? In this book you will find tips for coping with it and how to stop regressions.
Memory: we all wish we had a better one, whether you’re a college student who’s taking a test worth 40% of your final grade, or a grandparent trying to remember where you put your keys. This book contains so many magnificent memory methods you’re bound to find the one that’s right for you. From methods for subjects you don’t like, to the famous Loci’s Approach, learn how to gain self-discipline and persistence, even find out what’s in store if you go to Marine Corp training.

This book also talks about various ways we learn, and which methods work better than others. This guide will also give you some nifty, worthwhile speed-reading strategies. While also teaching you about ways to improve your focus and memory. What is neurogenesis, and how can it increase my brain? Can it help recover an aging brain?

Our thought lives have incredible power over our mental, emotional, and even physical well-being. In fact, our thoughts can either limit us to what we believe we can do or release us to experience abilities well beyond our expectations. When we choose a mindset that extends our abilities rather than placing limits on ourselves, we will experience greater intellectual satisfaction, emotional control, and physical health. The only question is... how?

Melding neuroscience with narrative, science journalist David Robson takes lstenersi 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.

Richard Dawkins' brilliant reformulation of the theory of natural selection has the rare distinction of having provoked as much excitement and interest outside the scientific community as within it. His theories have helped change the whole nature of the study of social biology, and have forced thousands to rethink their beliefs about life.

The Blind Watchmaker, knowledgably narrated by author Richard Dawkins, is as prescient and timely a book as ever. The watchmaker belongs to the 18th-century theologian William Paley, who argued that just as a watch is too complicated and functional to have sprung into existence by accident, so too must all living things, with their far greater complexity, be purposefully designed. Charles Darwin's brilliant discovery challenged the creationist arguments; but only Richard Dawkins could have written this elegant riposte.

This is interesting
Books like this can help us gain greater understanding of what are minds are capable of. First of all, I loved the fact that the placebo effect is finally addressed. I know of too many health product scams and it's becoming more prevalent. Interesting take from the author to say that the placebo can actually work, and to find out what we can do to take advantage of it.
I liked the other parts of the book too, but this was the most interesting thing. Other than that, good voice, good narrator.

Great book
Yeah, what can I say about it? Just that I learned a lot of new things, I guess. I was pretty excited about it, but now I don't really know what to say. Either way, I like it. That's the most important thing to say about it.

BORING!
OMGOSH! This first chapter talks about serotonin which probably gets mentioned about 73 times.
I just started chapter 2 and it has already put me to sleep!!!!
I guess if you can get past these chapters it might be ok but I’m ready to move on.
I just can’t get myself to listen it anymore.
