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.

An interesting book combining biology, quantum physics, consciousness, and the universe.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 9, 2021

Verified Purchase

We are living in truly amazing times. The once separate topics of science and the esoteric are beginning to merge because of scientific developments in Quantum Physics and other sciences.

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).

The research and description of the cell, especially the cell membrane, and how outside influences play the major role in gene activation helped me see the topic more clearly since I had come across the idea before. The chapter on the effects of stress on the mind, body and cell activity was also exceptional and I learned new information that helps to reiterate that stress reduction is very important. I had come across the importance of stress reduction via the research and explanation of the meditation and breathing program Éiriú Eolas which I have been practicing for some time.

The author in another chapter describes how as children we are programmed with habits, beliefs and that as adults we are reactions machines just playing back these programs. I found the description spells out the state of the individual pretty well. I'm not sure if the author is aware of the teachings and work of G. I. Gurdjieff. Gurdjieff laid out this fact in a full explanation of the subject over 70 years ago. The book `In Search of the Miraculous' I think gives the best and fullest version of Gurdjieff's Fourth Way teachings and is an in depth description of man as a reaction machine, so if you find the chapter interesting you will want to continue on to Gurdjieff. It's interesting to find that science with its discovery of the adaptive unconscious, see the book `Strangers to Ourselves' for a full treatment of the subject, that is mentioned by the author is just now catching up to Gurdjieff and what I see as the best explanation for the actions and state of man as a whole.

I have to respectfully disagree with the author's epilogue that pretty much states that individuals just need to find love and also that the evolution of man will lift us out of our current sad and degrading state. The universe and existence may be based and lead to a "higher state of awareness" for man, but not without conscious work and a basic understanding of what makes up humanity and it seems only a very few individuals are willing to make the effort and acknowledge the darker aspect of our reality - psychopaths and the role they play in society and personal relations. The author and readers would do well to research and learn about the role psychopathy has to play in why we live in a violent and dog eat dog reality based on Darwin's survival of the fittest. This fits all too well the aspects of psychopath that lets them thrive. If you give psychopaths nice thoughts or love they will basically maul your being without a second thought, so knowledge of their existence and the part they play in the chaotic and evil nature of the current state of affairs on earth is in my mind essential. (Books - `Without Conscience', `The Sociopath Next door', `Puzzling People', `Political Ponerology' to name a few that are vital to understand this topic)

Overall give this book a chance. I think it will surprise you and lead you to other understandings if you let it.

I read Lipton's book after finding EFT through Dr. Mercola. I had already used the techniques in the Emotion Codes and the Healing Codes. Both had been helpful for me. I have found EFT to be the most powerful of those techniques. However, I had a problem with all of the "energy psychology" techniques because they required my agnostic scientist mind to suspend disbelief in favor of "woo-woo." This book has resolved that conflict. I gave it 4 stars, though, for the reasons some other reviewers did, which is that the book's promise of showing someone how to reprogram the subconscious is not fulfilled. I have not used Pysch K and can not speak to its efficacy. I have used the Emotion Codes, which is essentially free other than the small cost of the book, and I have used the Healing Codes, also essentially free other than the small cost of the book. The Healing Codes is a very good value as there is a website to which any purchaser of the book is given access on which there is a substantial amount of support material, and there are weekly phone calls that are free that people can participate in as well. Both were very helpful to me, but after reading this book, I am able to use EFT in a much more intentional and directed way than I was able to use either one of the other two techniques, because now I understand exactly what it is that I am working to get at and change. Lipton's book gave me the pieces of the puzzle I was missing to make the energy psychology techniques work even more powerfully than they had worked for me up to that point. There are several books on EFT that come up on Amazon, including one in the For Dummies series. I have not read any of them and can not speak to them, but I see very high reviews for many of them. If you run a search the EFTFree website will come up, and there is free material on the website. You may also be fortunate enough to be close to one of the EFT Masters to get a couple of private sessions or take one of the classes, or at least one of them I am aware of offers monthly teleconferences for the cost of $7. Lipton's book will support and enhance the efficacy of any of the energy psychology techiques you choose. His website also lists several different modalities, not just Psych K. If one doesn't work, try another one until you find what works for you to heal mind and body. This book is an excellent explanation of the biological basis of why any of those techniques work, which in turn strengthens the likelihood that something will in fact work for you.

Spirit and Science

A well founded scientific dissertation which leads to thought-provoking conclusions. On a biological basis, Dr. Lipton breaks away from the fundamental Darwinian theory that evolution is based on the struggle for survival. On the contrary it's based on collaboration, and the sooner we'll understand this the better, because, as it is, we are heading towards selfdestruction. - - The new ideas that Dr. Lipton brings forward are so many that it is impossible to give a full account of them. To mention a few, while expanding on the new science of epigenetic, the writer shows how we are not condamned by our genetic inheritance. We can fight against it even in the realm of illnesses and acquire control of our physiological and psychological behaviour. - - We are much more influenced by the environment to which we adjust through a "cell's awareness" - - Most of our character and behaviour is determined by our subconscious already in the first years, or even months of our life - and even from the time we are in the womb.. We are passively impressed by what we perceive from our physical and social environment. It remains only 5% of conscious decisions with which freely intervene on our behaviour, changing the pre-existing tendencies.
Science, mainly quantum physics and biology, leads dr. Lipton to very interesting spiritual insights; and he comes to the conclusion that we are "one thing with a bigger Universe/God". "We all represent ... a small part of God."
It's impossible to make justice to this booki in a few words. Although deep, it is clearly written and very enjoyable.

Important but incomplete

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on August 1, 2013

Lipton, in his book, sets about demolishing what he himself admits is a straw man: the notion that genes determine disease and its progression. In his view, genes only provide a blueprint for building proteins, and it is the cellular receptor proteins on the membrane which drive gene expression in response to their environment. Few genes are self-expressing. This hardly seems controversial. Nevertheless, the book is, even if it is not its main intent, a good and very readable laymen’s introduction to the molecular biology of the cell, and worth reading for that reason alone.

The “belief” in the title refers essentially to the ability of the brain to command, whether consciously or unconsciously, the production of neurotransmitters and other signalling proteins which then tell cells what to do. This view, as Lipton acknowledges, is based on the ideas of Candace Pert. Interestingly, Lipton reports that this signalling intelligence was first developed in unicellular amoeba communities, where the signalling compounds are released into the environment and operate between distinct individuals. Multicellular organisms came only later, and took over this system of signalling to regulate the behavior of the community of cells which had now come to be permanently associated in a single individual. Thus cellular intelligence underpins the intelligence of more complex organisms.

Despite its expositional merits, however, Lipton’s book does not get us much closer to an understanding of the actual mechanisms behind the control of cell behavior. For the most part, he relies on somewhat forced analogies from quantum physics, the pertinence of which is far from established. Whilst he seems authoritative in matters of cell biology, what he says about quantum physics is frequently wrong and sometimes breathtakingly so. Essentially his main argument, which may well be valid but is nevertheless lacking in detail, is that the body’s self-healing mechanisms are activated by relaxation and disactivated by stress, i.e. by the activation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.

These self-healing mechanisms may be astonishing, and may depend to a significant degree on the variables he cites, but they remain quite mysterious in their details. One possibility one might have hoped Lipton would explore, but which he does not, is that there is a macro equivalent of the cellular apoptosis mechanism which leads entire organisms to self-destruct when signals in their environment communicate to them that they no longer play a role in the community. This may be a gross simplification but it would fit with Lipton’s overarching metaphor whereby the human body is, in many ways, merely the cell writ large.

Lipton also takes the medical community to task for overuse of prescription medicines without a proper understanding of their systemic functioning. However he does not, and cannot, establish any principles to determine whether or not the use of pharmaceuticals is appropriate in individual instances and whether the other healing resources of the body have been sufficiently activated and explored. As such, the criticism, even if one may have sympathy for it, seems superficial.

These criticisms aside, it is clear from this and other books that a major shift in social consciousness around health and healing is underway and increasingly forcing its way into the mainstream. For those who continue to place undue faith in the mechanistic and simplistic ideas which have hitherto underpinned Western allopathic medicine, the book will be a very helpful antidote. We may be still a long way off adequately describing how the body’s self-healing mechanisms work, but there seems no doubt at all that they make a key contribution to health outcomes and, if only for this reason, should be nurtured. In reality, of course, the quest for optimal health only dictates what the spiritual path anyway demands on other counts: a conscious uncovering of reality, and the courage to listen to what we already know.

An important and empowering book

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on July 31, 2013

Having recently listened to Bruce Lipton speak at the annual IONS (Institute of Noetic Sciences) conference I was excited to read this book. Bruce has a knack for taking the information obtained from his scientific background in Biology and making it understandable to someone who has no education in the field of Biology.

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?'
