On May 17, Dr Simone Schnall presented a talk at a TEDx Oxbridge event at the Cambridge Union. The theme of the event was “Leaps and Boundaries”.
In her talk, which was entitled “Mountains into Molehills: How Your Bodily State Changes your Perception”, Simone argued that people can expand their own boundaries.
Simone's research has found that the way in which people perceive the world around them is influenced by how they are feeling at a given moment in time. This knowledge can be applied to make a daunting task seem easier. Watch Simone's talk to discover three ways in which this can be done.
