This week i’m thrilled to chat with award-winning science writer David Robson. David is currently based in the UK, graduated from Cambridge University, and has appeared in several notable publications including Guardian, the Atlantic, Men’s Health, and Washington Post.

Or associating aging with wisdom can add seven-plus years to your life? Such is the power of the Expectation Effect. What we think will happen changes what does happen
