I have the audio book. There are 3 CD's, the first one "lost" me. Too much technical detail, for me anyway. The third CD was easier to understand and made more sense. But it's true, he doesn't give many examples of excercises in ways to "change one's ways". It sounded too much like a university professor lecture, one who makes assumptions on what you should already know.

I bought this book at the suggestion of a friend. He insisted so much that it was a must to read, I finally bought it. I read it in 2 days. It is one of the most fascinating books ever. It's very informative, while it's easy to read and fun also. Great, simply great!

Loved the detailed scientific descriptions which ultimately laid the ground work for the "proof" that your thoughts (belief) influence your cellular activity. Wanted more on the "how" to "believe" but found the explanations of how things work more than satisfactory to allow ME to conclude how to use this information.

Hats off to Dr. Lipton for swimming against the stream and daring what no one else dared. This book is a fascinating read and easy to understand for the non-scientist, I even found it suspenseful and hard to put down. I only gave this four stars instead of five since I would have liked to see more documentation. But besides that, I definitely recommend this book!

This is one of the most fascinating books I have come across regarding your thoughts and how they color your world. Dr Bruce Lipton studies provide incredible discoveries on the controlling links between your thoughts and the health of of your body. Included in the book is the idea that half of your personality is already programed as a newborn by others. Interestingly repeated negative thoughts or ideas from others go into your subconcious mind influencing your feelings and behaviors for over 95% of each day of your life. Once you change or redirect your thoughts from repetitive negative ones to other supporting thoughts you can become the master of your life ...however you choose to live it.

Other books I highly recommend are "Working on Yourself Doesn't Work: The 3 Simple Ideas That Will Instantaneously Transform Your Life", "Being Here: Modern Day Tales of Enlightenment", "How to Create a Magical Relationship: The 3 Simple Ideas that Will Instantaneously Transform Your Love Life" by authors Ariel and Shya Kane. If you found Dr Lipton's book as fascinating as I did, I'm sure you will enjoy the Kanes works as well. The Kanes revolutionary technology called "Instantaneous Transformation" is based on a non judgemental awareness, where repetitive patterns of unwanted behaviors cease to exist. I also tune into their internet radio show "Being Here" weekly to tap into their amazing approach. It simply and profoundly transforms life for the better. Life on earth can be of your choosing with extraordinary information provided by talented authors such as these.

This book is well written and fun to read and you'll learn more about you than you can imagine.Reading this book will make you smarter and greater.Well written!!

Truly this is not 'new' - but that is not an attach on the author or the book - they deserved full marks (and its a great read) - what is interesting is the fact that this is the discovery of how manifesting works, which was taught by Wattles, Haanel, Edison, Hill, etc wrote about and taught for so many years.

You can understand why/how it works with 'The Biology of Belief', but if you want a set of instructions on how it works just for you to get what you desire - just go back to the source:

I left the corporate world broken. When I read Bruce's Book it explained everything! Why my adrenals had collapsed, why I had tumors, why I wasn't living my life to its potential. It was all because of my Beliefs! I had limiting beliefs at the subconscious level of my mind that changed my biology.. My mind was creating dis-ease! Ouch! Still I was overwhelmed with a feeling that I'm in control. I read his last chapter and learned how to change negative, limiting beliefs with PSYCH-K. It turned my life around so much that I became a PSYCH-K Instructor and now teach people these tools around the world!

I love you Bruce! You are a talented cellular biologist and thought leader that is raising consciousness in the world!

Although Biology of Beliefs gives us some good ideas, and its premises seem valid, I was still looking for more about "how to" manage beliefs. On the other hand, Anatomy of Success by Ronald A Kaufman does a very good job of providing the next step towards understanding how we can change limiting beliefs to empowering ones. I recommend Anatomy of Success frequently to my clients and use the techniques suggested by Mr. Kaufman in my work as a coach on a regular basis.

Bruce Lipton, PhD, a cell biologist was a professor and researcher at the University of Wisconsin and had done stem cell research. At that time in his life his career was going well but his life was in a shambles so he up and moved to the Bahamas and taught cell biology to Med. Students. While there he observed the ecosystem and was away from the dogma of academia and he had an epiphany! He saw the individual cells in our bodies not as individuals but as a community of 50 trillion cells working together in harmony! He made the leap from individual cells to a community, to individual people and species coexisting on earth and the earth as a community of beings - alive!

He went on to shatter the old meme of Darwin's that said species were in competition with each other to a new frame of reference that all species needed each other. Then he had a breakthrough realization that DNA did not control our lives, but the environment had a hand in our evolution so he postulates that what we think changes what we experience - just like what happens when an individual cell encounters a foreign environment - it thinks for itself and makes changes to survive and protect.
Where before Bruce wasn't really spiritual, he certainly is now. I find the book interesting and enlightening.

I'm a yoga practitioner and yoga says that mind is superior to body. So we should be able to control our body with our thoughts but science has traditionally said DNA controls everything. I'm so happy I've been to relate thoughts from yoga based way of life and biology. Yoga way of life I got from Sunil Sheoran's Mylife Framework: A Model For A Successful Life Based On The Yoga Principles and thoughts on biology from this book. This book will break many established beliefs of science and again will prove that there are lot of things that are still not resolved by traditional science. I'd suggest both these books, if you want to have answers for all or most of the questions on life. Of course, not everyone is intellectual and open minded enough to grasp the powerful thoughts presented in these books.

While I don't agree with everything in this book, it is interesting and I recommend it.
In about 175 easy-to-read pages, Lipton covers everything from cell mem"brains" to Mandelbrots, from the point of view that environments influence everything about us and our world and we can change ourselves by changing these environments, both internally and externally.
The challenge is this: He tells us that we need to make CONSCIOUS changes, then he says that it is practically impossible for the conscious mind to overcome the SUBCONSCIOUS, where all of our false beliefs live.
If you enjoy THINKING, you'll probably like this book. If you're looking for an easy answer, you probably won't like it.

I wrote The Sacred Female, a novel of sexual love's power and transcendent sex. The Sacred Female Mostly based on experience with some cursory research, after publishing it, I continued my research into this field. Dr. Lipton's work validates my own conclusions that sexual love positively impacts the human body at the sub-cellular level! Of course, his work goes far beond my level of expertise, yet it lends credibility to my theories. So, of course I loved the book!

It's an interesting intellectual leap from cultural western scientific nihilism into quantum oneness reality. Had he studied zen Lipton would have arrived sooner; but it just wouldn't have been by the way of micro biology.
It's unfortunate that the subtitle, "Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter & Miracles," is misleading. This is a fine biography, but it doesn't tell us anything about how to "unleash" whatever hidden powers we have. I was waiting for "the" secret to be divulged. For that we should turn to Deepak Chopra who reveals a multitude of secrets to unleash our hidden powers.
I would recommend the Biology of Belief to all science majors. Excellent book, well worth the read.

This is a great book discussing the science behind how one's thoughts determine one's physical, spiritual, and emotional health. This book follows many 'new thought' paradigms that assert that how you think, manifests the circumstances that flow into your life.

The underlying thesis of this paradigm tells us that the universe is vibrational in nature, and therefore mirrors back to us our own personal vibration: if one is cynical about life in general, then cynicism flows back into your experience; if existential angst and stress is the lens through which you see the world, the vibration of stress will be your constant companion. Conversely, if optimism, joy, and prosperity occupy your focus and energy body, then those attributes will constantly be returned via your personal experience.

If you ever read Rupert Sheldrake's books on morphic resonance/fields, this book will make a lot of sense.

Lipton holds a PHD in biology an provides a stunning critique of how your thinking influences states of health in the human body.

Timely book for anyone not currently stuck in left brain hegemony.
