Makes me think about that scene in FRIENDS where they are at the hospital and Ross introduces himself as Dr Geller and Rachel corrects him because "here it actually means something". I feel like Rachel right now.
He is a chiropractor. He is not a neuroscientist, neurologist, psychologist, psychiatrist, or even someone who understands Descartian philosophy correctly. He is, however, a talented snake oil salesman.
Update 1: 1/3 of the way through: An unusual read for me, I struggled at first with the believability of the concept that we can control our experiences in life with our mind. It certainly sounds a bit mystical. But I’ve stuck with it (keeping an open mind as the author asked). Some of it is making sense. I appreciate that it’s based on science (according to the author) but my confirmation bias is finding experiences described in this book line up with what I’ve personally experienced - e.g., how imagining a situation, either one from my past or even one that has never happened, can trigger a full-on emotional response including sweaty palms and racing heart - making it easier to believe and follow. I’m still pressing on waiting for the ‘how to’ part.
Update 2: At 1/2 way through I started to get bored. Information overload but not really the information I’m looking for. I skimmed chapters 7 and 8. It seems like a huge build up to the meditation part. I’m now worried that the ‘how to’ part is going to be equally as long-winded. But, at 70% invested, I’m not prepared to give up just yet.
Update 3: At over 3/4 of the way through, I gave up. I have too much else that I want to do and read to waste any more time on this book. As much as I love the idea of being able to change myself using my mind, I respect myself and value my time too much to subject myself to this any longer. I got to the ‘How to’ section to then be told I could purchase the guided meditations from his website. Or I could record them myself from the scripts. But each meditation seems to be interrupted with having to write things down. And even though I was in the ‘How to’ section, as far as the third week of now hour-long meditations (just reading about them, not actually doing anything yet), I still had no clue what I was actually supposed to do (other than lock my pets out and sit with a straight back so I don’t fall asleep).
Final update: This book has now been deleted from my Kindle, and I have another regret to add to my life… That I wasted so much time on this book which I’ll now never get back! And that I didn’t give up sooner. I’m off to search for guided meditations on YouTube.

No es imposible cambiar la realidad
La meditación, el tomar conciencia y el darme cuenta de lo que soy ahora y que no me gusta, que me hace infeliz, no es un estado invariable. Este libro lo demuestra y explica con mucha claridad, sólo leerlo ya implica muchos pasos de cambio, ejercitar la propuesta, será mucho más potente.

This was a great read. I wrote down several quotes while finishing it. I think the lasting affects if I choose to do the lengthy meditations is where I’ll really decide what I think about the information. I did have one profound experience with one of his meditations on a day when my anxiety was feeling overwhelming. I totally shifted my state of being and I was able to go right to sleep and think differently about the triggers the next day.

Dude is totally full of shit. He also had the balls to say that Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa, and Gandhi thought the way he says you should think in this book. So apparently, this quack chiropractor is also a mind reader. This is just run-of-the-mill “manifestation” nonsense.
I do no understand the obsession with this book. So much overkill and unnecessary descriptors. Claims to be an expert in neuroscience and quantum physics but is a chiropractor??
