So what can we do to improve our lives with belief? Here are a few suggestions:

Manipulate your context to feel younger and feel better. You don’t need to make it look like 1959 but don’t act like your surroundings don’t matter.

Try priming yourself to improve performance.

Moderate overconfidence is beneficial.

Good luck charms and placebos can help. A little magic can be scientifically sound.

Be optimistic. Yes, pessimism softens the blow of bad news butit isn’t worth it.
