About this listen

Is it possible to heal by thought alone - without drugs or surgery? The truth is that it happens more often than you might expect. In You Are the Placebo, Dr. Joe Dispenza shares numerous documented cases of those who reversed cancer, heart disease, depression, crippling arthritis, and even the tremors of Parkinson’s disease by believing in a placebo. Similarly, Dr. Joe tells of how others have gotten sick and even died the victims of a hex or voodoo curse - or after being misdiagnosed with a fatal illness. Belief can be so strong that pharmaceutical companies use double- and triple-blind randomized studies to try to exclude the power of the mind over the body when evaluating new drugs.

Dr. Joe does more than simply explore the history and the physiology of the placebo effect. He asks the question: “Is it possible to teach the principles of the placebo, and without relying on any external substance, produce the same internal changes in a person’s health and ultimately in his or her life?” Then he shares scientific evidence (including color brain scans) of amazing healings from his workshops, in which participants learn his model of personal transformation, based on practical applications of the so-called placebo effect. The book ends with a “how-to” meditation for changing beliefs and perceptions that hold us back - the first step in healing.

You Are the Placebo combines the latest research in neuroscience, biology, psychology, hypnosis, behavioral conditioning, and quantum physics to demystify the workings of the placebo effect...and show how the seemingly impossible can become possible.

Fantastic book!!!

I have been in chronic pain since a child. I was even bed bound for a time because of it. With the help of my mind and God I now walk without even a cane or walker! I have neuropathy and am slowly but surely regaining feeling in my feet! I am the placebo!

Great research

This is probably the best collection of placebo stories I’ve found, and the author creates a very compelling argument about how powerful placebo can be in all the things that it can do. This was a great read, one that I’ll read again, and one that I’ll recommend to friends.

My only complaint is that I purchased the audiobook and the meditations, which are really key to using this information are not included with the audiobook, which I think is kind of unfortunate.

This is the Newest New Age philosophy….

Even if it doesn’t cure my incurable disease, when I listened to this book it gave me hope and is a fascinating conglomeration of science and new age spirituality.

The placebo changed my life!!

I was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer last year. That 5 min diagnosis from my oncologist turned my world upside down. I spiraled with victimization and fear and could barely get out of bed for days. Then I began I journey of self love and self discovery that led me to this book. Before even reading this book I have been an experienced meditator for over a decade and was able to shrink three of my four tumors using a combination of chemo, positive thinking, holistic treatments & meditation. This book is now helping me bridge the gap from a lifetime of maintenance chemo to learning how to be my own placebo and eliminate drugs via an iv drip every three weeks for life.

This book has literally changed my life. How I think, feel, and act and I am excited to see that knowledge transfer into my life moving forward.

I’m Already on the waitlist for his for progressive workshop in 2025. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, stories and message. I have so much gratitude for your message finding me at the perfect time in this new chapter of life.

Very provocative and exciting theory!

I loved the content of this book but didn't love the narrator's voice. The impact of these theories seemed diminished by the monotony of it; he is a bit boring. Definitely a 'must listen' though!!
