You Are the Placebo: Making Your Mind Matter

I bought this book about 10 months ago after seeing the film “what the bleep do we know” and I wanted to wait before I wrote a review as so many self help books fail to make a difference in real life, Not this book! I love the evidence based theories and real life examples, Dr Joe’s writing style is highly accessible and kept me engrossed. After reading You Are The Placebo i went on line and bought Dr Joe’s meditation and made an effort to meditate every day, his is the first meditation i have attempted and i must say it was hard to stay in it for over an hour every day but i have found it well worth the effort.I am still implementing the meditations and ideas into my life and i am seeing amazing results. I haven't read a lot of books in this kind of genre but i can say this this is possibly the most significant book I have read in my life and if you can keep an open mind then you will feel the benefit of Dr Joe's work.

Excellent book - informative & enlightening. I have been experience stress,anxiety and sometimes feel low due to an abusive and degrading enviroment I was in for a number of years. It took a great toil on me I ended up even having multiple major operations and I was left feeling like I could not cope with life. I had therapy and is now having counselling. However I need to encourage and motivate myself as well and this is where this book has been of great benefit to me. It enlightened me more on how the brain and the body works and our feelings and emotions and the ill health we sometimes experience. I am motivated to think in a calmer positive way ( even though I am mostly I calm person) and I am learning to control my thoughts and emotions and I notice that it has been helping me tremendously. I applied things I learnt as I read the book and it is creating a healthy happier and positive me. It takes patience with yourself and practice. I am still working at it and benefiting, in my opinion you can too whatever your situation; you do not have to be ill to benefit. Best wishes.

This is am awsome book, well written and inspirational. It explains as far as possible, the power of belief and positive/negative thinking and positive/negative emotions over our reality.....but does so by drawing on some of the latest scientific research in psychology, neuro science and quantum physics. It offers objective explanations of why the mind and our emotions are so powerful and the extent to which they can change our lives and our health for better or worse. It explains the mind body link and gives explanations of the physiological, biological and genetic changes that take place with thought and emotion. It then goes further to explain the processes we can use to change our health and life (such as medition, affirmations, visualisation) but takes our understanding of the effects of these processes on the mind and body/biology to another level by explaining WHY they work.and the BEST way to use them to optimise their effect..again backed by objective scientific current understanding!!For anyone that truly wants change.........this is a MUST Buy book......I work in the field of counselling/psychology and I am always looking for something inspirational, different but objective. I Love this book.!!!

I think this book is fantastic but takes a lot of effort to read. It contains many technical words, although Joe Dispenza does take time to explain them all. The basic idea is that if a placebo can cure an illness - then somehow our own minds must have the ability to cure our illnesses. A very simple yet possibly life-changing idea. The problem is finding a way of using the placebo effect for ourselves!The book quotes many instances of remarkable placebo cures. I haven't finished the book yet, but the ideas I've read so far are intriguing. I don't think you can argue with Joe Dispenza's basic idea. There is so much proof that placebos do bring about remarkable cures. Hopefully when I've finished the book I'll begin to know how to start 'tuning in' to my own mind's healing powers.

Explanations are very thorough and clear with good practical tips. However it becomes a little more esoteric as it progresses. Hence, I'm reading it for the second time

Es un libro muy bueno que enseña mucho

I got this book a week back and I have already completed more than half of it. It's a must read. And I wish I found this book earlier in life.✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨♥

The grass is suddenly greener on the other side
