 2008-12-19 - If you are interested in getting beyond your "genetic heritage..."
As a person who has lived her life with the bone marrow deep conviction that her biology was her destiny, The Biology of Belief was shocking and wonderful. I certainly did not want to continue to live with my family's "depression inheritance," and if you don't either, please read this book.
Everyone's journey is unique, but Lipton's research did help me to finally get past my family's sad history. Perhaps it will help you also.
2008-12-19 - Interesting and more..
I just finished this book and it is interesting on so many levels. I do agree with Dr.Lipton's ideas and I think anyone can apply them to people they know well to see he is right about "belief" affecting outcomes of people's lives. I have always studied people and their situations either good or bad and this book helped put one more piece to the puzzle of what makes for a successful or not successful life. I think the chapters for parents or parents-to-be were extremely interesting and valuable. I only have one dispute there born out of personal experience. I was for my lst (unplanned) pregnancy (which my husband of 10 yrs did not want) overworked, stressed and had 1 job and also owned a company so I worked 7 days a week and was divorced after the baby was born. So,according to Dr. Lipton that child could have come into the world with all of those negative messages and not have been a happy camper after being influenced by all of that choas. But that did not happen at all--quite the opposite. He was and is an amazing person--and it surprised me that everywhere he goes people love him! The 2nd child born 10 yrs later (I was newly remarried) was the star of our world and our friends and families world as well. I felt like a celebrity mom. And child #1 was so fabulous--I really looked forward to #2. According to Dr. Lipton supposedly #2 would have benefited by such good climate all round. While carrying child #2, I was never happier in my life or in my work. It was the happiest time of my life. But that 2nd child was born with medical problems, learning problems, speech problems, Add,LD,and his life for a long time was very unhappy. The lst child had one of those lives people envy and he was loved by all and still is today.I thought I was the greatest parent alive! Unfortunately, #2 had the opposite life and was not liked by many adults or his peers. It was a tough road to bear for this kid for many yrs and hard for us as his parents. So, while I agree with 99% of Dr. Lipton's book--I cannot agree with the chapter on fetus development outcome linked with their parent's attitude,etc. during pregnancy. I do agree that babies are very aware in the womb but I had two distinct opposite experiences that dispute his proposed outcome for those children. Both of my children's outcome--developed the opposite of their in utero climate.

I was attracted to this book by the title. However, I find the book too technical too really understand the message the author is intending. For me, a lot of the words I do not know how to pronounce and do not know what they mean and this prevents me from understanding the message of the book. Anyone with a background similar to the author will no doubt totally enjoy the book.
 2008-12-13 - Great insight and ideas, lacks a close
Very compelling ideas and some really thought provoking science.
No methods at the end and a little too sure of the meaning for me. But, I will take much from this book.
I am left wanting something more in identifying underlying beliefs (follow your feelings at times is the best advice I have gotten for that) and how to construct better ones. BeliefWorks by Ray Dodd helped a bit with that.
2008-12-12 - The Biology of Belief
While well intended, this book was recommended to me by my alternative medicine Doctor. He overestimated my intelectual capacity! It is much too deep for my though processes. I can, however, see how some very deep thinkers could find this book deeply stimulating and challenging to the status quo thinking of the medical world was well as other sciences.
My warning, don't buy unless you are a deep thinker who enjoys esoteric writings.
