Summary
Is it possible to heal by thought alone—without drugs or surgery？ The truth is that it happens more often than you might expect。 In You Are the Placebo， Dr。 Joe Dispenza shares numerous documented cases of those who reversed cancer， heart disease， depression， crippling arthritis， and even the tremors of Parkinson’s disease by believing in a placebo。 Similarly， Dr。 Joe tells of how others have gotten sick and even died the victims of a hex or voodoo curse—or after being misdiagnosed with a fatal illness。 Belief can be so strong that pharmaceutical companies use double- and triple-blind randomized studies to try to exclude the power of the mind over the body when evaluating new drugs。 Dr。 Joe does more than simply explore the history and the physiology of the placebo effect。 He asks the question: “Is it possible to teach the principles of the placebo， and without relying on any external substance， produce the same internal changes in a person’s health and ultimately in his or her life？” Then he shares scientific evidence （including color brain scans） of amazing healings from his workshops， in which participants learn his model of personal transformation， based on practical applications of the so-called placebo effect。 The book ends with a “how-to” meditation for changing beliefs and perceptions that hold us back—the first step in healing。 You Are the Placebo combines the latest research in neuroscience， biology， psychology， hypnosis， behavioral conditioning， and quantum physics to demystify the workings of the placebo effect 。 。 。 and show how the seemingly impossible can become possible。

Dr。 Dispenza’s books are so actionable！ They help us get closer to our fullest potential。 His meditations are great too！

Great Book。 Well explained。 This is a great book。 Perfectly well explained。 I was doing the meditations from Breaking the habit of being yourself at the same time and at the end switched to the meditation this book recommends。 I had to stop several times to process the new knowledge and then continue。 But it is definitely worth it。

I love the concept of the book。 The only thing that bothers me is how repetitive it is！ It also has a a bunch of graphs and figures that in my opinion lend nothing to the content。 Overall a really good read。

I really slogged through this one。 I think I was arguing with the author sometimes in my head so it slowed me down。 What I liked: The theory that our energies and health directed through positive mantras is one part of the whole。 I liked the stories and the way the research was handled。 I thought the summary near the end that some have called the health changes "faith healing" and his recognition that it is， in a way， exactly that was a good reminder of our part in the wheel of the world。 Wha I really slogged through this one。 I think I was arguing with the author sometimes in my head so it slowed me down。 What I liked: The theory that our energies and health directed through positive mantras is one part of the whole。 I liked the stories and the way the research was handled。 I thought the summary near the end that some have called the health changes "faith healing" and his recognition that it is， in a way， exactly that was a good reminder of our part in the wheel of the world。 What was harder for me: Some of the situations （including his own） reference the time factor - which is often years。 I think this is the real part of Western medicine that gives short shrift to the medical part of the mind/body connections。 Being calm， even meditating， but in truth simply having the luxury of enough comfort （without huge thoughts to your survival of eating and having a roof over your head） to completely connect with yourself is a gift。 I am not convinced of the ability to "cure" in most cases but the fact that your biological cell make-up can be fluid and influenced is a case this book studies。 I did really enjoy the biological reference to "emergence" in how flocks of birds appear to have a leader but in fact are in synergy。 I think this concept is what I am taking from the book。 We do all make a difference and having that impact build positive loops is something to appreciate。 In that manner， our mind matters because we are constantly tuning to universal energy。 。。。more

Un libro que creo que está llamado a ser un clásico en su género， lleno de ciencia， datos experimentales irrefutables que avalan a cada momento sus afirmaciones y conclusiones。Con una convicción que cautiva， el autor demuestra con argumentos fisiológicos y empíricos el poder de la mente para sanar el cuerpo desde la propia convicción。 No se asusta ni se acompleja ante las evidencias que llegan a ser increíbles， pero con unas cifras irrefutables de lo que efectivamente ocurre y está ocurriendo co Un libro que creo que está llamado a ser un clásico en su género， lleno de ciencia， datos experimentales irrefutables que avalan a cada momento sus afirmaciones y conclusiones。Con una convicción que cautiva， el autor demuestra con argumentos fisiológicos y empíricos el poder de la mente para sanar el cuerpo desde la propia convicción。 No se asusta ni se acompleja ante las evidencias que llegan a ser increíbles， pero con unas cifras irrefutables de lo que efectivamente ocurre y está ocurriendo con muchas personas que aplican el cambio de mente para cambiar su cuerpo， sea que sean conscientes de ellos o movidos por un efecto placebo externo。 Lleva el terreno espiritual de la fe a un proceso psicofisiológico lleno de lógica y conducido por la ciencia。 。。。more

This is it。This is the book that I’m going to recommend everyone studies at least once in their life。 I completely vandalized my book because I highlighted nearly every sentence。 If you want to change your life， read this。 The human mind and body is so incredibly powerful。 Absolutely amazing。A mixture of quantum physics， human anatomy， and spirituality

This book was amazing！！！ I’ve been deep diving into all of Dr。 Dispenza’s stuff over the last few months and I am absolutely blown away。 I’ve been studying law of attraction， reality creation， and quantum physics principles for years。 That and my TM meditation practice helped me a ton to heal somewhat from some deep seeded traumas。 But I have still been struggling and the going was slow in my healing。 I have struggled a lot with getting the knowledge out of my brain and into my reality。 Dr。 Disp This book was amazing！！！ I’ve been deep diving into all of Dr。 Dispenza’s stuff over the last few months and I am absolutely blown away。 I’ve been studying law of attraction， reality creation， and quantum physics principles for years。 That and my TM meditation practice helped me a ton to heal somewhat from some deep seeded traumas。 But I have still been struggling and the going was slow in my healing。 I have struggled a lot with getting the knowledge out of my brain and into my reality。 Dr。 Dispenza has put some pieces of the puzzle together for me in a way no one else has。 The way he’s been able to study and test things out scientifically and personally to boot is so helpful。 Then he has tons of resources to help you learn and grow quickly。 The free you tube testimonials are amazing as well as the meditations I’ve purchased。 I know some people have issue with teachers charging for their services and I think that’s insanely ridiculous。 What reputable anyone of anything doesn’t charge for their products， services and knowledge？！！ Dr。 Dispenza has put in so much time， energy， study， and I’m sure money into all of this。 I’m beyond grateful。 He deserves so much more than what he’s charging。 I’ve been doing his meditations exclusively for one month now and I feel better than I ever have。 ONE MONTH！！！ I’m reading everything he’s got as well as watching his seminars online。 I’m so excited to absorb as much of this goodness as possible。 I’ve studied under so many different teachers and thus far， Dr。 Joe Dispenza is my absolute favorite。 He’s 100% a total genius and I am so thankful I found him and that he’s doing this work。 。。。more

As he's trying to use science to prove his points。 But the works he's citing have been disproven by science or he's citing them only to the measure is convenient to him。 If you care for the fact this books is waste of time。 If you want to know how disgustingly people can lie， read the book and check the works and people he's citing。 As he's trying to use science to prove his points。 But the works he's citing have been disproven by science or he's citing them only to the measure is convenient to him。 If you care for the fact this books is waste of time。 If you want to know how disgustingly people can lie， read the book and check the works and people he's citing。 。。。more

I found portions of this book to be fascinating。 I am a big believer of placebos and the mind body connection and this author went into a lot of detail and explained the science behind this concept。 Portions were a little too much science for my taste and it was perhaps longer than it needed to be but the book stuck with me for weeks after reading it。 I also found his meditations online and they were intriguing。 This book probably isn’t for everyone but if this topic is interesting to you， this I found portions of this book to be fascinating。 I am a big believer of placebos and the mind body connection and this author went into a lot of detail and explained the science behind this concept。 Portions were a little too much science for my taste and it was perhaps longer than it needed to be but the book stuck with me for weeks after reading it。 I also found his meditations online and they were intriguing。 This book probably isn’t for everyone but if this topic is interesting to you， this is a good read。 。。。more

De esos libros que te pueden cambiar la vida para bien。 Contiene concepto de neurociencia， programación del ADN y técnicas de meditación。 Muy recomendable al estás pasando por algún trastorno mental o físico。

Interesting book and it had me thinking， but not always agreeing。 The psychology of positive thinking and cognitive behavioral therapy has been proven that changing the way we think does change how we feel。 The brain doesn't differentiate between what is real and what isn't。 Like when having a nightmare the brain interprets it as a real action and the body responds as if the nightmare is an actuality。 So my take away is that I do agree that we are what we think and change is difficult。 Interesting book and it had me thinking， but not always agreeing。 The psychology of positive thinking and cognitive behavioral therapy has been proven that changing the way we think does change how we feel。 The brain doesn't differentiate between what is real and what isn't。 Like when having a nightmare the brain interprets it as a real action and the body responds as if the nightmare is an actuality。 So my take away is that I do agree that we are what we think and change is difficult。 。。。more

I had very high hopes about this book。 But it came across mostly as a sales pitch and the connection between mysticism and quantum mechanics was not very convincing。 Having said that placebo effect is real and the book provides some insights on using your own thoughts as placebo。 A better read on the same topic would be As a Man Thinketh by James Allen。

I believe in the positive effects of meditation for your mind and body。 It's also scientifically proven that our brains are not static， neither are the activities of your genes always the same。 Eating healthy and do some sport will boost your body。 But this book goes way more far than that。 It seems that if you think the right way you can almost overcome any obstacle and cure any disease。 To me this sounds more like a fairytale than science。 I believe in the positive effects of meditation for your mind and body。 It's also scientifically proven that our brains are not static， neither are the activities of your genes always the same。 Eating healthy and do some sport will boost your body。 But this book goes way more far than that。 It seems that if you think the right way you can almost overcome any obstacle and cure any disease。 To me this sounds more like a fairytale than science。 。。。more

Un libro que llegó en un momento muy importante de mi vida para recordarme las cosas que he puesto en práctica y me han cambiado desde hace 5 años de mi nacimiento y me recuerdan el mundo tan amplio que aún queda por explorar。 Me llevo muchos ejercicios para seguir practicando， expandiendo， reprogramando y creando nuestro ser。

Definitely a book I will recommend to friends from now on。 A great reminder and step by step guide to understand how our minds have the majority vote in what happens with us。 It’s gotten my appetite back in daily meditation as a bonus as well。
