Breaking The Habit of Being Yourself: How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New OneHardcover

I've always admired Joe Dispenza and this book because it combines concepts from neuroscience, psychology, and quantum physics with spiritual principles, appealing to a broad audience interested in personal transformation (like myself). I love how it offers actionable meditation practices and exercises aimed at helping change my thought patterns and behaviors, making it a hands-on guide for self-improvement. It is not 100% wholly transformative, but it is better than before I read his book. Lastly, it helps me overcome limiting beliefs, create a more fulfilling life, and change my mindset to focus on the aspect of life that matters. I recommend anyone looking to re-program their beliefs, but I love its scientific explanation! It was straightforward to understand, and I highly recommend it!

I could write my own book about the many reasons why anyone with a human brain and body - and a desire to be happy - should read this groundbreaking book. Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself is "the manual" for those who want to live a truly empowered life. Combining the fields of quantum physics, neuroscience, biology, and genetics, Dr. Joe Dispenza bridges the gap between science and spirituality as he masterfully teaches his readers how to create change and a new reality for oneself. Why is this important to understand and implement? Because by the time you reach the age of 35, Dr. Dispenza shares in his book, you've memorized your own set of behaviors, emotional reactions, and thought patterns that have become 95% of your identity, which means 95% of who you are BEING is sub-conscious and automatic! By repeating the same thoughts and actions every day after day, "we begin to hard wire our brain into very specific patterns that reflect our external world." We're most often not even aware that we've developed habits for everything. As the saying goes, we ARE creatures of habit. So, most will imagine a great vision, dream or objective, only to be sidetracked by the habits they've developed that limit their true greatness along with their beloved dream. With only 5% of us that is consciously aware, how do we become - as Dr. Dispenza points out - the divine creators we are capable of being? This book brilliantly teaches us that "the greatest habit we have to break is the habit of being ourselves." In order to change and consciously create, we have to think beyond, think greater than the environment and conditions in our lives. Shortly after reading this book I was discussing it with a successful, young woman who struggles with the hectic schedule of being a working mom. She heard the title and said, "Sounds interesting, but what if I like myself? Why would I want to change being myself?" I asked her if she ever worried about her kids or felt stressed with her overbearing schedule. "All the time." she said. "Worry, guilt, stress... doesn't that just come with the territory of motherhood and work?" Wow, I thought. I used to think that way too! That's the fallacy we've been led to believe: that worry, fear, resentment, anxiety and all those survival emotions that create chronic stress in our lives are normal. Not only are they NOT normal, they are making us - and our world - chronically ill. As a result, we are seeing breakdown in systems across the board - incoherence in our bodies, our families, communities, and our world. It's time for conscious change because the truth is, we are so much more than we know. We are multidimensional beings, powerful beyond measure, here to be conscious creators. Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself gives us leading edge science revealing the inherent power in each of us to consciously harness the mind (thoughts) and body (feelings) to change our brains, thus creating a new state of Being to affect our external world. The tools for change and the science behind them are stunning as well. The book "demystifies the mystical," teaching the use of meditation to become aware of how thoughts and emotions are functioning-- how a person can see past their mental programming, and identify as the consciousness observing the program. Meditation, we learn, is the unlearning process-- its purpose is to become aware of the old self, those aspects of our selves we want to change by going into the operating system of those subconscious programs and bringing them into our conscious awareness so that we have dominion over them. This book is a masterpiece and an evolutionary eye-opener for anyone, old, young, and in between. The science is breath-taking. Dr. Dispenza's teaching style, genius. Is there something you want for your life, for the world? Greater happiness, love, abundance, more time with loved ones, better health and self care? How about creating new, desired habits for a balanced world at peace? You have the hardware - your brain, your body, and the freedom to place your awareness on anything you want if you know how. The newest science tells us that we absolutely have the power! I recommend you embrace this book, fall in love with its knowledge, repeat what you've learned over and over, follow its four-week program for fundamental change, and get ready for a new you and new life beyond your wildest imaginings!!

Recommended by a friend as part of recovery from a breakup, hugely beneficial. Love this author/speaker, made understanding the “why of it” a lot easier and I’ve applied much of what I learned. This is a “tough” read for those not of a scientific mind, lots of nuanced science here, but invaluable knowledge in these pages. Played a big role in my healing, and several friends now own a copy based on the obvious changes it made in me for the better. Highly recommend.

This book has absolutely changed my entire way of thinking. It has shown me how to step out of doors that have been open my entire life but I didn't even realize we're open. It completely breaks down how you think and why your life is like it is today but then gives you the exact answers on how you can begin to change it, starting right away. By the time I was half way through the book I knew exactly how the rest of my life would be and what I needed to get there. The most bizarre thing is before I was even finished the tools, needed to get there, began falling in to my lap, literally. It was so obvious that I couldn't help but laugh or even cry of happiness at times from the "aha moments". Everything is aligning for me effortlessly and I say that in complete honesty. The power in this book is simply showing you that the power is in you already and waiting for you to put it to use. If you are on the fence because you have been raised to believe in God. DO NOT let that stop you. Joe Dispenza 100% believes in God and through this book he will explain to you how the power of God is in you. Remember, God is not man God is energy, that's biblical, and you are created in his image. That is the power of God.
