Dr. Ian Robertson Virtual Event Sponsored by Bank of Texas Dec 9, 2021 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM Imagine we could discover something that could make us richer, healthier, longer-living, smarter, kinder, happier, more motivated and more innovative. Ridiculous, you might say... What is this elixir? Confidence. If you have confidence, it can empower you to reach heights you never thought possible. But if you don't, it can have a devastating effect on your future. Confidence lies at the core of what makes things happen.
Dr. Ian Robertson is a leading researcher on how we can harness the mind’s attention systems to maximize the brain’s capacity to reshape itself and to give every person a sense of control over their own emotions and cognitive function. A Scottish neuroscientist and clinical psychologist, he is a Professor of Psychology at Trinity College Dublin. He also serves as Co-leader of The BrainHealth Project.
