Disclaimer: I received an eARC from netgalley.com. However, there was so much good in this book that I went out and got my own copy so i could add notes.

This book took me almost 6 months to read. For someone who goes through books in a day, that's rather impressive. Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself is one those books that has the power to change your life on a deep level. At it's core, Breaking the Habit is a seven step meditation process that can help you change yourself so that what you want in your reality matches inside your body. However, 2/3rds of the book has to provide so much neuroscience and background information that the power this book has gets lost.

Dispenza's work seems solid, which is why I think he front-loads the science up front. Once you get past the slow chapters that remind myself of BioChemisty classes, the chapters that outline the meditation show you the power that this book contains. Dispenza even gives you the full meditation scripts in the Appendices and breaks the meditations down in four one-week chunks so that you know the changes can take affect.

I wish i could say that this book is for everyone. It was meant for everyone, and I do believe that. But if this book takes forever to read, then the power behind what it encourages people to learn does get implemented. This book requires a deep commitment and the desire to work at change. If you want a change that takes hold and stays in place, then this is a program for you.
