How words affect us... and our cells

Jackson Drew explores the impact of positive and negative words on ourselves and others.

And in this delightful talk, Jackson gives us a peek into his fun experiment gauging the impact of positive and negative words and urges us to adopt a more encouraging vocabulary to help us achieve our goals.
