Science!

Did You Know That Every Time You Make a Wish…

You engage over a dozen different sciences! How fun is that? 

(In fact, there is science in fun, too!)

I was writing a novel about a magical world where wishes are gathered, sorted, and granted,  when one night I was listening to a talk about neuroplasticity. It made me wonder: IS there science in wishing? 

That led to an exploration of over 70 different scientists in a variety of disciplines, culminating in The Art and Science of Wishing.  A list of some of the sciences are below. 

And if you really want to geek out over the sciences, here’s a list of the Endnotes from the book with Research citations.

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL… 

As I’m writing the follow-up book, The Art & Science of Wishing at Work, I started a new list I call The Sciences of Success. 

Are you a researcher or scientist who would like to add to the discussion?
Contact Brownell to discuss.
