This 10th-anniversary edition of Bruce Lipton’s best-selling book

The Biology of Belief has been updated to bolster the book’s central premise with the latest scientific discoveries—and there have been a lot in the last decade.

The Biology of Belief is a groundbreaking work in the field of new biology. Former medical school professor and research scientist Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D., presents his experiments, and those of other leading-edge scientists, which examine in great detail the mechanisms by which cells receive and process information.

The implications of this research radically change our understanding of life, showing that genes and DNA do not control our biology; instead, DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating from our positive and negative thoughts.

This profoundly hopeful synthesis of the latest and best research in cell biology and quantum physics has been hailed as a major breakthrough, showing that our bodies can be changed as we retrain our thinking.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“I read The Biology of Belief when it first came out. It was a pioneering book and gave a much needed scientific framework for the mind/body/spirit connection. Bruce’s insights and research created the basis of the epigenetic revolution that is now laying the foundation for a consciousness-based understanding of biology. We are all indebted to him.”
— 
Deepak Chopra, M.D., F.A.C.P., co-author with Rudolph Tanzi of Super Genes: Unlock the Astonishing Power of Your DNA for Optimum Health and Well-Being

“Bruce Lipton’s book is the definitive summary of the new biology and all it implies. It is magnificent, profound beyond words, and a delight to read. It synthesizes an encyclopedia of critical new information into a brilliant yet simple package. These pages contain a genuine revolution in thought and understanding, one so radical that it can change the world.”
— 
Joseph Chilton Pearce, Ph.D., author of Magical Child and Evolution’s End

“Bruce Lipton’s delightfully written The Biology of Belief is a much-needed antidote to the ‘bottom-up’ materialism of today’s society. The idea that DNA encodes all of life’s development is being successfully employed in genetic engineering. At the same time, the shortfall of this approach is becoming evident. The Biology of Belief is a review of a quarter-century of pioneering results in Epigenetics, heralded by The Wall Street Science Journal in mid-2004 as an important new field. Its personal style makes it eminently readable and enjoyable.”
— 
Karl H. Pribram, M.D., Ph.D., (Hon. Multi), professor emeritus, Stanford University

“Dr. Lipton is a genius. His breakthrough discoveries give us tools for regaining the sovereignty over our lives. I recommend this book to anyone who is ready and willing to take full responsibility for themselves and the destiny of our planet.”
— 
LeVar Burton, actor and director

“Bruce Lipton offers new insights and understanding into the interface between biological organisms, the environment—and the influence of thought, perception, and subconscious awareness—on the expression of one’s body healing potential. Well-referenced explanations and examples make this book a refreshing ‘must read’ for the student of the biological, social, and health care sciences. Yet the clarity of the author’s presentation makes it an enjoyable read for a general audience.”
— 
Carl Cleveland III, D.C., President, Cleveland Chiropractic College

“Dr. Lipton’s revolutionary research has uncovered the missing connections between biology, psychology, and spirituality. If you want to understand the deepest mysteries of life, this is one of the most important books you will ever read.”
Dennis Perman, D.C., co-founder, The Master’s Circle

“In this paradigm-busting book, Bruce Lipton delivers a TKO to Old Biology. With a left to Darwinian dogma and a right to allopathic medicine, he breaks out of the physicalist box into enlightenment on the mind/body (belief/biology) system. Must read, much fun.”
— 
Ralph Abraham, Ph.D., professor of mathematics, University of California; author of Chaos, Gaia, Eros

“Powerful! Elegant! Simple! In a style that is as accessible as it is meaningful, Dr. Bruce Lipton offers nothing less than the long-sought–after ‘missing link’ between life and consciousness. In doing so, he answers the oldest questions and solves the deepest mysteries of our past. I have no doubt that The Biology of Belief will become a cornerstone for the science of the new millennium.”
— 
Gregg Braden, best-selling author of The God Code and The Divine Matrix

“I finished reading this book with the same sense of profound respect I have when I am with Bruce Lipton—that I have been touched by a revolutionary sense of the truth. He is both a scientist and a philosopher; a scientist in that he provides us with tools toalter cultural consciousness and a philosopher because he challenges our beliefs about the very nature of our perceived reality. He is helping us create our own futures.”
— 
Guy F. Riekeman, D.C., President, Life University and College of Chiropractic

The Biology of Belief is a milestone for evolving humanity. Dr. Bruce Lipton has provided, through his amazing research and in this inspiring book, a new, more awakened science of human growth and transformation. Instead of being limited by the genetic or biological constraints that humanity has been programmed to live by, humanity now has before it a way of unleashing its true spiritual potential with the help of simply transformed beliefs guided by ‘the gentle and loving hand of God.’ A definite must read for those dedicated to the mind/body movement and to the true essence of healing.”
— 
Dr. John F. Demartini, best-selling author of Count Your Blessings and The Breakthrough Experience

“In a world of chaos, Dr. Lipton brings clarity to mankind. His work is thought-provoking, insightful, and will hopefully lead people to ask better quality questions in their lives and to make better decisions.One of the most exciting books I have read, this is a must read.”
— 
Brian Kelly, D.C., President, New Zealand College of Chiropractic; President, Australian Spinal Research Foundation

“Finally, a compelling and easy-to-understand explanation of how your emotions regulate your genetic expression! You need to read this book to truly appreciate that you are not a victim of your genes but instead have unlimited capacity to live a life overflowing with peace, happiness, and love.”
— 
Joseph Mercola, D.O., Founder of mercola.com, the world’s most visited natural-health site

“This book is an absolute must-read if you want to know, from a scientific viewpoint, that your lifestyle is in control of your health rather than your genetics. From a scientific viewpoint, Lipton demonstrates that the mind is more powerful than drugs to regain our health. The information reveals that your health is more your responsibility than just being a victim of your genes. When I started reading this book, I could not stop until it was finished.”
— 
M. T. Morter, Jr., D.C., founder, Morter Health System; developer of the B.E.S.T. Technique

“This is a courageous and visionary book that provides solid evidence from quantum biology to dispel the myth of genetic determinism—and implicitly, victimhood. Dr. Bruce Lipton brings a solid scientific mind to not only inform but to transform and empower the reader with the realization that our beliefs create every aspect ofour personal reality. A provocative and inspiring read!”
— 
Lee Pulos, Ph.D., A.B.P.P., professor emeritus, University of British Columbia; author of Miracles and Other Realities and Beyond Hypnosis

“History will record 
The Biology of Belief as one of the most important writings of our time. Bruce Lipton has delivered the missing link between the understandings of biomedicine of the past and the essentials of energetic healing of the future. His complex insights are expressed in a readily understandable fashion with a style that welcomes the scientist and the nonscientist on an equal footing. For anyone interested in health, the well-being of the species, and the future of human life, The Biology of Belief is a must-read. The implications of the perspectives outlined have the potential to change the world as we know it. Bruce Lipton’s understandings—and his concise expression of them—are sheer genius.”

Gerard W. Clum, D.C., President, Life Chiropractic College West

5 Stars
Dr. Lipton’s Telling Us What “They” (Big Pharma, Evil Entities) Don’t Want Us to Know
This book is explained in simple terms. The examples used to teach the reader about cellular organelles and amino acids/proteins/gene functions are great!- Epigenetics is a relatively new field as opposed ro Darwinian theory- Darwin himself attributed in his book how he understated the effects of environment on genes- Many neo-Darwinists continue to cling to old beliefs about survival of the fittest and you already know what that leads to (white supremacist tropes)- Dr. Lipton elaborates eloquently why that’s false in modern science as we see Darwin’s theory was used by racist scientists and governments as a power grab and caused many wars- The idea our beliefs activate genes or our environments trigger proteins to “uncover” dormant gene’s necessary for adaptation is backed by numerous contemporary scientific studies and research all referenced in this bookDr. Lipton, you are a God send!You’re a brave soul and courageous man for standing up for your truth despite academia and science crucified your work early on.You are doing us a huge favor by having written this masterful book on epigenetics.God Bless You!

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2024
This book provides background and insight into how our beliefs influence our physical nature and circumstances. I’m not a biologist, but Dr. Lipton makes the concepts easy to understand. Additionally, I appreciate the book’s emphasis on what quantum physics is, and what it suggests about the world we live in.

The explanations cut against the traditions of mainstream biology; however, Dr. Lipton sheds light upon the breakthroughs in biology that go back to the 1960s and explains why mainstream scientists dismiss them to remain in their comfort zones.

I’m open-minded and seek the truth in understanding or our world, so for me this book is a great read that I’ve recommended to friends and colleagues.

This is an eye opening book into the biology of our bodies. Are we missing possible cures for some diseases by stopping at the surface of biology. We need to explore with passion the Quantum side of everything. This is a long read but it held my attention all the way thru. We need to look past where we want to stop looking to possibly see some mind blowing discoveries! Pickup a copy if your curiosity is peaked.
Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2014
As I read Dr. Bruce Lipton’s book The Biology of Belief, I kept asking myself why I hadn’t discovered it sooner. In fact, I wanted to have read this 2005 book way before it was written. I wanted the biology part when I took high school biology in the late ‘70s or even when I took college biology a few years later. I would have wanted to read it again before I decided to get pregnant with my first child. In fact, this is a book that I would have had on my book shelf for frequent reference, so amazing is its message.

Cell biologist and medical school professor Dr. Lipton is a crusader, putting into words what has taken him years of experience, study, and assimilation to understand himself. One Amazon reviewer, himself a physician, captures the essence of Dr. Lipton’s message when he wrote, “You can always tell the pioneers---they're the ones with arrows in their backs.”

The bone of contention? Lipton’s suggestion (based on science) that the single cell is controlled by its environment not its genetic programming and the medium which controls its environment is the brain. “The mind’s energy (or thoughts) directly influence how the physical brain controls the body’s physiology.” If beliefs are just thoughts that we’ve had over and over, then our beliefs control our biology (whether or not these beliefs are true). Our thoughts produce the chemicals that influence the environment, therefore, our thoughts influence our health and happiness.

What I most enjoyed: There are too many aspects of Lipton’s book to pick just one thing. For example, I was delighted to read science-based work that resonated with what I’ve believed for years. Positive thoughts have a healthy impact on our lives. Negative thoughts lead to negative feelings, increased sadness, depression, apathy, and disease. The biology was fascinating, unveiling that the membrane of the cell is the control center and not the nucleus. I love the attention he gave to universal energy and the concept that, “The universe is one indivisible, dynamic whole in which every and mater are so deeply entangled it is impossible to consider them as independent elements.” And, I appreciated his focus on conscious parenting and how important it is that parents teach their children patterns of thinking that will help them discover and grow, versus protective or critical patterns of thinking that will hinder their development and future success.

How much did I learn from reading The Biology of Belief? Well, I took 12 pages of notes while reading my Kindle version, and I plan to buy a print copy for a permanent place on my bookshelf.

With already well over 2000 Amazon reviews, what’s to add? Only this: that you can control your own physiology, and that there is a legitimate basis to question the current materialistic basis of modern biology. (And don’t let the “new-age” cover art put you off – this is a book based on REAL SCIENCE, and not on mysticism.)

This book is biological revisionism – i.e., rethinking how cells react to their environment (which you can actually control) versus merely reacting to materialistic electro-chemical influences beyond your control.

Revisionism is always controversial – from Copernicus to Einstein. For me, research into revisionist concepts always proceeds from unanswered questions – be it history, biology, or whatever is being considered. In the current instance (biology) my fundamental unanswered question (mirrored by the author at page 38) is, “how can a mere 25,000 genes (in the human genome) code all of the 120,000 different types of cells in the human body?” Seems like you’d need a separate gene for each cell type – otherwise how could one gene know which type of cell it was to develop into from among the 6 (average) different possible variants? The author attempts to answer this question by providing for the effect of environmental conditions on the development of cells.

As for the book itself, it is an easy read (for a non-bio major) with easy to grasp metaphors. The only let-down was the pitch for “PSYCH-K” as the go-to method for accessing this new-found power of the mind. Perhaps the author is unable to tell us “how to do it” because no one yet knows – as stated by Dr. David S. Moore in “The Developing Genome – An Introduction to Behavioral Epigenetics” (2017) at pg. 189, “But today, we remain very far from being able to apply information about epigenetics in a practical way.”

Suggested supplemental reads to accompany this book include: (i) “Return to Life” (Jim Tucker – read this one first); and (ii) “Morphic Resonance” (Rupert Sheldrake – read this one last). By then you will have discovered the rabbit hole – i.e. “how could all of this biological development proceeded in the absence of some intangible “field”? (“Return to Life” opens the door to unexplainable things in general – puts you in a frame of mind to find these intangible, but influential, “fields” at least plausible.)

Reviewed in Canada on February 25, 2023
I read a ton of nonfiction and heard about this book for a while….I ordered it, but didn’t have any expectations (due to the large number of overly “praised” fluff that’s out there). This author is an excellent writer/thinker. I’m only 1/3 through the book since I just got it, but I’m loving every page. This author has a clever way of presenting his ideas, simplifying complex concepts/systems, and then supporting evidence using a cross-disciplinary approach. I haven’t finished reading yet, but enjoying so far and recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Empowering Insights into the Mind-Body Connection: A Review of 'The Biology of Belief'"
Reviewed in India on April 18, 2024
The Biology of Belief" by Dr. Bruce Lipton is a groundbreaking exploration into the relationship between mind, body, and belief. Lipton challenges the conventional belief that our genes determine our biological destiny, proposing instead that our perceptions and beliefs are powerful influencers of our health and well-being. Drawing on his extensive research in cell biology, he presents a compelling argument for the role of consciousness in shaping our physiology and even our genetic expression.

What makes this book truly transformative is its empowering message that we have the ability to change our beliefs and, consequently, our lives. Lipton provides readers with practical tools and techniques to reprogram their subconscious mind and create positive change. His insights into the power of positive thinking, mindfulness, and the mind-body connection offer a refreshing and empowering perspective on health and healing.

"The Biology of Belief" is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the profound impact of belief systems on our health, happiness, and overall quality of life. It is a revolutionary guide that empowers readers to take control of their own health and well-being through the transformative power of belief.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great undestanding on how beliefs do control behavior and gene activity
Reviewed in Brazil on June 1, 2021
The book "The Biology of Belief" is one of the most important books that I read in my life, because I understood better how my body works at a cell level and the impact of the environment on cell behavior, since my birth and even my prenatal environment.

Although I cannot indeed control the environment altogether, I am able to steer my reactions or response to what happens in the environment and ultimately introduce new habits and mindset in order to be and remain healthy. In order words, I grasped the power of my identity upon the energy that drives my life.

Such awareness results from the book content clearly written with scientific arguments, facts, and data.

I thank the author very much for his contribution in sharing his knowledge and also expanding the original book for the 10th Anniversary Edition with additional and relevant information. Fantastic!
