The Science Of Making Wishes Come True | James Brooks | TEDxUCL

Our wishes can be made real by taking time to think strategically about them. We all have things we wish we could do but never get around to - it might be learning a language or sport, having better relationships, or more confidence. For me, I wish people were better at achieving their own goals, it's a world I would love to live in.

James is an educator and researcher – sitting between the disciplines of training, education and behavioural nudges. His particular areas of interest are personal effectiveness, metacognition, behavioural psychology, communication, and decision
making. Through his company Developing Cognition he brings research from academia into practical applications in universities,
companies and charities.
