I am an award-winning writer and editor, who specialises in writing in-depth articles probing the extremes of the human mind, body and behaviour.

My first book, The Intelligence Trap, examined the reasons that smart people make stupid decisions.

My second book is The Expectation Effect. It examines how our mindset can influence our health, fitness, happiness and longevity.

Quotes by David Robson  (?)

“The most mind-blowing results concern the aging process. People with a more positive attitude to their later years are less likely to develop hearing loss, frailty, and illness—and even Alzheimer’s disease—than people who associate aging with senility and disability. In a very real sense, we are as young as we feel inside.”
David Robson, The Expectation Effect: How Your Mindset Can Change Your World

“what we feel and think will determine what we experience, which will in turn influence what we feel and what we think, in a never-ending cycle.”
David Robson, The Expectation Effect: How Your Mindset Can Change Your World

“Hans Eysenck. “Scientists, especially when they leave the particular field in which they are specialized, are just as ordinary, pig-headed, and unreasonable as everybody else,” he wrote in the 1950s. “And their unusually high intelligence only makes their prejudices all the more dangerous.”
David Robson, The Intelligence Trap: Why Smart People Make Dumb Mistakes
