0:00.0	Welcome to Nobody Told Me. I'm Jan Black. And I'm Laura Owens. On this episode, we'll find out how so many aspects of our lives are greatly impacted by the way we think about ourselves.
0:23.3	Our guest is Dr. Catherine Sanderson, Amherst College Psychology Professor, and author of the wonderful new book, The Positive Shift, Mastering Mindset to Improve Happiness, Health, and Longevity.
0:35.7	Professor, thank you so much for joining us.
