Jan Crow (former KBB employee) says: As I was browsing I ran across the book and thought what is the habit of being me? The flap describes the book as a step-by-step guide to making changes that give us (the reader) the tools to change our reality to anything we choose. Dr. Dispenza goes on to explain that we become a creature of habit by our thoughts and emotions that surface when events in our lives temporary take over. For instance, part of our working careers involves performance reviews. Ye...more

Can the average person understand and apply the principles of quantum physics to create a new reality in his or her life? A reality much more creative and fulfilling than the survival patterns most of us are operating out of?
Yes! contends Joe Dispenza in his fascinating new book “Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself”. Don’t let the words “quantum physics” scare you away. Early in his book Dispenza gives the best explanation I have read to date of what quantum principles are all about. More impor...more

This book is about how to change your way of thinking and thought patterns to create a more positive life, and make the changes we always think about but never do.
To start off with, there was a lot of discussion about quantum physics and how the mind works. This can be pretty heavy reading and I found that I had to take a lot of reading breaks to consider and work through the material. I appreciated that the book made me think about my behaviors and how to change them. I did find some parts of i...more

Only on chap 2 and am blown away. Finally quantum physics and manifestation explained in a way that resonates and shows me HOW to step into being the quantum creator that we all have access to. I just want to tell everyone about this book!
This book will blow your mind. It's full of scientific explanation on WHY and HOW the things I believed "work." Anyone that reads this book will feel empowered and excited about what they can create for their lives. I had huge realizations and light-bulb-turning-on moments repeatedly. I only would read a chapter at a time, would have to close the book, and just contemplate the magnitude of what I just read. This isn't a book that you just sit down to read cover-to-cover in one shot. There is so...more
I was interested in this book because I am a speech pathologist. I work with kids ages 0-18, so I am very interested in how the mind words and how to make positive changes in the brain. This book was very scientific. The main point of the book to me, was empowering yourself to look at your own beliefs. The book teaches people how to install hardware needed. Dr. Joe talks about how to use our three brains. He encourages individuals to keep practicing, using, and modifying "hardware". My favorite...more
I found this book utterly fascinating. So much so that I will be shopping for a physical copy of the book since I was given an electronic version to review. This is one I will be referring back to again and again. The look at quantum theory, modern neuroscience and how we can truly change our own minds was riveting. While that might sound like a tough read the author did an excellent job of keeping the topics accessible and easy to understand, readers should not be intimidated. Grab a copy and t...more

Amazing Book!
"Your attention is where your energy is. You, as a human being, have the freedom to place your awareness on anything. Wherever you put your thoughts and your awareness becomes your reality.
There is no end to this adventure. We are only limited by the questions we ask, the knowledge we embrace and our ability to keep an open mind and heart."

Part of a continuing journey, linking science to spirituality. This author gives the best lay description of quantum physics and how an individual can use its laws to change oneself. He gives examples of how others have changed their mind/behavior/reality. He also provides tools for you to work on changing yourself if you choose to.
Dispenza was the keynote speaker at a conference I went to a few years ago. I didn’t know much about him but enjoyed his lecture. Later, I had the opportunity to read Evolve Your Brain, the companion to this book.Both in person and on paper Joe Dispenza comes across as a caring and invested teacher. After my first read of EYB I was impressed enough that I went on to read it several times. Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself contains much of the scientific data found in EYB but the explanations...more

Didn't make it all the way through this one before it has to go back to the library, but I want to finish, especially since the last part of the book looks the best.
This is for me, when I pick it up again.
I'm on page 149.

This book is incredible. Dr.D brings together thinking in a scientific yet practical way to help you change the habits of being yourself. Brilliant reference book, clever man. I attended his level 1&2 training, which was well worth it.
if you are "into" this kind of stuff, it's really good. And I bought it after hearing him live at "Celebrate Your Life" a few weeks ago, so I liked what he has to say. It has already impacted my life. that's all I can say. :)
This book served as a great guide to getting behind your conscious mind and into creating the new self that you want to be. The included guided meditations for very helpful and are still useful almost a year later.
A synergy of quantum physics and spirituality, this book bears several readings. Read well along with Eben Alexander's Proof of Heaven. Dispenza ends with practical help to meditate effectively. I'm starting!
Enjoyed the first part of the book with scientific information. The self-evaluation was helpful.. The last part of the book would be helpful for someone who wasn't already familiar with meditation

I enjoyed the book. It was simple to understand and gave a lot of food for thought on how our beliefs create our individual world and how we view it. I will incorporate some of his meditation techniques into my own practice.
Fantastic book. Coming to this with a background in yoga and buddhism, this book really helped me make sense of the way the brain works, meditation and how to really make change. Highly recommend.
A good discussion of the benefits of meditation. I don't know enough of about quantum physics and neurobiology to know if his arguments hold water on that front.

I have read Evolve your brain book for the same author and i like it even it is more scientific , and i start reading the new one through Amazon and order one
Excellent read with layman logic to explain complex quantum physics and mind/body/brain interaction plus practical guidance on the "how to make changes"
Awesome book! Really changes the way you think about the relationship between your mind and your body and the inner power that we have as human beings.
nice illustration .. but lots of stuff 2 read on.. after reading 1st 150 pages(by lots of those skiping..) i get some substance then after..
This book changed my life more, perhaps more so than any other work. Dr. Dispenza helped me realize that my life is in my control.
Another way in, to the same work....also the guided meditations might help some people. I like the epigenetics stuff, we are not stuck!
I'm sorry. Try as I might, I couldn't get into this book. I found myself skipping ahead, trying to find interesting tidbits.
Very interesting and life (and brain) changing!
I combined it with guided meditations which are for sale on Dispenza's website

Very interesting. Not sure whether it's got some basis or a lot of claptrap. Either way, a very interesting read that made me think and ponder and wonder and wish.
