The Biology of Belief
by Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D.
The Biology of Belief was written by a former medical school professor and research scientist. He's not only someone who clearly knows what he's talking about, but he's the kind of author who can tell a technical tale in a manner that engages and entertains the reader.
In this book, Bruce Lipton presents leading-edge research that makes up a new field of science called Epigenetics. It sounds pretty 'out there' and yet the relevant discoveries have been made in established institutions and by highly-respected scientists. In a nutshell, Lipton describes a theory that our lives are far less controlled by genetics than conventional allopathic medicine would have us believe.
According to the research presented in The Biology of Belief, DNA is actually controlled by external information and stimuli, which are in large measure the individual's thoughts, attitudes and beliefs. As such, he concludes that if you can change your thoughts, then you can change your body.
You may think that you've heard this before. And to some extent you have. But The Biology of Belief presents it from a cellular biology perspective. However, that's really where the new information stops. I really enjoyed Lipton's easily understandable writing style and his at times self-deprecating humour. But by the time I finished the book, I find myself wanting more and feeling let down that this book hadn't delivered the goods.
In fact, I felt that the author actually ran out of steam. For example, the last chapter, which constitutes nearly one-fifth of the book, is devoted to so-called 'conscious parenting', which felt to me to be padding rather than material taking his thesis to its next natural step.
To be sure, you'll get the message that your thoughts impact your health and life. But if you want to do anything to change those thoughts, you'll either have to sign up for someone else's workshop (one that Lipton seems to be plugging) or you'll have to turn to another book. And if I were you, I'd opt for the latter. So, here's a recommendation – Your Mind Can Heal Your Body by David R. Hamilton!
