Time well spent
This is a fascinating subject and I lever that he not only have helpful information but he also mentioned the various studies that support it or not.
Understanding the mind can be challenging, but his explanations were clear and easy to grasp. The techniques he gives so we can apply a more positive and effective mind set were really helpful.
Highly recommend it

Fantastic second book.
Having loved Davids first book the Intellegence Trap I was concerned that the standard might drop, but I can report that is not the case!
I really enjoyed this and found it a fascinating Insight into how our brains predict our reality and then impact (often negatively) how we react to different situations with its expectations.
I will certianly be listening again and taking away many things that I think can help to improve my life and those around me.
Highly recommend.

Interesting
heavy on anecdote took a while to get to very interesting stuff...all would have been well if I had liked the narrator's reading but didn't thinkI've been spoilt by Ballerini and Sam West.it was OK but not to my taste.
