Mind over matter

This month I have been delving into New Scientist again and one article in particular really sparked my interest. Called “Mind Over Matter”, the author David Robson outlines and supports the assertion that changing your attitude can have profound benefits on your health (Robson, 2018). In this day and age of metaphysical thinking this may not seem like a mind-blowing-ly new concept, however I often find the mind over matter approach being thrown about without a lot of research to back it up. So when the article outlined studies to support this concept I suddenly got a bit more interested.
