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

Very interesting!
A very interesting read. I chose this audiobook out of pure curiosity of placebos/nocebos, not realising how useful it would prove in daily life; in dealing with stress, long term conditions/pain, etc.
It's well written, well read, very interesting with real life benefits as a bonus!

A Potentially Life Changing Book
This is like a version of "The Secret" that is backed up by rigorous scientific principles. A potentially life changing (and life saving) book. Highly recommended.
