When Rob came across a jar of positive affirmations, read out before family meals in Bogotá, he decided it needed souring up, so he slipped in a few notes of his own. Guess who pulled out one of his. Rob and Lis look at what studies say about visualising success, why it seems to backfire for students before exams, and the comparison that makes Lis call time on the conversation.
