Excellent book. I've got friends and family very interested in reading it. They came away with a whole new outlook about where we live. They wouldn't check out the videos online because of their prethoughts and teachings throughout their lives and seemed to taboo. Easy to just hand them the book. I've gotten some of the younger ones to read it also. Now I've got people asking me if I brought the book with me so they can show others, when I go to visit (: I have had couple of them tell me that they're buying their own copies now finally.

I highly recommend this book. Not only is it enjoyable and funny but it is also profound Truth. I had many awakening moments with this book. It really opened up my consciousness. It explains creation in tangible ways and delves into the physics and meta-physics for the interested reader but without becoming incomprehensible to the lay-man.  Enjoy waking up! :-)

I enjoyed this book very much.

It teaches you how to think and how to apply knowledge to life. It teaches you how to ask the right questions so you can gain usable knowledge and make the right decisions. It teaches you how to analyze ideas and things according to their essential characteristics and why this is important. Better, it teaches you how to decide what is right for you and how to connect your actions to your purpose in life.

That is no small feat for a book, and the author effectively walks you through the process making it clear and enjoyable. The nice thing about this book is its basic premise that right thinking not only leads to knowledge and enlightenment but also to correct action. The result is success and happiness.

I highly recommend this book.

Malcolm Gladwell did a great job explaining thin-slicing. His examples were very memorable and easy to connect with for the most part. I couldn't put this book down! I am going into education and find this book really interesting on how we can set up schema's and think so quickly. In this book I found out just how important our unconsciousness is. This book is great if you want to learn about how we have a reason for something but can't really explain it. It is also great if you are one of those people with a gut feeling and have no real reason for it. I would recommend this book to anyone. I want to read the tipping point I hope that it will be just as entertaining as blink!

I am a fan of Dr. Amen's work for many reasons. He has really opened up the science of the mind in profound ways. He is a brain researcher who attended a Christian University. His findings about the human brain will change the way we look at things like mental health, behavioral problems and as this book illustrates, even the nature of the soul/brain relationship. I don't agree with Dr. Amen on all of his conclusions (like doing brain scans on our elected officials so we can see what sort of brain problems they might have), but I have learned quite a bit from his books about the nature of how our brain health affects every part of our lives. Highly Recommended!

I very much enjoyed reading Dr. Payne's book! It has incredible insight on the brain, and especially on the brains of young people. I have never before had a better understanding on why my brain works in certain ways, or why I interact with people in the way I do. Not only is it very insightful, but the information is presented in an engaging and interesting way. I highly recommend this book to anyone who would like a better understanding of how the brain works!

This really is a very good book.  It makes a fascinating and difficult topic very accessible to the intelligent lay reader.  The author begins with "The Way We Are" in which he describes some important features of the human brain and how they make us human.  He then proceeds to describe "The Parallel and Distributed Brain" in which he gives a very good overview of the modular brain.  He covers how massively parallel and distributed the brain is and ends with the question of given all that why do we feel like we are a single unified self?  This is answered in "The Interpreter".  I thought this discussion of the left and right split was one of the best popular descriptions I've ever seen and Gazzainga does a marvelous job of explaining the left brain "Interpreter".  This part was fantastic.  At this point he brings on the ultimate "Abandoning the Concept of Free Will".  But he doesn't abandon it in quite the way one might think.  He isn't what he calls a "Hard Determinist". This part was also excellent and he really lays out the problem well.  He then takes on "The Social Mind" where he covers what deeply social creatures humans really are and what that might mean for free will in the social context.  He ends with "We Are The Law" where he brings it all together with what all this means for freedom, responsibility, and punishment.

The book was very interesting, kept me turning the pages, and I think it is an excellent introduction to the topic while still holding interest for those already versed in the topic.  Gazzangia's attempt at an answer to "Who's in Charge" may or may not succeed, but it is a worthwhile attempt and adds to the conversation.  Easily recommended.

Wow, mind blower! This book opens the doors to possibilities that the average person may not have dreamed of. I come from a moderately religious background, and my knowledge of other religions other than my own are weak; and that's the same problem with many people. What I enjoyed most is how the author starts from the beginning - we learn about his own personal background and his journey to gain new religious and spiritual knowledge. The book then takes the reader on that very same journey by starting from the earliest texts and doctrines and shows how they have transcended and transformed into the religions/beliefs they are now. We learn about Jesus in the same way by reading the actual texts from sources that predate the Bible. It is incredible and very fascinating, it is definitely worth your time.

Absolutely loved this book and the concepts taught. It could be a life changer for some to be able to control their thoughts. You can't live a positive life with a negative mind. This book tells you how to change your pattern of negative thinking to be able to have a positive outlook on life. It explains the law of cause and effect and how we reap what we sow. Great read!

Well written book, really opened my mind to some great ideas. Author has obviously tried hard to make sure that the suggestions are clearly thought through and can be applied to real world situations. Theory and practice are covered well, along with justification and reasoning making it an easy read. Well consider flow to the book too. Highly recommended read!

I just ordered this book and am so excited to read it as I know I will learn a lot.

I have seen Dr. Joe Dispenza speak, used his meditations and have read other books and find I learn easily from his work. He has a great way of explaining the complex workings of our brains and how we can improve ourselves plus it is backed by the newest science and research. This new book is the next step in learning!
