Speaker on Mental Engineering

I speak on what I call ‘Mental Engineering:’ training our brain to use expectations and beliefs as automatic pilots which steer us toward the successes we design. We already do it; what we want is to do it with higher intention. The way we expect the future to turn out becomes a prescription. I want people to walk away from hearing me and try thinking new thoughts. I want them to deliberately imagine new expectations.
