About this item

Learn how your thoughts hold the power to transform your life from the cells up.

It has been more than 15 years since the publication of The Biology of Belief, Dr. Bruce H. Lipton’s seminal book that changed the way we think about our lives, our health, and our planet. During that time, research in the field of epigenetics has grown exponentially, and Dr. Lipton’s groundbreaking experiments have been reinforced by more than a decade of rigorous scientific study.

Now, this unabridged audio of the book explores Dr. Lipton’s experiments and those of other leading-edge scientists who have unraveled the profound connections between the mind, body, and spirit.

It is now widely recognized that genes and DNA do not control our biology. Instead, they are controlled by signals from outside the cell, including energetic messages emanating from our thoughts. This profoundly hopeful synthesis of the latest and best research in cell biology and quantum physics puts the power to create a healthy, joyous life back in our own hands.

Through simple language, humor, and real-life examples, you’ll discover how epigenetics is revolutionizing our understanding of the link between mind and matter. When we transform our conscious and subconscious thoughts, Dr. Lipton teaches, we transform our lives - and in the process, we help humanity evolve to a new level of understanding and peace.

Narrated by Jeffrey Hedquist.

Very insightful!

This book provides background and insight into how our beliefs influence our physical nature and circumstances. I’m not a biologist, but Dr. Lipton makes the concepts easy to understand. Additionally, I appreciate the book’s emphasis on what quantum physics is, and what it suggests about the world we live in.

The explanations cut against the traditions of mainstream biology; however, Dr. Lipton sheds light upon the breakthroughs in biology that go back to the 1960s and explains why mainstream scientists dismiss them to remain in their comfort zones.

I’m open-minded and seek the truth in understanding or our world, so for me this book is a great read that I’ve recommended to friends and colleagues.

Great book!

This is an eye opening book into the biology of our bodies. Are we missing possible cures for some diseases by stopping at the surface of biology. We need to explore with passion the Quantum side of everything. This is a long read but it held my attention all the way thru. We need to look past where we want to stop looking to possibly see some mind blowing discoveries! Pickup a copy if your curiosity is peaked.

An Enlightening Read Covering Science & Spirit

Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2014

As I read Dr. Bruce Lipton’s book The Biology of Belief, I kept asking myself why I hadn’t discovered it sooner. In fact, I wanted to have read this 2005 book way before it was written. I wanted the biology part when I took high school biology in the late ‘70s or even when I took college biology a few years later. I would have wanted to read it again before I decided to get pregnant with my first child. In fact, this is a book that I would have had on my book shelf for frequent reference, so amazing is its message.

Cell biologist and medical school professor Dr. Lipton is a crusader, putting into words what has taken him years of experience, study, and assimilation to understand himself. One Amazon reviewer, himself a physician, captures the essence of Dr. Lipton’s message when he wrote, “You can always tell the pioneers---they're the ones with arrows in their backs.”

The bone of contention? Lipton’s suggestion (based on science) that the single cell is controlled by its environment not its genetic programming and the medium which controls its environment is the brain. “The mind’s energy (or thoughts) directly influence how the physical brain controls the body’s physiology.” If beliefs are just thoughts that we’ve had over and over, then our beliefs control our biology (whether or not these beliefs are true). Our thoughts produce the chemicals that influence the environment, therefore, our thoughts influence our health and happiness.

What I most enjoyed: There are too many aspects of Lipton’s book to pick just one thing. For example, I was delighted to read science-based work that resonated with what I’ve believed for years. Positive thoughts have a healthy impact on our lives. Negative thoughts lead to negative feelings, increased sadness, depression, apathy, and disease. The biology was fascinating, unveiling that the membrane of the cell is the control center and not the nucleus. I love the attention he gave to universal energy and the concept that, “The universe is one indivisible, dynamic whole in which every and mater are so deeply entangled it is impossible to consider them as independent elements.” And, I appreciated his focus on conscious parenting and how important it is that parents teach their children patterns of thinking that will help them discover and grow, versus protective or critical patterns of thinking that will hinder their development and future success.

How much did I learn from reading The Biology of Belief? Well, I took 12 pages of notes while reading my Kindle version, and I plan to buy a print copy for a permanent place on my bookshelf.

High time for a new approach to biology

Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2020

With already well over 2000 Amazon reviews, what’s to add? Only this: that you can control your own physiology, and that there is a legitimate basis to question the current materialistic basis of modern biology. (And don’t let the “new-age” cover art put you off – this is a book based on REAL SCIENCE, and not on mysticism.)

This book is biological revisionism – i.e., rethinking how cells react to their environment (which you can actually control) versus merely reacting to materialistic electro-chemical influences beyond your control.

Revisionism is always controversial – from Copernicus to Einstein. For me, research into revisionist concepts always proceeds from unanswered questions – be it history, biology, or whatever is being considered. In the current instance (biology) my fundamental unanswered question (mirrored by the author at page 38) is, “how can a mere 25,000 genes (in the human genome) code all of the 120,000 different types of cells in the human body?” Seems like you’d need a separate gene for each cell type – otherwise how could one gene know which type of cell it was to develop into from among the 6 (average) different possible variants? The author attempts to answer this question by providing for the effect of environmental conditions on the development of cells.

As for the book itself, it is an easy read (for a non-bio major) with easy to grasp metaphors. The only let-down was the pitch for “PSYCH-K” as the go-to method for accessing this new-found power of the mind. Perhaps the author is unable to tell us “how to do it” because no one yet knows – as stated by Dr. David S. Moore in “The Developing Genome – An Introduction to Behavioral Epigenetics” (2017) at pg. 189, “But today, we remain very far from being able to apply information about epigenetics in a practical way.”

Suggested supplemental reads to accompany this book include: (i) “Return to Life” (Jim Tucker – read this one first); and (ii) “Morphic Resonance” (Rupert Sheldrake – read this one last). By then you will have discovered the rabbit hole – i.e. “how could all of this biological development proceeded in the absence of some intangible “field”? (“Return to Life” opens the door to unexplainable things in general – puts you in a frame of mind to find these intangible, but influential, “fields” at least plausible.)

Just Great

Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2024

This book inches toward the understanding of love by science and provides fascinating insights of how the mind can alter even our biology. For the people like me, whose instincts just know deep inside that every molecule in the universe is part of this common energy called love but need to validate it with facts!

A Must Read

Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2024

As a healing facilitator with a strong science background, this book was a game changer for me. If you think your thoughts don’t affect your health and quality of life, think again. This scientist and former Harvard professor will give the proof you need to turn your life around. Simply transformational.
