The study we're talking about today is positive self statements, powerful some, parallel for others. We examine the contrary prediction that positive self statements can be ineffective or even harmful.

In this episode, we discuss confabulation with neuroscientist V.S. Ramachandran, and at the end of the episode we taste a cranberry chocolate chip cookie while contemplating positive affirmations.
