The main hypothesis of Dr. Lipton's book is that the environment that an individual encounters is more influential to their destiny than their biological genes. He supports this hypothesis by comparing humans to the cells that each and every one of us is made of. He debates that every individual cell is controlled more by the signals it receives through its cell membrane than by the genes contained in the nucleus. His metaphor involving a computer in this section draws a clear picture even for those of us with only limited biology experience. In act, all of the metaphors used in this book help to click everything into place- you can tell that Dr. Lipton has extensive experience as a teacher.
The implications of his new biology are empowering- no longer do you need to feel like the victim of biology. By changing your perception of the world, you can change your environment and relieve yourself from the constant stress that causes illness and unhappiness. We all are programmed with behaviors through nurture starting at an early age, and unlike genetics these actions can be corrected. His claims also provide a scientific backbone as to why energy healing and other non-western approaches to medicine work despite big pharma's attempt to disprove them. A little belief can go a long way.
This book is rather dense with biological principles, and at times it can be difficult to see where the points being argued by Dr. Lipton fit into the larger picture he is trying to paint. Furthermore, there is a lot of reference to quantum physics in this book, but little of it is used other than Einstein's mass-energy equivalence theorem. I would love to see a further expanded version that discusses how other parts of quantum physics would fit into this new biological view presented by Dr. Lipton.
As an electrical engineer, this book particularly intrigued me during the portions that it discussed how susceptible our cells are to electromagnetic radiation. It makes you wonder how the waves from the cell phones in our pockets, the electrical lines running through our homes, and the countless other frequencies we encounter on a day by day basis effect our overall health over time.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone with an open mind looking to bridge gaps between spirituality and science with a solid biological foundation built by a great teacher.

I had a hard time reading this book. It seemed to be more biology than belief. I enjoyed the epilogue the most.
The concepts introduced in the book were not new to me. It was like reading "The Secret by Rhonda Bryne" with a scientific twist to it.
Overall, a must read to understand how our body functions and what role the mind plays in it. Writing style is easy and witty. Thoroughly enjoyed reading the book. Thumbs up!
