You Are The Placebo by Dr. Joe Dispenza: Book Review

You Are The Placebo by Dr. Joe Dispenza is one of the most recent books that aims to help people understand the power of their minds to heal and make change within their lives. This has been a topic with tons of controversy surrounding it ever since movies such as The Secret and What The Bleep. I have spent years studying these subjects and practicing them within my own life. A lot of books out there that claim to help you manifest change within your life are really just a lot of hype and “fluff”.

You Are The Placebo — Is It Worth Buying?

Dr. Joe Dispenza has really created one of the best books on this topic that exists to date. Make sure you take the time to read my review here so that you can see if it is a book that is suitable for you to purchase.

Here is the description from the book on Amazon:

 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.

It is important to understand that the power of your thoughts does have the possibility to create vast changes within your life. With that being said, as you will read in this book, you must have the ability to believe this is true. You need a strong belief so that you can make these changes within your own life.

You Are The Placebo has plenty of case studies that will help your mind become aligned with this belief. Dr. Joe Dispenza really proves scientifically, in his studies, how your mind can alter the chemicals and feelings that spread throughout your body. He covers real life situations and events that have occurred within his workshops, as well. If you are kind of skeptic towards these ways of thinking — this book may be what you need to change your mind.

Of course, if you already believe in the power of your mind to heal, then this book takes you over the top.

Topics Covered In This Book

Most of this book covers scientific studies, history on the placebo effect, how it causes change within the body, and how you can apply it to your own life. A great chunk of this book revolves around case studies because most of us are subconsciously looking for scientific validation, due to how we are programmed while growing up. With this book you will find more than the scientific validation that you seek. I was absolutely impressed with how You Are The Placebo got me thinking.

Other topics covered include quantum physics, attitudes, beliefs, and perceptions. Dr. Joe Dispenza does a great job at covering those topics and how they relate to the placebo effect.
