Outstanding!

A life changing book

There are many self development books in the market, but few explains how self development takes place on biological level. In Evlove Your Brain Dr. Dizpenza shows the reader in very detail how it is done - how thoughts and emotions influence human body and how body influences mind. You will discover many things about yourself that you haven't been awared of.

An answer to many prayers!

I had no trouble whatsoever relating to Dr. Dispenza's descriptions of how the human brain functions. In fact, I found his no-nonsense discussions of the brain extremely refreshing and encouraging, especially in view of the fact that I was so sorely in need of obtaining a practical working model of why large-scale healing and personal change are even possible. For me, the greatest value of Dr. Dispenza's book is in gaining the practical tools to heal. To that end, what healed Dr. Dispenza's multiple vertebral fractures was his level of consciousness and his ability to think. Without prior knowledge of how to help himself, he more than likely would have gone the conventional route of treatment and ended up as a cripple. And without the Four Pillars of Healing (well-described in the text), the cases of spontaneous remission presented by other people in the book would probably not have occurred. Thus, when all is said and done, the power of thought appears to be at the core of healing. To make this book more user-friendly for myself, I outlined what were, for me, its key points: 1) Decide who/what you want to be and create an ideal picture of that in your mind. 2) Allow the frontal lobe of your brain to fulfill its functions as your guide; the frontal lobe is so skillful that the only limitation on its ability to construct these models is your own skill at envisioning the ideal of yourself. The frontal lobe allows you to transcend the slow, linear process of evolution and to advance beyond the natural progression of adaptation. 3) Regularly rehearse the new attitudes and behaviors internally and externally, including at bedtime. 4) Break your brain and body's chemical addictions to negative thinking and feelings by stopping automatic negative thinking and feeling and interrupting the flow of repetitive thoughts that occupy most of your waking moments. 5) Address your attitudes and discover what groups of thoughts that are clustered together in habitual sequence (i.e., attitudes) that you have to break free of. 6) Resolve to no longer revisit memories of your past and the associated attitudes that define you as a victim. 7) Stop blaming others for your problems. 8) Deny your familiar internal voice and external voices of other people. 9) Replace negative "priming" with positive priming, such as feeling appreciation and gratitude; mentally rehearsing your new role; taking breaks in routine (such as travel); changing negative perceptions to positive perceptions). 10) Break away from customary routines. 11) Get feedback from others on how you're doing [as the "new person"]. 12) Devote every spare minute to moving into the new life. 13) Become so involved in focusing on the present moment and on your intent that you completely lose track of your body, time, and space. Nothing, then, will be real but your thoughts. 14) Seek out instruction to get to the next level. 15) Work with the Four Pillars of Healing. 16) Make the

Real Change Doesn't Come in a Pill

Whenever humans have lived on the cusp of a dramatic upheaval, they have been forced to choose whether they will cling to what has been, or embrace what is coming. The quantum paradigm shift that is beginning to rumble through human consciousness will confront us with the question of whether we want to continue as human doings, or recreate ourselves as "Quantum Beings." But, as Joe Dispenza states, "Choosing to break free of the routine of living in survival mode and creating a new self are not easy tasks. It is so much easier to live in a reactive, rather than proactive, manner. To change is to break the habit of being yourself." "Evolve Your Brain" is an encouraging guide for anyone who wants to change their life but has become discouraged by this seemingly insurmountable task. Readers who are more interested in action than theory may get bogged down by the overabundance of data included in the beginning chapters, but as Einstein pointed out, ". . .no problem can be solved with the same level of consciousness that created it." If we are to affect the workings of the mind in a positive way, we must understand the negative foundation we are working from. Dispenza demonstrates that our "thoughts" are more often the result of unconscious programmed reactions and chemical/emotional addictions than conscious choice. To change means that we must break down neurochemical circuits that we have reinforced through continuous stimulation. Dispenza offers many realistic strategies, such as mental rehearsal, that anyone willing to put forth the effort can utilize. When we know how to change the patterns we have created, and realize that effort and focus are required, we have a far greater chance to move past frustration to success. Considering Dispenza's relationship with the movie "What the Bleep Do We Know," some readers may be disappointed that the book remains so firmly rooted in brain science. We feel that this is one of the reasons the book is so valuable. While we believe that consciousness exists as part of the One Mind/Zero Point Field, the brain is our "receiver" and has the ability to interfere with our intentions and choices to a degree few of us are aware of. We cannot easily adopt the thinking needed to step into a new paradigm without first making changes at the brain level that will support the change. If we fail to make these changes, we will quickly slip back into established patterns the brain is most comfortable with, even though those patterns deny us the happiness we seek. Dispenza is not offering a quick fix, but the information he offers works.

Best book since Molecules of Emotion on mind/body

I HAVE READ this long-awaited book by Dr. Joe Dispenza and have found it to be practical and inspiring. It puts right back into our own conscious control the unfoldment of our lives and our health. It describes Dr. Joe's journey to discovery of principles which he first applied to his own life and then studied in depth to understand the scientific basis for what he was learning. He applies both spiritual understanding and new discoveries in quantum physics and molecular biology in a very understandable and readable format which can be understood by all -- I give it five stars!
