The Biology of Belief: Unleashing the Power of Consciousness, Matter, & Miracles Paperback – January 1, 2008

4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars 530 ratings

With more than 100,000 copies sold of his self-published book, The Biology of Belief, Bruce Lipton teams up with Hay House to bring his message to an even wider audience. This book is a groundbreaking work in the field of new biology, and it will forever change how you think about thinking. Through the research of Dr. Lipton and other leading-edge scientists, stunning new discoveries have been made about the interaction between your mind and body and the processes by which cells receive information. It shows that genes and DNA do not control our biology, that instead DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating from our thoughts. Using simple language, illustrations, humor, and everyday examples, he demonstrates how the new science of Epigenetics is revolutionizing our understanding of the link between mind and matter and the profound effects it has on our personal lives and the collective life of our species.

I have a feeling this book is going to be awesome. One thing I wanted to point out is ...
I just received this, so I haven't read it yet- but I have read enough reviews and also listened to samples of his audio books. I have a feeling this book is going to be awesome. A nice thing I wanted to point out is that I like the size of the book (when holding). I also like the font size, the paper quality and how white the pages are (the contrast of black and white makes it easier to read). I look forward to diving into this book and reading more of his work :)Once I finish reading the book, I will come back and leave my comments on the content.
Thank you for your feedback

On one hand I have tried to find serious critique for Lipton's ideas and facts. But even if there are some people who say that someone is wrong - what it changes?

Bruce Lipton with this book revitalized my old curiosity for biology and life of cells. Some ideas are just outstanding - genes are just blueprints, while membrane is a brain, and constant communication with environment and each other shape our life.

I really like the idea that evolution may be guided not only by struggle but cooperation too. I was shocked to know that genes can be passed without reproduction mechanisms.

For a moment I think this book is worth reading for all the inspiration it gives. But beware PSYCH-K BS in the end is awkward, and I don't agree with spiritual and quantum physics based stuff.

I really enjoyed reading this book, it gave me enough food for thoughts and ideas to believe and try.

I was fortunate to take a one day seminar with Dr. Bruise Lipton as the speaker. What he showed, in slide form, was basically his book, the Biology of Belief....

Just like the book, his lecture was a fascinating mixture of wit, brilliance, and facts to make people's brains s t r e a c h. A great read if you want to know what a man came up with from literally being intimate with "the cell" for 20 years and coming up with the concept (very quantum theory ish) that the cells --even when separated-- knew exactly what the other cells were feeling... think about it and much more with this great read. I'm an Int'l Certified BodyTalk Instructor and this book is a must read for my students of the BodyTalk System for growth and understanding.

We are living in truly amazing times. The once separate topics of science and the esoteric are beginning to merge because of scientific developments in Quantum Physics and other sciences.

This book, (The biology of belief: unleashing the power of consciousness matter & miracles by Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D.), which I purchased on Amazon, explores human consciousness as it relates to biological factors. What I found interesting reading this book was how the author’s intellectual development from being a pure scientific minded individual to a scientist who now believes in the mystical and esoteric to some degree.

As someone who traveled the same intellectual road and was once believer in God, and turned agnostic, and then atheist, and back to agnostic and finally back somewhat religious, because the science of Quantum physics has forced me to look at the world differently.

This very thought provoking book is organized into seven chapters and an epilogue covering the following material: Lessons from the Petri Dish: In praise of small cells and smart students, it’s the environment s, stupid, the magical membrane, the new physics: Planting both feet firmly on thin air, biology and belief, growth and protection, consciousness parenting: Parents as genetic engineers and spirit and science.

If you are seeking a book that clearly explains the science of biology and how the author’s own research has made him reevaluate the whole relationship between science, faith and consciousness you may want to check out this volume.
Rating: 4 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Tactical Principles of the most effective Combative Systems).

This book is very scientific. It reminded me of all I learned in high school and college about cells - which has changed alot! If you believe that positive thinking has an impact on your life this book will tell you why it does. If you don't believe it then this book will tell you that it doesn't matter if you believe it or not - because it's in your cells. I absolutely devoured this book and now am going back and re-reading some it a little slower - I think Bruce Lipton is a pioneer in cell biology. It's a wonderful book that contains tons of information about cells, cell parts and their functions and what that ultimately has to do with our individual and collective lives. You should read it.

Dr Bruce Lipton is an absolute master in his field and his devotion to helping humanity better their lives is something that we cannot dismiss. His message is clear and easy to comprehend and I thank him so much because had I not discovered Dr Bruce Lipton, I could never have changed the course of my life. Because of his remarkable content, he inspired me to write my books  The Poison of Self and  A Story of Love - The Power of Stepping Into Your Vulnerability - both books are driven by my interpretation of the teachings from Dr.Bruce Lipton and the power of understanding who we are at a cellular level. If your life is in turmoil, by understanding your biology, you couldnt be the same person ever again.

It's an awesome experience to go through this book. This is a hard-core science book without any hyperbolic mention of spirituality. It has been a life changing experience for me. I always had a feeling that to excel in any field you ougth to have a very firm belief on something. The sages have beliefs in God; you or I may have belief in something else; and it is this unflinching belief that provides us with the required amunition to combat any challenge in our lives. This belief provides us the extra courage which helps us pass the seemingly insurmountable mountain in our lives. This book only vindicated this thought of mine. It is not for easy readers. This is a tough book to digest - I read it twice to get the true essence. Just go for it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spirit and Science
Reviewed in Canada on February 23, 2016
A well founded scientific dissertation which leads to thought-provoking conclusions. On a biological basis, Dr. Lipton breaks away from the fundamental Darwinian theory that evolution is based on the struggle for survival. On the contrary it's based on collaboration, and the sooner we'll understand this the better, because, as it is, we are heading towards selfdestruction. - - The new ideas that Dr. Lipton brings forward are so many that it is impossible to give a full account of them. To mention a few, while expanding on the new science of epigenetic, the writer shows how we are not condamned by our genetic inheritance. We can fight against it even in the realm of illnesses and acquire control of our physiological and psychological behaviour. - - We are much more influenced by the environment to which we adjust through a "cell's awareness" - - Most of our character and behaviour is determined by our subconscious already in the first years, or even months of our life - and even from the time we are in the womb.. We are passively impressed by what we perceive from our physical and social environment. It remains only 5% of conscious decisions with which freely intervene on our behaviour, changing the pre-existing tendencies.
Science, mainly quantum physics and biology, leads dr. Lipton to very interesting spiritual insights; and he comes to the conclusion that we are "one thing with a bigger Universe/God". "We all represent ... a small part of God."
It's impossible to make justice to this booki in a few words. Although deep, it is clearly written and very enjoyable.

Fantastic how the author describes what has never been told before and what is necessary that we all consider and know. We are all interconnected. The description of what this means is wondersome. As this book is available in many languages, everybody should have access to it.
