See all formats and editions

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)

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic read!

I loved this book especially because it included the science and evidence behind each of the therapies. I enjoyed reading about the case studies and examples because this made it more impactful. I would have loved to hear more about some of the other therapies which were not covered...maybe that's another book? Very well written...

4.0 out of 5 stars all about woo-woo
Reviewed in Australia on 27 February 2024
there are some really interesting parts in this book as well as some parts that i did find a little dull. However it does go more into the science of why woo-woo works or the ideas of what it is and why it works.

This book was referred to me in a couple places so I decided to read. I am SO grateful that I did. It was an intriguing work that unfolded several ideas thar I hadn't considered and others that I thought were not substantiated. Was my mind blown open! Exceptional guide! Kudos to Dr. Hamilton!

I love David Hamilton and have read most of his books. He gives the science behind meditation, being kind, and how the mind can heal the body. He does it in a very understandable way and you get a sense of kindness and understanding from him. His books give practical techniques to create a more peaceful life and to heal emotionally and physically.

5.0 out of 5 stars Synchronicities indeed
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 February 2024

I really loved this book. Despite my analytical mind I've grown to be a great believer in the power of alternative approaches. And although I need less and less scientific proof on these matters, I thought the book was the perfect blend of science and spirituality. I started reading it a while ago and I think it came up as a suggestion on Amazon. I found it really interesting but for some reason stopped reading. Then recently I decided to pick it back up again and "by chance" I saw a post on social media a few days later about an event about how the mind heals the body. Finding these topics super interesting I looked up the event and found out it was one of David Hamilton's. Bought a ticket, went along. The event was brilliant and it has reminded me to keep going with my personal practices. Synchronicities or just coincidence? I know which one I choose to go with.
