Why should we meditate? How can crystals heal the mind and body? Why is visualization so powerful - and so effective? Discover the scientific evidence to answer these questions and more....

David Hamilton, PhD, has been studying the mind-body connection and the power of thought for years, finding compelling evidence of why and how alternative therapies can and do work. In his trademark warm and conversational tone, he explains the science and spirituality behind some of today's most popular alternative practices. He explores four key aspects of healing:

  • Physical: the mind-body connection and how belief affects the body
  • Emotional: how emotions are stored in your body and the link between suppressed emotions and disease
  • Energetic: how reiki and crystals can be used to heal
  • Consciousness: prayer, distant healing, and modern scientific and philosophical ideas surrounding consciousness

Why Woo-Woo Works proves why we shouldn't discount alternative therapies and healing modalities and reveals the answers that you have been looking for!

"Dr. David Hamilton is one of the leading pioneers in the field of the mind-body connection." (Dr Joe Dispenza)

I liked the diversity of this book. it addressed many different aspects of energetically & spiritual beliefs & concepts

The clear way each subject was explained really brought the understanding of that subject to clarity

I wish there was more interest, even just general interest, in alternative healing by western medicine. it would be great if both systems could work together for the good of the patient/human being instead of automatically just shutting down even the consideration of it.
cuz like, people praying for your healing and wellness, isn’t gonna kill you. and there are so many other things that could and do.
is it perfect? no, it’s not. but neither is science. so there ya go.
didn’t like: there really wasn’t anything or much that I didn’t like.
liked: the author presented studies and data, also made a point to say “I tried this out in my garden and wasn’t a double-blind study…” which I appreciated, he presented information and while most of it will never be approved by the FDA he’s giving readers the info.

maybe add some whoo-whoo to your life

I enjoyed every chapter of this audiobook, author has found a subtle way to explain it all si that even a sceptic and scientist like myself would accept that there is a possibility that we can influence our lives via our conscioussness.

Beautiful merge of science and spirituality

I loved listening to the science behind the Woo Woo stuff. David has a way of really getting into the studies and he isn’t just speaking from nothing, but actual experiments.

Loved Listening

An accessible and interesting overview of various “woo-woo” practices and the science behind them. I’m planning to buy physical copies for some family & friends. Although I loved having the audio version myself!!

A much-needed book!

This book reflects a deeper and simpler understanding of the underlying nature of many practices and beliefs. Moreover is based on a meaningful scientific perspective while having a human touch. As a psychologist and Reiki practitioner who continuously studies for better understanding of neuroscience, I consider it a very useful tool for my practice.
Thanks 🙏🏽for believing in you Dr. Hamilton and for sharing your experience with the world 🌎

First of all, I love that Dr. Hamilton read the book himself. He did such a lovely job. It was a pleasure to listen to, I also enjoyed his accent. :) The content in the book is absolutely wonderful as someone who has studied about and or practice many of the things discussed in the book, I can say I truly love how he dives deep into them and blends the metaphysical topics that are often taboo with scientific research. Definitely recommend.

Loved it!!! Amazing Read with so much information

First, I loved the accent.

Second, I appreciate the scientific approach to woo-woo subjects as many, many people in my life have begun to talk to me about subjects tackled in this book.

In contrast, I am more scientific. I want proof. I want math (to a certain extent). I want to understand, not just believe because it sounds nice.

Dr. Hamilton provided the bridge I needed to understand the language of my friends so I incorporate these things more fully in my own life if I choose without feeling quite so gullible or silly.

Thanks, Dr. Hamilton.
