Why Woo-Woo Works: The Surprising Science Behind Meditation, Reiki, Crystals, and Other Alternative Practices Free Audiobook Download by David R. Hamilton, Ph.D.

Podcasts, blogs, and articles that share the wonder of alternative practices like meditation, reiki, crystals, woo-woo.

When we're faced with a life-threatening situation, such as a car accident or a medical emergency, our first instinct is to call 911. But in addition to being able to jump in a time machine and fix the situation, what if there was another way?

According to David R. Hamilton, Ph.D., a practicing biologist with a Ph.D. from Harvard University, woo-woo works because it taps into our innate spiritual nature, which is always present but largely ignored. The author explores the supporting scientific research about how meditation and other practices such as using crystals can affect our health and well-being.

From the authors of "The Book of Alternative Medicine," this book looks at alternative health practices from a scientific perspective. It covers everything from yoga and meditation to reiki and crystals. While each practice has its own science, Hamilton does an excellent job of presenting a rational case for why we should take into account our intuitions and best instincts when asking whether these kinds of practices are right for us.

We often hear the term 'woo-woo' tossed around in conversation. It's a term that can create confusion and internal conflict in people, but the author of this audiobook, David R. Hamilton, Ph.D., offers an extensive exploration of the science behind alternative practices such as meditation and reiki. He explains how these practices improve our health, wellness and sense of well-being.

Many people who practice "alternative" healing methods such as meditation, reiki, and crystals would argue that they are not woo-woo because no scientific studies support their claims. But author David R. Hamilton argues that people who see themselves as skeptics can often be won over with hard science. His work combines his own personal experience with rigorous research to create a compelling argument for the power of alternative treatments to relieve stress and improve health.
