Biologist Bruce Lipton is one of my favorite scientists. This book is built on a moment when he was in his laboratory growing stem cells in petri dishes, when one day, he made a fascinating discovery. It is not the genes that determine the outcome of the cells but the environment.
Extrapolating that to the whole human being, the book clearly outlines that our thoughts create our health outcomes. The environment in which our cells are bathed, as explained by Dr Lipton, is our blood, the chemistry of which is determined by our emotional state, which, in turn, is controlled…

We have more agency and authority over our life experience than we ever realized. I am in total agreement with these ideas and reflect upon them in The Embodied Mind.
I very much like Lipton’s spiritual approach to cell biology which is missing in…
