Summary
Joe Dispenza, DC, 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.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Neuroscience and magic
There are been plenty of great books that take a proven scientific approach to self improvement. This is not one of them. A confusing mismash of basic neuroscience, psychology and magical thinking. The basic premise that self reflection and a concerted effort to change automatic responses can help improve us is sound, but the author then claims a whole host of other super powers ranging from curing cancer to bestowing physic powers. The book covers some genuinely useful research on neuroscience and human behaviour, but it's often warped so badly to match the authors preconceived ideas, it's hard to know what you can trust. Even well understood theories such as Evolution are painfully misrepresented, and the chapter on Quantum physics is predictably fantastical. Aside from the content, one of the worst aspects is how painfully slow the book is. It is scattered with unnecessary repetition, meaningless passages and long and unhelpful analogies. Save yourself your money, and you time and pick up Peak, Habit, Grit, Deep Work, or any of the other quality titles that can back up their claims.

The Theory Behind "The Secret"
I don't want to downplay this book by giving this review a potentially fluffy title, but I've been curious about the idea of mind over matter for some time now. I've created change in my own life through focused thinking but wanted to take things a stage further.
By learning about the neuroscience behind thought and hearing of real life examples, I now have renewed enthusiasm to see where this takes me. I've just finished this audio book and intend to listen to it all over again, to make sure I haven't missed anything during my 4 hour daily commutes to London and back.
There's just one chapter that I struggled with, that goes into the science behind each part of the brain, bit the rest of this book kept me engaged. I'm looking forward to the second time around, which I think I'll start straight away.

Slow.
Not exactly boring, but not a book I can see myself revisiting in the near future.

Life Changing
Would you consider the audio edition of Evolve Your Brain to be better than the print version?
Personally due to my learning & life style I prefer audio books as you can exercise, be on the bus or doing housework and "read a book" I also like to make notes and refer back to them on occasion.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Evolve Your Brain?
Is that I have seen direct results within a very short space of time. Firstly I came the author on You Tube - I then went on holiday and then after shopping one day thoughts I really need a good book, then next thing I was walking past a book shop and the very 1st book I saw Mind Power of the 21st Century and it says in there "nothing happens by coincidence"
Have you listened to any of Sean Runnette’s other performances? How does this one compare?
no
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Changing your mind
Any additional comments?
I have really benefited from this book and I love the neuroscience part and the best part for me was having the bonus material to refer to and really understanding what is going on from a biological point of view.

Very Disappointing
if you've ever read any other book about the brain or neuroscience, you won't learn anything new here.

Densely scientific language, short on practicality
This is a fascinating book, looking at how we can change our brain from a neurological and evolutionary perspective. There’s a lot of explanation of neurological processes, but at the end there’s little clear structure on how to change. A bit less of the textbook stuff and more on the practicality would have made this a book to return to. As it is, I don’t think I’ll ever read it again.

Complete nonsense from a self proclaimed neuroscie
Complete nonsense from a self proclaimed neuroscientist who is not a scientist at all. Stay away.
