Book Reviews of What the Bleep Do We Know!?: Discovering the Endless Possibilities for Altering Your Everyday Reality

Book Review: Way Better Than the Movie
Summary: 4 Stars

The worst part of this book is decisively the title. And maybe the format. And maybe the lack of index (I really would've appreciated this). But I suppose the lack of organization really drives home the point of the book: what you perceive really isn't what is. Frankly, the questions given and answers offered in this book (although they're really foundations for you to derive your own answers) will matter to less people than the number of people it will piss off. But it really succinctly crams in new-age concepts, quantum & mechanical physics, mechanistics & metaphysical, and standard scientific disciplines all the while making it comprehensible to the armchair philo-seeker. Sprinkled with just enough spite against both organized religion & organized science and the un-wizarding of us by modern society to get my adrenalin in a 2-step with newly-created neuronets.

"Closing the eyes and visualizing the object produce the same brain patterns as actually looking at the object," and emotions are just as closely tied to what we see as what we think is tied to what we see--when was the last time we doubted what we see? A whole big chunk about the evolution from the Newtonian model to quantum physics. A great primer for anyone that's not upset by the fact we still rely on a model that was disproved 400 years ago (but then again, I also agree with Buddhism's allocation of two truths: real & conventional, both of equal importance, so I'm not too upset).

The climax of the book (and climax is relative because this reads more like a fun textbook than a novel) is the application of quantum physics to consciousness. The reason why there's such a passionate (you might say cult) lay following of quantum physics is because it's not reductionist. It aims to find a simplified theory uniting all of reality, but is intrinsically probabilistic. Probability implies free will, at least in the collapse of that initial probability, so that obviously appeals to folks. At the same time, it also implicitly makes room for an intelligent consciousness that cannot be measured & removes much basis for division between science & religion.

Unlike other new-agey books, this book really throws down the gauntlet with scientific experiments done with intent of demonstrating the old saying "mind over matter." Random event generators, intention imprinting electron devices, testing physiological response of one person when stimulating someone else in another room all come out of the woodworks to add muscle to bravado.

Most people give spiritual books a bad rap & pull out the "c" word (cult) on contact, but none of the ideas offered by spirituality books I've read exclude anyone, whereas I know plenty of organized religions that do. They open the mind to questioning & expansion & empower us to answer them ourselves. Mostly, this book is about creating your own reality and gives you plenty of scientific reasons to believe it's really up to you.

Summary of What the Bleep Do We Know!?: Discovering the Endless Possibilities for Altering Your Everyday Reality

Everyone is still talking about the movie What the Bleep Do We Know!? Now comes the paperback 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 readers to ask themselves Great Questions that will recreate their lives as they know them. With the help of fourteen 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 on bookshelves. More than twenty short, focused, interactive chapters take readers on a journey that will integrate the answers to these Great Questions into every aspect of their lives.
