This Book. This Book. Everyone needs to read this book. If there is one book you read this year that will help you grow - this is it.

Sorry. You are totally responsible for how you feel, and how you feel determines is you grow or die. You can't do both, and no matter what, your doing one or the other.

This book will help you snap into grow mode.

I also recommend "You are the Placebo" by Dr. Joe Dispenza. Another great book driving the same point home. Both books compliment each other, but I'd recommend reading this one first.

Reminds me of "The New PsychoCybernetics"

This is a good book. It reminds me a lot of Maltz's book "The New PsychoCybernetics ".

In in one way this is a better book than Maltz's, Lipton provides updated resources that contribute to the text that are different from what were in his text from ten years earlier.

Maltz's book was first published in 1960. The editors of the recent editions have added some updated resources, but the texts also continue to refer to articles from the 1950s from popular magazines. Maltz has been dead for some time and so it isn't his fault . I have thought all along that references to the old articles should be replaced with contemporary resources that confirm the claims of the earlier ones. It is an advantage for Lipton to be able to update his own book.

With that said, in some ways I like the PsychoCybernetics books better than this one because they provide exercises for making the changes in programming that Maltz describes. Lipton does a great job of describing the mechanisms of our problems and assures us that physical healing and personal change is possible, but he doesn't go that far into how to change the programming. He does say that simply relying on will power and positive thinking won't usually work. But he doesn't provide well developed alternatives in his book. Instead, he provides a link to resources and to someone else's web page. At that point the book looks like a sales pitch.

"The Biology of Belief" is a worthwhile book for someone interested in ideas complimentary to the works of authors such as Wayne Dyer or Owen Barfield. It is good to have a reputable scientist to present ideas similar to Maltz's in his own words because it shows that the earlier works can still be considered seriously, even if Lipton is something of a lone voice or minority view in the medical establishment.

Healing Energy modern medicine doesn't know about

A few years ago I was very sick, modern day medicine didn't know what was wrong and attributed it to just getting old and the break down of the body. I had other ideas and researched and found food was the way to eat my way back to health. Natural food food grown in my own garden or my local farmers garden. From this process I found self healing. Something in my history made me know about your bodies ability to heal itself and there is energy everywhere. Life is energy you are not plugged into a wall socket you generate your own energy just as the world around up. It is all connected. As I did further research I ran into Bruce Lipton's work and exigencies and Quantum physics. I agree completely and have read his books with great enthusiasm. It wasn't until modern scientific times that we suddenly forgot all about the power of self and the power of life's energy. I wonder what is wrong with our science?

Incredibly informative read

This book has been fundamental in helping me understand difference between the subconscious and conscious brains and how to handle the fight between the two when overcoming bad habits. I feel like I can conquer anything by just having the knowledge of how our brains truly work. Yes we all know that we have a subconscious and a conscious but Bruce does a fantastic job defining the two and provides such clever analogies to how each works. I’m usually too lazy to leave reviews and this is actually the first book review I’ve written. That’s how empowering and inspiring this book was.

Lots of Ah ha! moments in this book. Bruce Lipton is so dag on funny! I spend half the time rereading sentences to understand them and the other half laughing at this guys quirky personality which totally shows in his writing! I love it! He did such a great job explaining things, really breaking them down for our understanding. And although I was a science major and have had years of education in human/cell biology this was still difficult to read at times. There is definitely a lot of science in it. But to be fair I'm only on chapter 3. The chapters are long in this 10 anniversary edition due to some extended, updated material attached to the end of each chapter, but I love this because it really closes the gap between what was known 10 years ago as opposed to today, and a lot can be revealed in 10 years. I'd suggest that in the following 10 years Bruce just write a continuation book or an update book rather than adding to the already long chapters of this one. But it's an awesome book and i can't wait to use what I'm learning in my practice as well as on myself.
