What the Bleep Do We Know

Discovering the Endless Possibilities for Altering Your Everyday Reality

De: William Arntz, Betsy Chase, Mark Vicente

Narrado por: Suzanne Toren

Everyone is still talking about the movie What the Bleep Do We Know!? Now comes the audio edition of the book based on the mind-boggling movie that grossed $11 million in the U.S. alone. As the movie did, this book compels listeners to ask themselves Great Questions that will recreate their lives as they know them.

With the help of 14 leading quantum physicists, scientists, and spiritual thinkers, this book guides readers on a course from the scientific to the spiritual, and from the universal to the deeply personal. Along the way, it asks such questions as: Are we seeing the world as it really is?What are thoughts made of? What is the relationship between our thoughts and our world? Are we biologically addicted to certain emotions? How can I create my day every day?

What the Bleep answers this question and others through an innovative new approach to self-help and spirituality that's far different - and more exciting - than anything else you've heard. More than 20 short, focused, interactive chapters take listeners on a journey that will integrate the answers to these Great Questions into every aspect of their lives.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Anyone considering the nature of consciousness, intelligence, reality, or attitude adjustment will find this packed with insights and lively discussion, which is surprisingly easy to access considering the weight of the matters under review." ( Midwest Book Review)

Read to me like an adult.

I pushed through as much as I could on this book but had to stop. The writing and subject are outstanding However, Suzanne Toren reads it as if she's standing in front of a class of first graders. I'll buy the printed version.

Fantastic

This book is exactly what I have been looking for. It opens your mind to see beyond what you think you are are seeing.

Some good data, plus few very odd claims (refute!)

This was a philosophy book that covered a wide range of human thought and brought them into an easily measureable framework. For a while, I thought this was going to be an odd sort of wash your brain with collective non-sense book, but then realized I was looking for fallacies in the interpretation that may not have actually been there. Either way, aside from the we-they collective load of hogwash, the rest of the book was excellent.

One problem for sure was in one example. The author implied that people's thought was the causation of some sort of electronic measurement. The supposed proof was that during a mass media event, a lot of people interpret the same information at a given time, and the people's information intake somehow changes scientific properties of reality. She mentioned some laboratory, and some electronic measurement equipment registering measures. She didn't say what was measured, and only implied that the people's thought somehow caused the measurement from some mystical brainpower of theirs. Of course, in reality, if a whole city is watching television, there will be a larger wattage drain and thus more magnetic flux from energy distribution lines, higher luminosity from televisions on average, louder volumes and decibels, and maybe some sort of odd drain on broadcast or cable amplifiers. But this book didn't say that, and tried to leave the reader thinking Mr. and Mrs. Egospam and her cronies were capable of blasting thought through some dimension of space to make people interpret his or her majestic opinions as science. This is how propaganda is designed, which is a worthless for thought, and I was amazed at the boldness of claiming tangible changes to reality based on television propaganda. I didn't really like this, but was glad to see the ludicrousness of the claims so I could logically render impossible any such perceptions.

So aside from the odd mix of social psychology and physics, the book had a lot of great information that was almost objective. Studies of abstract and concrete thought were discussed, along with religions, beliefs, and philosophies. The concepts of "I", "You", "We", "They", and such were developed with various philosophies. Some philosophies compared and contrasted inner thought with materials of the world. Human anatomy and psychology was briefly covered. These sort of ideas got me thinking about how daily habits and interactions with reality shape perceptions. This is especially true with driving reflexes where time is a concern, but such conditions can be modified through effort and concentration.

We are a part of something wonderful

What did you love best about What the Bleep Do We Know?

The movie that this book is a supplement for was absolutely great. We are all part of a Universe that is acting on behalf of our best interests.

What other book might you compare What the Bleep Do We Know to and why?

If you liked reading The Miracle Morning, Gabrielle Bernstein or Martha Beck you will like this book. If you watched Tom Shadyac's I am - then this is for you.

Wonderful

Great summary of how the latest science is merging with the most ancient religious thought. If everyone would listen to this with an open mind our world would be a better place.

Awesome

You. NEED exposure to this stuff. Don't know who you are, but I know this can help to make our world better

Not Quite What I Expected.

I remembered seeing a part of the movie awhile back and how it seemed interesting, in an after school special sort of way. It was similar to The Secret, but not was well organized. I felt sometimes like it was 3 people throwing out random opinions and platitudes. There is some good information within, once you can sift through it all. It didn't hold my attention as many books do. I actually stopped halfway and listened to an entire other book before returning.

What a great outside-the-box experience

I enjoyed the movie but was sceptical about a narrated book thinking, "How do you write a book after you've made the movie?" I was wrong to be sceptical, this was a fascinating read, ah-hmm listen.

Riveting and fascinating

What did you love best about What the Bleep Do We Know?

I love hearing this, over and over again.
I have viewed the films, What The Bleep, and
Down the Rabbit Hole.

I love to listen to this, so I can deepen my understanding
of this vast subject; Quantum Physics -- made as understandable
as possible. Many brilliant minds contribute to
this wonderful work of art.

Lacked cohesion and fluidity

I loved the movie. I thought it was brilliant. I was disappointed with the audio. So much of the movie was lost in the audiobook. The narrative was scattered and there are way too many quotes and references prompting listeners to seek out other resources for more context. For me it did not transition gracefully into a book. Makes me want to watch the movie again though!
