Wasn't me with the downvote, but just as a friendly comment, you do come off a little "if you knew more, you'd feel as I do" with this comment. Maybe, as another suggests, focus more on information and provide some links?
- tomhoward 11y agoThanks for that, I hear what you're saying and appreciate you saying it. Hopefully my followup comment adds some substance - though not links to one-off studies, as it's to broad a topic for that. For you or anyone else interested, Lipton's The Biology of Belief explains the principles very well on a cellular biology level. Tanzi's books with Deepak Chopra (Super Brain and Super Genes) are probably more of an affront to credulity given the Chopra connection, but are there for anyone who can get over that. Yes they are all pitched at the new age self-help market because that's the audience that's into this kind of stuff at the moment. Hopefully that won't be the case forever, and signs are there that attitudes are starting to change.
