The chapter begins with a description of how the Chinese communists, in war-time, converted American captives to renounce their beliefs and divulge military secrets to the enemy. This was not done by physical torture but by redirecting the soldiers belief system until they were prepared to sign a statement, so great was their brain washing.
Another incident mentioned was a school teacher who believed so strongly in her pupil's ability she convinced them they were ace students, despite them previously labelled slow learners, we are all capable of much more than we think we are.
I have personally experienced, raising slow learners view of themselves and awakening their potential when teaching. Teachers have such an important role with young minds. It is very satisfying seeing them respond to your enthusiasm and expand their capabilities.
So how can you really change or expand your core beliefs and expand your thinking?
Many people have a great fear of uncertainty of the unknown and would rather live with what they know than challenge their fears. Which helps to explain why battered wives remain in an intolerable situation. They have been led to believe they are inferior, or they are causing the problems and no one else would want them. This brain washing together with fearing change, leads them to remain in a bad situation until usually something inside them snaps and they can stand it no-longer.

Another illustration of achieving what we expect: If we believe we are a fat person, although we can lose weight, we are likely to b put is on again until we change our identity and think of ourselves as a slim trim person. Slim people often take their build for granted and don't expect to be any other way!
