Dr. Lauren Millward, a respected social psychologist and Senior Lecturer at the University of Adelaide, finds her world turned upside down when her daughter Rachel falls seriously ill. As Lauren grapples with her daughter's condition, she becomes embroiled in a high-stakes battle against a powerful corporation threatening to exploit her groundbreaking research on the power of expectations.
Lauren's work demonstrates how our expectations can shape our reality, influencing everything from personal achievements to physical health. When a corporation attempts to use her findings for unethical purposes, Lauren must decide whether to compromise her principles for financial security or stand firm in her beliefs.
As she navigates this moral dilemma, Lauren applies her research to help Rachel recover, guiding her daughter through visualisation techniques and positive-expectation-setting. The novel explores the deep bond between mother and daughter as they face adversity together, drawing strength from each other and their shared belief in the power of the mind.
Meanwhile, Lauren forms an alliance with fellow psychologist Dr. Myrna Johnson, whose expertise in visualisation techniques complements Lauren's work. Together, they push the boundaries of their field, seeking to harness the transformative potential of expectations for the greater good.
The story weaves together Lauren's professional challenges, her family's personal struggles, and her own journey of self-discovery. As she fights to expose the corporation's unethical practices, Lauren must also confront her own doubts and fears, learning to embody the very principles she teaches.
Set against the backdrop of Adelaide, Australia, the novel paints a vivid picture of academic life, family dynamics, and the courage it takes to stand up for one's beliefs in the face of overwhelming odds.
Will Lauren's groundbreaking research and unwavering determination be enough to overcome the forces aligned against her? Can the power of expectations truly change lives, including her own daughter's?
'Expect your possible life' is a gripping tale of resilience, ethics, and the extraordinary potential of the human mind. Lee Hopkins masterfully blends psychological insight with heart-pounding suspense, delivering a story that will leave readers questioning the limits of their own expectations and the incredible power they hold to shape their lives.
