HOW YOUR MINDSET SHAPES YOUR HEALTH, HAPPINESS AND LONGEVITY |
David Robson
Science writer and author
Did you know that your overall expectations of your fitness can influence your risk of an actual heart attack? That labels for diet foods can make you hungrier than if you had eaten nothing at all? Or that people who associate aging with personal growth live for seven years longer than those who associate it with frailty and disability? Drawing on a pioneering new theory of the brain, David Robson will explain the power of your mindset to influence your health, fitness, happiness and longevity. |

THE QUEST FOR LIFE'S
ORIGIN |
Michael Marshall,
Freelance science writer
How did life on Earth begin? This is one of the most profound questions we can ask, and for almost a century, a small band of eccentric scientists has struggled to explain it. There are many proposals, and each idea has attracted believers who promote it fervently, as well as detractors who reject it with equal passion. However, it now seems all these ideas are profoundly wrong. Most aim to kick-start life with just one component, like a gene. But this doesn’t work. Instead, it may be that life began with all its major components, just in drastically simplified form. |
