Mind Magic

The Neuroscience of Manifestation and How It Changes Everything

By: James R. Doty MD

Narrated by: James R. Doty MD

A deep exploration of the neuroscience behind manifestation, with a six-part plan for realizing your dreams

“Powerful and profound . . . James Doty explains how intention is manifested in the brain and offers six steps each of us can use to create the life we want.”—Arianna Huffington, author of Thrive and The Sleep Revolution, CEO of Thrive Global

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.

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.

Sustainable and relatable practices

His soothing voice, relatable stories and sustainable practices will have me referencing this book and the many parts I bookmarked. I am committed to reading his other books; what an amazing author.

Hard to get through

Good info but hard to get through via audiobook. Maybe a different narrater would have helped.

Libro muy interesante pero algo pesado de escuchar …

Es un poco pesado y monótono en el tono pero el contenido es muy bueno y las prácticas hacen sentido

A must read!

Dr. Doty’s first book “Into the magic shop” made me cry (in a really good way!:) & this is just as amazing - like an insightful and inspirational guide on how to deal with difficult thought patterns and live your best life…with compassion and care.
