Discover thought-provoking talks, ground-breaking discoveries, interactive experiences and more at New Scientist Live Manchester and Online |
- You’ve probably heard of the placebo effect. And perhaps you’re aware that sugar pills can accelerate healing. But did you know that your overall expectations of your own fitness can influence your risk of an actual heart attack?
- What about the notion that labels for diet foods can make you hungrier than if you had eaten nothing at all?
- Or that people who associate ageing with personal growth live for seven years longer than those who associate it with frailty and disability?
At New Scientist Live Manchester and Online, science writer and author David Robson will discuss all this and more as he explains the power of your mindset to influence your health, fitness, happiness and longevity.
Drawing on a pioneering new theory of the brain, David’s event is just one of many thought-provoking talks, ground-breaking discoveries, interactive experiences and hands-on activities, workshops and performances you can expect at the mind-blowing festival of ideas. |
