About this listen

A deep exploration of the neuroscience behind manifestation, with a six-part plan for realizing your dreams

For decades the practice of manifestation has been widely dismissed as self-involved, materialistic pseudoscience. But as neuroscientist and recognized compassion leader Dr. James Doty reveals, manifestation introduces us to different possibilities, and it lays the groundwork for a kinder, better world.

Doty grounds us in the practices that change our brain structures: attention, meditation, visualization, and compassion. This mind magic allows us to move through the world in ways that help us see clearly—reclaiming our agency, realizing our dreams, and reaching out to help others along the path.

Where previous works about manifestation have focused narrowly on outward success and individual benefit, Mind Magic delivers an openhearted call to make manifestation part of a deeper contribution to healing the problems we face today.

Mind Magic reveals the power of self-agency to transform our good intentions into effective actions that will enhance your personal well-being and make our world a better place.”—Phil Zimbardo, Ph.D., New York Times bestselling author of The Lucifer Effect and founder of the Heroic Imagination Project

"In Mind Magic, noted Stanford scientist and physician James Doty shows us how to master our minds to find true fulfillment. This lucid and thought-provoking book challenges the way that you think about success, and can change your life."—Barnaby Marsh, Ph.D., Institute for Advanced Study and author of How Luck Happens: Using the Science of Luck to Transform Work, Love, and Life

"Using his own experience and solid neuroscience, Dr. Doty outlines a way for anyone, regardless of circumstance, to improve their lives and manifest their dreams.”—Werner Erhard, founder of EST & Landmark Forum

Please have someone else narrate this book

I understand the author may have been excited about narrating his own work but his voice is very monotone and boring. The content of the book is actually really good, but I cannot with his voice and intonation. Please have a professional narrator. Will be returning the audio version and getting the Kindle version unfortunately.

Interesting Book

The content was great. But it was read way too slow. I even sped it up and it didn't sound right.

Needs a professional reader

The author has an extremely distracting way of speaking where there’s a pause every 3 or 4 words and a slight “uptalk”. It was so distracting I couldn’t concentrate on the material. If you can read this with a different voice actor, do it. Otherwise skip it until you can.

Magic Review

I loved this book. It was very well written. It clearly outlined how to DO manifestation. It also explains the brain functions that make manifestation possible. The journey and transformation of Dr. Doty gave relatable context that helps the reader to grasp the concepts and therefore believe that manifestation is truly possible for themselves.

More technical than a “story”

I went in after listening to a few podcasts cast with the author and plugs for this book. The book is more technical than I expected. Not being an “expert” on the subject being scientific/technical was hard to follow. However, I have listened to several podcasts and really enjoy this author and his personal stories are relatable. The book itself was more scientific than I would have liked.

This Helped Getting Through a Tough Time in My Life

As I'm listening to this audio book, I realized this brought me comfort and helped me deal with painful feelings around the loss of my son. My feelings are legit but I don't need to be a victim of them. I can recognize them and see them pass through. This has helped me be clear on my goals and what will truly make me happy. I also realized that each day can be set with smaller goals that add up and get closer to the end goal.

Good content. Terrible narration.

I really wanted to like this book but my goodness the narration drove me crazy. It’s like there are extra commas or periods in the sentence and when he reads them it sounds choppy. It’s so hard to follow.
