The Effect of Expectations

Noted psychologist Frankl wrote of how individuals who had some expectation to serve after the war survived the concentration camps much better. Frankl's own example of his own desire to teach graduate courses in psychology and to capture the human response to the horror of the concentration camps is a living example of how man can mentally overcome anything. Here is a short video that shows a modern example of how the role of expectations plays out in real life. Ask yourself the question: Am I expecting something good to happen.... ? Maybe you should!
