Suggestible You
From respected science journalist and National Geographic magazine contributor Erik Vance, this groundbreaking narrative explores the surprising power of suggestibility and how our minds can shape our response to pain, major diseases, and everyday events. Delving into the world of placebos, hypnosis, and false memories, Vance takes us on a scientific, cultural, and personal adventure to an alternative medicine school near Beijing (often called "China's Hogwarts") to show how our brains can influence our well-being in ways we never imagined.
