| | Description | Take Your First Step Toward True Evolution Ever wonder why you repeat the same negative thoughts in your head? Why you keep coming back for more from hurtful family members, friends, or significant others? Why you keep falling into the same detrimental habits or limiting attitudes—even when you know that they are going to make you feel bad? Dr. Joe Dispenza has spent decades studying the human mind—how it works, how it stores information, and why it perpetuates the same behavioral patterns over and over. In the acclaimed film What the Bleep Do We Know!? he began to explain how the brain evolves—by learning new skills, developing the ability to concentrate in the midst of chaos, and even healing the body and the psyche. Evolve Your Brain presents this information in depth, while helping you take control of your mind, explaining how thoughts can create chemical reactions that keep you addicted to patterns and feelings—including ones that make you unhappy. And when you know how these bad habits are created, it's possible to not only break these patterns, but also reprogram and evolve your brain, so that new, positive, and beneficial habits can take over. This is something you can start to do right now. You and only you have the power to change your mind and evolve your brain for a better life—for good. | |

 An answer to many prayers! May 22, 2007
By Nina Clock
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 healing/changing process the most important thing in your life.
Since reading Evolve Your Brain, I have come across another book called What To Say When You Talk To Yourself by Shad Helmstetter. This book is in the same vein, but it concentrates on the practical aspects of reprogramming your thoughts and feelings and spends almost no time on related scientific aspects of brain chemistry. (What To Say was written much earlier than Dr. Dispenza's book, but is unequivocally on the same page as the work of Joe Dispenza.)
I highly recommend both books - and note that after several weeks of working with each of them, I am in incredibly different and better spaces than I was.

 Beyond "I Create My Day" Mar 30, 2007
By Amy Wachspress
"Amy Wachspress"
This is the kind of book that could change your life, but it's not an easy read. If you were looking for more from Dr. Dispenza about "I Create My Day" as seen in What the Bleep, you will be disappointed with this book. If you are fascinated by how the brain works and how to use more of your brain to fulfill your potential, you will love this book. If you are looking for details about exactly how to change yourself and your life with focused intention then skip to the last 2 chapters of this 500-page lesson in brain function. This is a dense, scientific work, not as spiritual as many would like. But Dr. Dispenza finally explained a great many things I have always been curious about, including quantum physics, in a way that I could understand.

Best book since Molecules of Emotion on mind/body Jan 17, 2007
By E. Messer
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!

 Disappointed, not what I was expecting. Jul 12, 2007
By M. L. Frudd
"missybluerose"
I was very excited when I recieved this book, as I had recently seen Joe Dispenza on the "What the Bleep" movie and thought that he was a really cool person, and a real role model for people who want to put the power of intention to work in thier lives in a powerful way. I have read many books on the power of intention and the new quantum physics as it relates to conscious thought and the power to use that to create your own reality.
Well.... this book, kinda, sorta, hinted at that all the way through, but... it was basically a very, very verbose book on the anatomy and functioning of the brain. Maybe this book would be good for pre medical students.. maybe. It wasn't even that the book was too technical for people, as I already knew most of the information. It was just boring, and went on an on and didn't really relate the information to the practial stuff that we bought the book for.
I still think Joe Dispenza is an amazing guy, but just didn't give the readers what they wanted, or anything to really inspire them into really "evolving thieir brains" or changing their lives in a powerful way.

Evolve Your Brain Jul 06, 2007
By Lynnette Dancy
"seeker of the truth"
First, I think that you have to be ready for a book like this. But, if you're ready, if you've already been asking the questions about how your life is created, and why things happen to you, then this is the book to buy. I discovered Dr Dispenza in the movie "What The Bleep do we know", and he was one of the speakers that I liked the most. I watch this movie every day, and get more and more out of it each time I watch it. The first time I watched it I rushed to my computer to find out anything I could about Dr. Dispenza, and had Evolve your brain in my hands the next day. I will admit that some parts of the book I had to read over more than once, but with the intention of wanting to understand, and the desire to change my mind and my life I got through it. I began practicing what he said all during the time I read the book, and after a while, realized that it isn't so difficult once you understand how our minds really work. If you are genuinely ready to change your life, this book is a MUST READ.
Also, the moment that he mentioned Ramtha, the white book, I ordered that also. But, I had already been opened to channeling before discovering 'what the bleep'. I was also drawn to Ramtha, and wanted to know more about him. But as I said, you have to be ready to receive this information.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is sincerly ready to change their lives - which should be all of us, and would advise that they take the time to really read what Dr Dispenza is telling us. In doing so you will truly get the most out of this book and begin to change your life from just a mediocre every day experience, to manifesting the existence that our spirits came here for in the first place
