What makes a winner? Why do some succeed both in life and in business, and others fail? The ‘winner effect’ is a term used in biology to describe how an animal that has won a few fights against weak opponents is much more likely to win later bouts against stronger contenders. As Ian Robertson reveals, it applies to humans, too. Success changes the chemistry of the brain, making you more focused, smarter, more confident and more aggressive. And the more you win, the more you will go on to win. But the downside is that winning can become physically addictive. By understanding what the mental and physical changes are that take place in the brain of a ‘winner’, how they happen, and why they affect some people more than others, Robertson explains what makes a winner or a loser – and how we can use the answers to these questions to understand better the behaviour of our business colleagues, employees, family and friends.

Ian Robertson: YouTube 2 minute video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlxCN1aCa2M Ian Robertson (born 1951) taught mathematics in Fiji before training as a clinical psychologist in London and specializing in neuropsychology. A leading international researcher, he has written widely about how our brains are changed by experience, and his popular books Mind Sculpture and Opening the Mind's Eye brought his scientific research to a wide audience. Recently Visiting Professor at Columbia University New York, his latest book - The Winner Effect: The Neuroscience of Success and Failure - was published in New York by St Martin's Press in October 2012. In this he shows how winning and losing shape our minds and brains more fundamentally than any drug and how our destinies depends on how we respond to success and failure.
