Mind Magic

The Neuroscience of Manifestation and How It Changes Everything

De: James R. Doty MD

Narrado por: James R. Doty MD

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.

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.

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.

Thanks!

Very glad to learn science behind this phenomenon. Will read more from him as soon as possible.

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.

The thoroughness

it is a good study and I look forward to continuing using the suggested techniques.

Love this book

The hard work is already paying off, I am excited to see how far this takes me in my journey or life!

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.

Hard to follow.

The narrator was hard to follow. His voice was somewhat monotone and pauses were sometimes not at the right time. Should have been read by a professional reader. Content was great, but I had to really concentrate and sometimes rewind.
