Summary

Why should we meditate? How can crystals heal the mind and body? Why is visualization so powerful - and so effective? Discover the scientific evidence to answer these questions and more....

David Hamilton, PhD, has been studying the mind-body connection and the power of thought for years, finding compelling evidence of why and how alternative therapies can and do work. In his trademark warm and conversational tone, he explains the science and spirituality behind some of today's most popular alternative practices. He explores four key aspects of healing:

  • Physical: the mind-body connection and how belief affects the body
  • Emotional: how emotions are stored in your body and the link between suppressed emotions and disease
  • Energetic: how reiki and crystals can be used to heal
  • Consciousness: prayer, distant healing, and modern scientific and philosophical ideas surrounding consciousness

Why Woo-Woo Works proves why we shouldn't discount alternative therapies and healing modalities and reveals the answers that you have been looking for!

"Dr. David Hamilton is one of the leading pioneers in the field of the mind-body connection." (Dr Joe Dispenza)

I love this book

Well done David Hamilton for finding the scientific studies to back up what many of us know to be true from our own experience. Thank you for speaking up. And I love your voice and accent. I am going to listen again.

Complex concepts explained clearly

This book cleverly summaries empirical research around complimentary health practices and consciousness, highlighting key theories in very clear and digestible ways. I love that the author does not use strong speculation when explaining ‘woo woo’ phenomenon but instead harnesses existing research to critique and support his understanding. Excellent read. Highly recommend.

Yet another great audiobook by the Author.

Dr. David Hamilton is an amazing and brave scientist and researcher who speaks about topics that most modern day scientists are afraid to speak upon in case they damage their egos and credibility. Hats off to this genius and leader.

Utterly Fascinating

I don't say this lightly, I'm usually quite critical but this is THE best book I've ever read. Every single aspect is absolute perfection. You will NOT regret reading this. I feel more positive than I've ever felt in my life. Thank you David, I think you shared a little bit of your heart in this book.

Inspiring

Didn't quite know how in depth or which way this would go. Found it very inspiring. I will come back and listen again.
How did I implement a career change to go this way?
