The Pygmalion Effect and Self-Fulfilling Prophecies: How Your Thoughts Become Reality (#15)
About this episode
Let’s talk about the Pygmalion Effect and the self-fulfilling prophecy.
The beauty of these concepts is that they reveal the power of thought, belief and emotion. We’re creators, and our primary medium is our imagination.
And though we tend to abuse this power and create like drunkards, it’s possible to retrain ourselves to get our mind working in our favour.
We look at common examples of this effect, like in the learning process, contemplate why it’s true, and discuss the keys to getting it to work for you.
