The Biology of Belief: Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter, & Miracles Paperback – January 1, 2008
With more than 100,000 copies sold of his self-published book, The Biology of Belief, Bruce Lipton teams up with Hay House to bring his message to an even wider audience. This book is a groundbreaking work in the field of new biology, and it will forever change how you think about thinking. Through the research of Dr. Lipton and other leading-edge scientists, stunning new discoveries have been made about the interaction between your mind and body and the processes by which cells receive information. It shows that genes and DNA do not control our biology, that instead DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating from our thoughts. Using simple language, illustrations, humor, and everyday examples, he demonstrates how the new science of Epigenetics is revolutionizing our understanding of the link between mind and matter and the profound effects it has on our personal lives and the collective life of our species.

Bruce Lipton with this book revitalized my old curiosity for biology and life of cells. Some ideas are just outstanding - genes are just blueprints, while membrane is a brain, and constant communication with environment and each other shape our life.
I really like the idea that evolution may be guided not only by struggle but cooperation too. I was shocked to know that genes can be passed without reproduction mechanisms.
For a moment I think this book is worth reading for all the inspiration it gives. But beware PSYCH-K BS in the end is awkward, and I don't agree with spiritual and quantum physics based stuff.
I really enjoyed reading this book, it gave me enough food for thoughts and ideas to believe and try.
This book, (The biology of belief: unleashing the power of consciousness matter & miracles by Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D.), which I purchased on Amazon, explores human consciousness as it relates to biological factors. What I found interesting reading this book was how the author’s intellectual development from being a pure scientific minded individual to a scientist who now believes in the mystical and esoteric to some degree.
As someone who traveled the same intellectual road and was once believer in God, and turned agnostic, and then atheist, and back to agnostic and finally back somewhat religious, because the science of Quantum physics has forced me to look at the world differently.
This very thought provoking book is organized into seven chapters and an epilogue covering the following material: Lessons from the Petri Dish: In praise of small cells and smart students, it’s the environment s, stupid, the magical membrane, the new physics: Planting both feet firmly on thin air, biology and belief, growth and protection, consciousness parenting: Parents as genetic engineers and spirit and science.
If you are seeking a book that clearly explains the science of biology and how the author’s own research has made him reevaluate the whole relationship between science, faith and consciousness you may want to check out this volume.
Rating: 4 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Tactical Principles of the most effective Combative Systems).
Just like the book, his lecture was a fascinating mixture of wit, brilliance, and facts to make people's brains s t r e a c h. A great read if you want to know what a man came up with from literally being intimate with "the cell" for 20 years and coming up with the concept (very quantum theory ish) that the cells --even when separated-- knew exactly what the other cells were feeling... think about it and much more with this great read. I'm an Int'l Certified BodyTalk Instructor and this book is a must read for my students of the BodyTalk System for growth and understanding.

The format Bruce uses, as well as his style, are very 'user friendly' and this made for an enjoyable read. As for the material itself, I found that I learned a great deal about the field of Epigenetics and it is refreshing to hear another voice disagreeing with, in my biased opinion, the deterministic views coming from the choir of the majority. Certainly I am no expert in the field of genetics; however, anytime I hear that scientists have found 'the answer" I shudder. The fact that DNA sequencing was supposed to be the holy grail of all things living is no different than when the world was flat and at the center of the universe. I do not dispute the fact that DNA research and the field of genetics is important, but when part of that conclusion says that Mother Nature decided to make 96% of that DNA useless (junk DNA) I tend to believe that there is more to the situation than what we are perceiving or what we have the ability to measure. Perhaps the beleifs of genetic determinism are incomplete, perhaps we need better tools, and perhaps the final word on DNA has yet to be written; however, one thing is certain, the fact is that we don't know everything there is to know and we will only expand our awareness by being open to new ideas.
Science is about discovery and a desire to get to truth, yet it seems that many "so-called" scientists are no different than the religious zealots that burned people at the stake 500 years ago. Anyone remember Giordano Bruno? So, what does this have to do with the 'Biology of Belief'? Well, in this book Bruce goes against the deterministic view and says that it is not only genetics that shape our inner world, it is the environment as well. This book is one of self-empowerment because it says that you aren't just a machine following orders that came from pond scum 700 million years ago. You have the ability to transform your outer world and INNER world. Certainly empowered people are healthier and harder to control then their unaware counterparts and they use less pharmaceutical interventions. Hmmm, so by being aware of our power we take money out of the pharma's pockets, who are the ones providing so much of the funding to the scientific quacks. No wonder the mainstream scientists resist work such as this, it's their pocket book stupid (you need to read the book to get the gist of that last statement). In the end, ironically perhaps, the quasi-scientists of today will go the way of their ancestors and go extinct because they refuse to look at the facts, to adapt to the environment and view new ideas with curiosity rather than dogma. Perhaps the title of Bruce's next book could be something like, 'Did dinosaurs wear lab coats?'
