(Hide Review...)  Changing old beliefs
Reviewer Permalink
The Biology of Belief reinforced my belief that drugs do nothing but cause problems for the body. Bruce Lipton shows exactly what drugs do to the body which for myself was a vindication of what I believed for the last 20 years. It also gives great hope for the power of belief in providing a means to listen to the body and act on what you feel when the body speaks. It was very eye opening to find that beliefs are formed in new life before it comes into the world by the environment which it is exposed to. The Biology of Belief shows a new direction that the medical profession can at last provide guidance to their patients instead of the old paradigm of surgery and drugs. Thank you Bruce Lipton.

(Hide Review...)  Laborsome to Read
Reviewer Permalink
This book does not tell us how to harness the Power of Belief. It is full of technical, boring and laborsome reading. Poor choice.

(Hide Review...)  Excellent, just missing 'how'....
Reviewer Permalink
This is an excellent book - very enlightening as to the science behind why beliefs affect our life. I have great respect for Bruce Lipton and his work. He is an important pioneer for our future. I would have given this book 5 stars, but was disappointed at the lack of 'how' for changing our limiting beliefs. Apparently one must spend more money to attend PSYCH-K seminars. Otherwise, the book is extraordinary.

(Hide Review...)  Don't believe the subtitle!
Reviewer Permalink
This book does not attempt to unleash the power of anything.

To save you some time & money - the author believe cells are like computer chips, which can be programmed. End of story.

In 10 years maybe the author will write a book about how we can systematically use this property of cells to improve our lives - but this is NOT that book.

(Hide Review...)  Using science as a springboard for a leap of faith
Reviewer Permalink
I casually bought this book assuming it was based on science...what a mistake!!! The author uses terms such as "energy" in the loosest and most irresponsible way...He draws lines where in reality there are none, in order to equate "wave" and "quantum" energy to mean the "healing energy" in some alternative medicine therapies. He further equates quantum physics to "mysterious" and "unexplained" paranormal phenomena...not to mention debunked and unverified phenomena! But the efficacy of alternative healing is not even questioned in this book-it is presented as effective and unresearched. The author expects the reader to make a leap of faith-if you accept quantum physics, then you must also accept alternative healing- based soley on the misuse of terms. What a joke!

(Hide Review...)  One of the Best
Reviewer Permalink
This book is one of my most precious and cherished books. I believe that this wonderful man has written the clearest and most inspiring book explaining what creative genious' we all are. I loved his research, his ability to inspire, his remarkable ability to communicate and his enthusiasm which leapt off each page. We are far more powerful than we ever realized and we have the absolute ability to change our lives by merely changing our thoughts and emotions. Of course once you've read the book you are left with the question...how do I change my subconscious beliefs? He likes the method of PsyK - there are numerous methods, but no magic bullet or technique. In my opinion no one method fits all. I think that once you realize that you can change your beliefs you will discover the best technique for you. But first you have to open your eyes to the power within. This book will clearly and absolutely open your eyes and inspire you. This is a book too good to miss.

(Hide Review...)  The Biology of Belief
Reviewer Permalink
Exploring the workings of the cells gives insight to understanding our thought processes while opening up to more questions about who we are and what is our essence. If the reader is not familiar with the terminology it can slow them down a little, otherwise the book flows well through the subject. It makes the point that what we think is reflected in our bodies, and if we pay attention to our what our bodies are telling us, we can rethink our thoughts. Retrain our cells by rethinking our beliefs and our physical and mental health will improve and so our perspective on our experiences. Encouraging and enlightening.

(Hide Review...)  Two Chapters Too Short
Reviewer Permalink
If you are looking for answers on how to improve your life, don't waste your money. The author starts off by telling you how he turned his life around by changing his beliefs. The chapters explain the science very cleary and in layman's terms - it is all very interesting. Just when you are ready to turn the page to find out the author's secrets, the book is ending !!! The author doesn't explain what he did to resolve issues in his own life and does not explain how you can do it in yours. He only refers you to his friend's book which, if you read the reviews on that one, is just an infomercial for an expensive seminar they both teach !!!! Unless you are a scientist, you will not find this book helpful.

(Hide Review...)  Genetics and Intention - A Perfect Understanding
Reviewer Permalink
The Biology of Belief, is one of the best books I have had the pleasure of reading. Dr. Bruce Lipton addresses the ideas of genetic control and epigenetics, and how our perceptions and beliefs can affect our genetic health. Dr. Lipton explains in detail the differences and the importance of the understanding of the placebo effect versus the 'nocebo' effect. As he puts it, our negative and positive beliefs are a result of our programming from even before birth, as well as after. These beliefs, particularly if they are negative can hurt you in an equally and powerful way as positive beliefs can heal you. This should be no surprise, yet many are shocked to hear this information. We have all heard stories of 'miraculous' recoveries from terminal illness through the power of positive thought and the the ability of focusing the mind on healing the body. Dr. Lipton reminds us that negative thoughts cause the 'dis-ease' to begin with. Through cellular biology studies, he proves the effects of negative stimuli on the cells, their 'parts' and the cell structure. For those of us who are not scientists and cell biologists - this is a simplified discussion that provides a deeper understanding. Further, he shows that we all have the ability to not only stop degeneration in our bodies, but we can actually cause the regeneration of damaged cells, organs, and tissues.
The power of intention to heal is required for healing. Dr. Lipton explains the questions for anyone interested in health and healing through this one book alone.
As a parent, I cannot stress enough the importance to read this book. In fact, Dr. Lipton addresses parents directly in one section of the book. He realizes, and sends the important message that every second since our children were conceived - they have been receiving negative and positive stimuli. As parents, it is up to us to learn how to remove our own negative programming so that we can pass those same techniques and skills, as well as the benefits from removing them - on to our children. Take heart though, this is not a criticism. Dr. Lipton reminds us that we are a result of our own programming and have not done anything wrong. We are only 'wrong' when we are now aware of this information and we do not take the action to use it appropiately.
For those who would like to explore this in more detail, I would also recommend to visit DrWayneDyer.com and sign up for his newsletter. Upon doing so, you will be taken to a page with a recorded video interview with both Dr. Wayne Dyer and Dr. Bruce Lipton discussing the importance of the messages in this book combined with intention. It is a compelling interview not to be missed and goes into depth about the book and its message.

This is a very quick read and easy to understand. Bruce Lipton not only unlocks the door to a new consciousness, but opens the door and turns on the lights.

(Hide Review...)  AWESOME!!!!!
Reviewer Permalink
I am not all the way through this book yet, but it is absolutely eye opening. It appears to go well with Gregg Braden " The Spontaneous Healing of Belief", as I have read!! Both are fascinating and very helpful in understanding and enlightening us to be able to change the way we look at things in order to better our mind, body, spirit experience fort he better. LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!

(Hide Review...)  A molecular biologist with a sense of humor=amazing!!
Reviewer Permalink
Even if you have no background in the sciences this book is easy to read and even a pleasure.
Understanding that we are not pre-destined by our genetic inheritance is liberating, especially if like me your genepool is a cesspool of less than perfect genetic potential!

(Hide Review...)  Didn't Work For Me
Reviewer Permalink
Recently heard Bruce Lipton on the Coast to Coast Show and was intrigued by his presentation of Biology of Belief. I downloaded the three plus hours of CD's with the expectation of learning of his material and how he and others benefited from it.

Overall very intersting, but I found it to be more of an academic discussion with little practical application. In the last 18 minutes he mentions you can change your subconscious programing and mentions he has a 10 minute technique for doing so but makes no mention of any specifics.

For entertainment would give him 3-4 stars, for 'news I can use' 1/2 - 1 star. To recommend to a friend - 0 stars.

It has been a very interesting experience to read this book. It is very easy to understand for non-scientific people.

I recomend this book to whoever wants to understand how our thoughts affect our body (cells).

(Hide Review...)  Amazing information, no mercy for the dumbing down of America!
Reviewer Permalink
This book is a fantastic primer on cell biology and what's being discovered today about quantum physics and how it relates in a macro way to the cell. what was both daunting AND respectable about the book is the amount of technical education given on cell biology, chemistry, energy, etc. I found myself skimming over some, but I wanted to honor the mans' work as much as possible, and I realized that I could say "no" to the dumbing down of society by slowing down and ingesting the information.

The book gives an entirely new slant to how our state of mind as well as subconscious programming gives rise to changes in cell and body chemistry. In fact, this is probably the most complete information I've seen on how the subconscious works in relation to the conscious, as well as the REASON that the first four years of a child's life are the most important. Very sobering, a must read for anyone wishing to lead a more conscious life.
