Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D., stem cell biologist, pioneer in epigenetic science, and author of the bestselling books, The Biology of Belief, Spontaneous Evolution (with Steve Bhaerman) and The Honeymoon Effect.
Conventional thought attributes the character and traits of our lives to be preprogrammed in the genes. However, the revolutionary field of epigenetics reveals that perceptions and behavioral programs derived from prenatal and childhood experiences define the character of our lives, controls our health, and even regulates gene expression. Limiting and disempowering beliefs acquired during this sensitive development period seriously undermine health and sabotage an individual’s aspirations and desires.
