Warum übernatürliche Methoden funktionieren: Die Wissenschaft hinter Meditation und alternativen Heilverfahren
Warum sollen wir meditieren? Wie können Kristalle Geist und Körper heilen? Was macht Visualisierung so kraftvoll und effektiv? Übernatürliche Methoden, alternative Heilverfahren und spirituelle Praktiken werden oft belächelt, aber ihre Ergebnisse lassen sich meist deutlich nachweisen. David R. Hamilton geht entscheidenden Aspekten nach und zeigt aktuelle wissenschaftliche Studien zu -den beliebtesten alternativen Heilmethoden -der heilenden Kraft von Gedanken, Emotionen und Glaubenssätzen -dem wohltuenden Effekt der Natur und der Heilwirkung holistischer Methoden -der faszinierenden Verknüpfung zwischen Bewusstsein und menschlicher Bindung -den Zusammenhängen zwischen unterdrückten Emotionen und Krankheiten Übernatürliche Heilmethoden haben sich bereits jahrtausendelang bewährt, aber nun gibt es endlich eine wissenschaftliche Bestätigung für ihre physische, emotionale und energetische Heilkraft. David R. Hamilton erklärt sie auf sowohl unterhaltsame als auch seriöse Weise und regt zum Nach- und Umdenken an. Darum ist es an der Zeit, zu Ja, übernatürliche Methoden funktionieren!

About the author
David R. Hamilton
22 books145 followersDavid has a first class honors degree in chemistry, specializing in biological and medicinal chemistry. He has the slightly geeky honour of having achieved 100% in his 3rd year university degree exam in ‘Statistical Mechanics’, which is a branch of quantum physics applied to chemistry.
After completing his PhD, he worked for 4 years in the pharmaceutical industry, first developing drugs for cardiovascular disease and cancer, then a year managing leadership and change projects. During this time he also served as an athletics coach and manager of Sale Harriers Manchester, one of the UK’s largest athletics clubs, leading the Junior Men’s team to three successive UK finals. Upon leaving the pharmaceutical industry, he co-founded the international relief charity Spirit Aid Foundation and served as a director for 2 years.
While writing his first book (2004-2005), he taught chemistry (main) plus ecology and mathematics (secondary) at West College Scotland (formerly, James Watt College of Further and Higher Education) and tutored chemistry at the University of Glasgow.
He’s now a bestselling author of 8 books (No’s 9 and 10 are due out in 2017) published by Hay House UK, and offer talks and workshops that use science to inspire – fusing neuroscience, the mind-body connection, kindness, and philosophical and eastern spiritual teachings. He also writes a regular blog on his website as well as occasional blogs for the Huffington Post (US edition) and Psychologies Life Labs, and is a columnist for Soul and Spirit Magazine. In 2016, David won the Kindred Spirit, ‘Best MBS Writer Award’.
He has been featured in numerous publications, including ELLE, RED Magazine, Psychologies, YOU Magazine, Good Housekeeping (both UK & US), and several newspapers.
You might wonder how he got into writing on the subjects he does. In his own words, “Well, during my time in the pharmaceutical industry, I was fascinated by the placebo effect – how people improve through believing they are receiving a drug – so I began to study mind-body interactions in my spare time. I decided to leave the pharmaceutical industry after 4 years because I wanted to educate about the mind-body connection, help people to believe in themselves more, and spread a little more kindness in the world in my own way.”

There were a few interesting things but if you are at all even remotely adjacent to New Age stuff, this is all a shallow review with some...really odd science (more on that in a sec).
He starts out quite strong by attacking the placebo effect, or rather, reframing it. If I get results for a medical condition by taking a sugar pill that is almost as good as taking the actual medication, Hamilton suggests we consider this as the power of the mind--SOMETHING is making that sugar pill effective!
For example, the book has chapters on reiki, crystals, prayer, and nature and the like, culminating in a law of attraction chapter. The author's worldview is interesting: he's not a skeptic (he discusses that skepticism can cause observer effect) but as a scientist he has a scientific mindview. This comes out in some useful ways--for example, when he says hey, if we have someone who is SUPER good at predicting some future event (or some other psi phenomenon) but most people suck at it, we act like it means that psi doesn't exist--and that's the same as saying because most of us suck at running, but Usain Bolt is amazing at it...then he, like the psi-hot-shot, somehow 'doesn't exist' in terms of science--instead of being an amazing exception of potential, it's treated as an outlier or statistical glitch. That's worth thinking about.
On the other size hand: He has a theory as well that I only partly subscribe to. He argues that people who are psi skeptics want it to be like...superhero level stuff, like Jesus instant-touch-healing miracle stuff. He argues that the standard most skeptics demand is just superhero fantasy stuff, when in 'reality' (how he sees it) psi and such have SMALL effects, but just because they're small, it doesn't mean they don't exist. Also plausible.
The issues I have with this book is the shallowness and the scientific storytelling. The first is a design error. I've read entire books about nature and forest bathing (enough to convince me that it is real) but if all I had was Hamilton's book, I'd be like...meh? Maybe? So in an attempt for breadth he sacrificed depth. Which is odd, because he block paragraphs, meaning this book has LOTS of whitespace on pages, he could have given us, you know, at least some depth to.
THe scientific storytelling is again problematic. It's a real litmus test. For example, he recounts one study where ICU patients in addition to their medical treatments, got to listen to 90 min of nature sounds and he reports it had a 'considerable effect'. Uh...how considerable? How many? What were the numbers? Similarly, he teases an interesting study to suggest that prayer for someone works if there is some emotional connection between the pray-er and the pray-ee--giving an example of a group who was given factoids and updates about the person they were praying for, and how it made a difference. Again, he glosses the difference, but also, well, the practical details of the study. Say you, the reader, were fired up by this implication and wanted to start praying for a friend of yours in the hospital--how to do it? how many times a week? how long a session? what was the methodology? One might dig up the study which he does cite, but looking at his citation it's only 3 pages long and I'm...not sure it would cover the necessaries.
It's not a bad book, for what it is--a short shallow attempt to get some credibility for these topics. He concludes in the end by combining quantum physics (in a less-dumb way than most New Agey people) by propping up the Law of Attraction, aka the white woman spirituality. LoA has adherents who will argue that if it happens in your life, you manifested it, even if it was bad--so like you caused yourself to get raped or mugged or whatever. He suggests that that's, you know, STUPID, because again, everything he's seeing says we have a measurable effect on things, but not that sort of superhuman level effect. I did appreciate that, and his argument that interpreting it as 'positive vibes only' is reductive. His theory is that LoA is not sending out vibes (like a radio transmitter) but surfing the waves. He seems to, but not quite, connect it to the idea of growth mindset--that if you are working toward a positive goal, with application (he stresses this, you can't just make a moodboard and sit back and wait for it), you see obstacles not as obstacles but challenges and opportunities. He ratchets the hysteria out of the LoA and I do appreciate him for that.
I wish he'd been more solid in his science--he definitely cherrypicks, and then doesn't really give enough detail to satisfy the unbeliever, NOR, really, to help the believer be able to take action with this new information. Still, not a bad read and his scientific perspective (about how science is not about pooh poohing but testing and tweaking and testing again) is quite refreshing.

The Surprising Science Behind Meditation, Reiki, Crystals and Other Alternative Practices
I first came across the author David R. Hamilton (a former R&D scientist who developed drugs for cardiovascular disease and cancer) in conversation with Colette Baron Reid on her podcast Inside the Wooniverse in the episode entitled “Why Woo Woo Works”.
Inspired by the placebo effect and how some people’s conditions would improve because they believed a placebo was a real drug, he left the pharmaceutical industry to pursue the subject of how the mind and emotions can can improve mental and physical health.
In addition to reducing stress, meditation can result in higher levels of the telomerase enzyme, which can slow the rate of ageing at a genetic level.
An advocate for kindness, Hamilton suggests that the opposite of stress is not calm (one of the effects of the absence of stress), but kindness. You can read some of his favourite kindness quotes here:
The Power of Imagination
In his book, Hamilton discusses the many aspects of different spiritual practices and a few alternative therapies. He shares the most recent science behind why they work.
Some of the subjects covered are Mind Over Matter, Meditation, Trapped and Released Emotions, Nature, Reiki, Crystals, How Perception Changes Your Reality, Consciousness, Telepathy, Distant Healing and Prayer,The Right Conditions and The Law of Attraction.
A few things I knew intuitively that I hadn’t seen proven by science was the power of intention (of the healer), the effect of empathy by a medical practitioner and the difference it makes to pain thresholds having plants in a (waiting) room, or in any room.
I really enjoyed the book which I ordered immediately after listening to him in the podcast, it’s an excellent summary of a few topics that are making significant improvements in the health and well-being of people, it’s very accessible to read or listen to.
“The Oxford University Press’s definition of woo-woo is ‘Unconventional beliefs regarded as having little or no scientific basis, especially those related to spirituality, mysticism, or alternative medicine. The term is believed to have been coined in the 1980’s, possibly in imitation of the wailing sound associated with ghosts and the supernatural.”

“This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.” HH the Dalai Lama
The Power of Imagination
“To a large extent, the brain doesn’t distinguish real from imaginary, and this underpins some aspects of the placebo effect. When you imagine that something is happening, it really is happening as far as your brain is concerned, and it releases the chemical substances necessary to confirm that what you’re imagining is indeed real.”

Audiobook Review
4.25/5 stars
I’m not a STEM girl. Never have been. I took as little math and science as necessary to get my humanity-leaning degrees and never looked back. So this might have seem like an odd audiobook choice for me.
Normally, I’m not too concerned about the science behind why choosing the right crystal to carry along helps my day, or understanding exactly what’s going on with my brain waves when I meditate. Still, there’s something compelling about understanding the science behind the “woo-woo”, or pseudo-science as skeptics would say. Even if it’s only to prove the skeptics wrong.
David R. Hamilton, PhD, used to be a chemical engineer, researching and testing pharmaceutical drugs. He noticed some clinical volunteers reacting positively to placebos, similarly to the medicated group, and became interested in the placebo effect, despite some naysaying from some of his colleagues. Granted, that’s an overly simplistic version of events and the potential genesis for the book, but definitely tells me that the author is someone who knows his stuff from the scientific side. Plus he has a fantastic Scottish accent, so I was more than happy to listen and learn from him for over eight hours.
The book delves deep into several “woo-woo” topics: meditation, trapped emotions causing illness, the calming benefits of nature, reiki, telepathy, the power behind visualization, and crystals to name some of them. He explains the science behind each topic and goes into detail on several scientific studies that have been done - both conclusive and not. For many of these so-called pseudosciences, the health benefits are also explained. Anyone who partakes of meditation and reiki already understands many of those health benefits, I’d imagine. However, some were new to me. For example, I’d only given passing thought to color science being behind crystal spiritual meanings/benefits and I had no idea that they could help your plants grow through influencing the electromagnetic field. I have a few ailing plants and a new purpose for some small quartz crystals now.
Whether you approach this book from a scientific or a spiritual viewpoint, or you’re somewhere in the middle, it’s truly interesting and packed with a lot of information. And did I mention the author’s accent? Seriously, I could listen to him all day.

Loved! I love learning about different healing modalities.
January 18, 2023
A beautiful scientific recount of how alternative practises that being people comfort have some scientific backing. As a scientist and a witchcraft practitioner, it was very comforting to have my worlds linked. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I think lots of others will too x

good read and super interesting topics! sciency but still engaging!
February 23, 2024
I wasn't quite sure what I was getting myself into when I picked up this book, but I was pleasantly surprised by the time I finished it. The author lists and references many MANY studies that back up his writing, which are certainly interesting to read. The basic stuff - the stuff more mainstream now than 20-30 years ago - I already knew about: meditation, the placebo effect, spending time in nature being good for a person, having a caring doctor makes a difference on how patients recover from illness or injury. This is stuff I either knew about first hand, or had talked about and read about with other people.
The more esoteric things, things that are not as mainstream as some of the other topics, can all basically boil down to: if someone believes a thing is beneficial to them, their mind and body work to make it so. And if someone believes a thing is NOT beneficial to them, then equally their mind and body works to also make it so.
I like ideas. I like his ideas of consciousness. I like that there are people interesting in testing and studying these semi-out there ideas and seeing what's what. I think the most pertinent take away from this book for me is that the movie ideas of "psychic powers" (think X-men powers, throwing people and things across the room with their mind, etc) is showy and large and is missing the point. The mind works on a more subtle footing, so the things we are looking for as evidence will also be more subtle. And interestingly, they are there (in some studies he also sites).
So? Interesting ideas and fun things to think about.

This gave me some decent language for a few things I talk about often but don't have the science background to describe. I won't say this is 100% LIKE OMG this explains EVERYTHING, but it is thought provoking and a good read for anyone who is well-grounded but also interested and/or involved with anything easily dismissed as "woo-woo." Worth the read, for sure.
February 5, 2022
I wish there was more interest, even just general interest, in alternative healing by western medicine. it would be great if both systems could work together for the good of the patient/human being instead of automatically just shutting down even the consideration of it.
cuz like, people praying for your healing and wellness, isn’t gonna kill you. and there are so many other things that could and do.
is it perfect? no, it’s not. but neither is science. so there ya go.
didn’t like: there really wasn’t anything or much that I didn’t like.
liked: the author presented studies and data, also made a point to say “I tried this out in my garden and wasn’t a double-blind study…” which I appreciated, he presented information and while most of it will never be approved by the FDA he’s giving readers the info.

This book presents some of the scientific research into the paranormal, and how you can use knowledge from that to make your life better. He covers well-accepted phenomena such as the placebo effect, visualisation, hormones, meditation, emotional tension, tricks of perception and the benefits of nature sounds and classical music for relaxation, while also touching on more controversial topics such as reiki, crystals, consciousness, telepathy, remote healing, prayer, and the famous Law of Attraction. I listened to Dr Hamilton’s thick Scottish accent narrating his text, but his lively style still couldn’t manage to make his lengthy list of research projects sound any less dull, and the audio format meant that I didn’t have access to his reference list, which would be interesting to follow up. I’m quite well-read in this field, and although I’m open-minded on it, I lean towards scepticism first, and unfortunately, he does sometimes stretch credulity a little too far. But if you’re interested in the topics presented here, he provides a good summary of what they’re about, and it might be worth your while having a look.

I like woo-woo stuff, but I am a skeptic, so I find myself wishing more of it was real. This book boils down a lot of the science (what little there is) on what works. Surprise! It’s mostly just the placebo effect. Darn. There weren’t many surprises in here—yoga and meditation are good for you! Color theory works, and so therefore, your magic crystals might sort of work. Uhh… that’s about it. But hey! It’s something! And a great reminder to start meditating again because our minds are very powerful aspects of our overall wellbeing.
August 29, 2025
Some of this I found really interesting, but I was frustrated that the author talked so much about scientific studies, and then it felt like they were referencing so many that weren't of statistical significance. There is some exploration of why that is, but it made this feel like confirmation bias with a dress on.
June 5, 2023
2.5 ⭐️ very interested in this concept but this book didn’t have much depth. it feels like dr. hamilton really struggled to find a balance between science/research and making the book accessible for anybody to read, leading to very broad explanations of biophilia, reiki, etc.
April 30, 2023
Really great supportive studies in the first half of the book but the second half didn’t have nearly the same supportive research to back it up.
June 28, 2024
This was an amazing read! Thorough and well crafted. I feel like this has become a phenomenal tool in my spirituality and in how I explain the woo woo to others!
November 14, 2023
I was pleasantly surprised by this book, mostly because - aside from the use of the term "woo-woo" in the title, it avoids the trappings of flightiness. Instead, the author dives into some scientific findings that back up theories everything from meditation and nature to crystals and reiki.
Full disclosure: I'm a huge advocate for meditation and a true believer in the power of the natural world. However, I'm more skeptical of reiki and crystals. The author explains - in layperson and scientific terms - why each of these healing modalities might, in fact, be supported by science (at least in part). It's enough to keep my mind open and not be too dismissive of things i don't fully understand.
Most interesting were chapters on Consciousness and The Law of Attraction.
I was bummed that there wasn't mention of - or even a full chapter on - Earthing/Grounding. Maybe in the follow-up.

Was promised science. Got woo woo instead. I've been bamboozled.
--
We started off so strong with the power of the mind and the placebo effect - things that the general public already has a pretty decent grasp on:
"Belief mobilizes the brain's natural resources to meet the person's expectations. That is, a belief about what's supposed to happen instructs the brain to produce what it needs to produce to deliver that result."
"To a large extent, the brain doesn't distinguish real from imaginary, and this underpins some aspects of the placebo effect."
"In one sense, our beliefs impact our lives akin to the way they impact our brain chemistry; in both cases, life - whether as circumstances or brain chemistry - meets our expectations."
--
Then we get to the section where the author definitely did what I had to do for my senior capstone and just pulled material from his last four books the night before this draft was due:
"Stress and kindness sat opposite each other: as if on a see-saw, as kindness went up, stress came down, and vice versa... both feelings can't co-exist."
"It's almost as if, if we harden our emotional heart toward others, so we harden in our physical heart. Emotional hardening seems to be mirrored in the cardiovascular system."
--
Then we all be Drake catchin' feelings:
"Studies suggest that as much as 15-25 percent of most people's average emotional state over a period of time is due to the emotions they've 'caught' from others."
On emotional contagion: "The direction in which it flows - the is, who is the sender and who is the receiver - depends on who is the stronger expresser of their emotions."
--
Then, by the time we reach the chapter on crystals, we abandon the facade of science all together:
"How a person understands the way something works shouldn't be of concern; in many circumstances, the fact that it does seem to work is more important." (suss. i thought we were here to answer the how and it kind of just feels like we never made it past the placebo effect.)
"The initial data was met with caution in the scientific community, and rightly so, as statistical aberrations can and do occur." (!!! MAN! Do you SEE! You said it yourself!!)
--
Misc.:
"The study suggests that depression can reduce color contrast, making the world seem monochrome and even flat."
"One way to slow down time as an adult is to engage in novel experiences."
--
In summary, one chapter would have been enough. Le sigh.
--
We started off so strong with the power of the mind and the placebo effect - things that the general public already has a pretty decent grasp on:
"Belief mobilizes the brain's natural resources to meet the person's expectations. That is, a belief about what's supposed to happen instructs the brain to produce what it needs to produce to deliver that result."
"To a large extent, the brain doesn't distinguish real from imaginary, and this underpins some aspects of the placebo effect."
"In one sense, our beliefs impact our lives akin to the way they impact our brain chemistry; in both cases, life - whether as circumstances or brain chemistry - meets our expectations."
--
Then we get to the section where the author definitely did what I had to do for my senior capstone and just pulled material from his last four books the night before this draft was due:
"Stress and kindness sat opposite each other: as if on a see-saw, as kindness went up, stress came down, and vice versa... both feelings can't co-exist."
"It's almost as if, if we harden our emotional heart toward others, so we harden in our physical heart. Emotional hardening seems to be mirrored in the cardiovascular system."

Dr. Hamilton sets out in this book to explain why certain beliefs and practices often dismissed as "woo-woo" might, in fact, have measurable effects. I first came across this book through a recommendation by Dr. Anna on YouTube, and while I approached it with curiosity, it quickly became a source of internal tension for me.
Full disclosure: I live in two worlds. I'm a registered nurse and a strong advocate for evidence-based science. I enjoy reading research and staying grounded in what can be tested and replicated. At the same time, I'm also formally initiated into the occult, and many teachings from my tradition appear to be given a kind of scientific validation in this book.
But rather than making me more lenient, this dual perspective raised the bar. If a book claims to bridge science and esotericism, I expect it to do so with rigor.
To its credit, the book starts off grounded. Hamilton highlights well-established research on mindfulness, meditation, and even the healing potential of empathy and compassion in healthcare—practices shown to activate the parasympathetic nervous system and support healing. These sections are thoughtful and evidence-based.
However, as the book progresses, it strays further from the scientific foundation it initially establishes. Much of the later content leans heavily on cherry-picked studies, small sample sizes, or unreplicated findings. At one point, Hamilton introduces a theoretical equation meant to explain the power of prayer. But none of the terms in the equation are actually measurable, rendering it more symbolic than scientific—and ultimately, hollow.
I personally believe in the power of prayer and the transformative impact of compassion. But I also believe these experiences belong to a different category than those science is designed to measure. Trying to force them into a scientific framework can not only misrepresent them, but also risk undermining best practices in healthcare and research.
Hamilton does acknowledge this concern, and he repeats throughout the book that alternative practices shouldn't replace evidence-based medicine. Still, I don't think he takes that caveat seriously enough, especially given how far the book goes to confirm the very biases it sets out to examine.
In the end, Why Woo-Woo Works is a well-intentioned book that offers comfort to those looking for scientific validation of spiritual practices. But for readers grounded in applied science or serious magical traditions, its selective evidence and speculative leaps may leave more questions than answers.

Nah.
Stop at the beginning of the crystals chapter and it's a good little book. Talks about the placebo effect and how it tends to be at least as effective as real effects. Meditation is scientifically sound, probably millions of studies by now demonstrating that it works. Trapped and released emotion? That's the premise of therapy, bubba. HELL yeah. Let 'er rip. Nature exposure? We know nature makes you everything that Daft Punk sang about in Harder Better Faster Stronger. We know putting down that damn phone and going outside is good for us.
Reiki? Uhhh sure, okay. Sounds plausible. Touch and positive regard are good for us, and reiki is almost both of those things.
But from crystals on it's just whispered affirmations in the dark. Yammering about crystallic resonance and PSI and consciousness - here's a rule of thumb for you, if you hear someone start speculating wildly about what consciousness is and what it means, you're dealing with a kook. Actual science knows zip about consciousness. It's one of the last big mysteries. Hamilton tries to dress it up as if he's doing something mathematical, likening his goofy meanderings about emotional gravitation representing holistic consciousness to the actual theory of relativity, but it just doesn't stand up to scrutiny because we don't and will never have a scale to measure "emotional closeness". This dingus is trying to structure an argument for the existence of magic and psionics using a currently nonexistent scale that quantifies love. How many love units represent an empirically testable level of interpersonal connectivity? How do you measure a love unit? Oxytocin content in the brain tissues? How you gonna standardize that, considering the levels of variation across individual neurochemistries, to say nothing of the fact that our best instrument for oxytocin is bloodwork?
The equation means nothing because every factor he wants to consider is entirely made up. It's not science. It's not even pseudoscience. It's word salad. And as a repeatedly professed scientist, he knows that. So is he a con man, or is it denial?
In the words of William James, who cares? The well's poison all the same. If you want to believe in magic, believe in magic, but don't pretend you believe in magic because it's scientifically sound. There's nothing wrong with having faith.

I went into this with an open mind (obviously) but also braced myself for the opinions of someone with different credentials. I expected it to be a rather biased, unsound look at the 'research' (I say it this way because there IS a lot of poor research in this area) that would leave a skeptic running even more quickly away from these practices.
What I got, however, was far different. Written by somebody with several advanced degrees in pharmacology, math, and physics, David Hamilton is an author I felt I could trust. I mean, if someone is coming from the hardcore scientific field and can objectively look at these alternative practices, then their opinions will hold more weight in my book. He quotes, interprets, and references very legitimate studies and calls out the weaknesses in others.
He presents the information in favor of this practices and explains that how they may or may not work, what we know and do not know, and how what we want to believe or are told isn't always the whole story. He's very up front when he says 'there may be some evidenced towards ____ but we're not entirely sure, and there's no evidence that _______ actually does anything'. I like how frank he is about those topics instead of 100% support of everything.
It was also reassuring to learn that, as a medical provider (who also performs reiki and teaches meditation), I'm actually doing things unintentionally to help my patients (like turning my office into a jungle with plants and water fountains). Overall great book and I highly recommend to anyone interested in these modalities and their legitimacy.

Many years ago I was having lunch with a friend. I was talking about how we are connected by consciousness. I knew I had read some studies connected to quantum physics but I was doing a really bad job of explaining. At the end, he said to me, "I just want you to fall in love with the science."
That's why I got this book. There's 15 pages of references to studies at the back of the book. Each chapter looks at an area that has been dubbed "woo woo" and looks at the studies done by acknowledged research institutes which show how these things may be possible. The author has a PhD in organic chemistry and was working for a pharmaceutical company when he became interested in the placebo effect and that led him down this area of research. More recently, he went back to study mathematics and physics to be able to more broadly be able to talk about these topics. He also creates a "consciousness equation" which completely went over my head but extrapolates from what has been discovered so far by researchers.
After reading chapter 2, I felt vindicated as to why I believed I needed so few painkillers after my 2 recent surgeries. After chapter 5, I felt vindicated in my use of complementary medicine. After chapter 9, I had the studies I was unable to articulate to my friend. And after the conclusion, where the author pleads that we accept that these phenomena are real, albeit on a small scale, and focus research as to what are the factors that enhance/create these abilities, I cheered.
So my friend, I have the science. Now you need to read the book.

As a former scientist and current humanities scholar who believes and practices many New Age methods, I picked this book up in hopes of (1) better understanding my own position (a science-minded person who engages in New Age practices) and (2) learning new ways of supporting my chosen practices to the other science-minded people in my life who look down on or ridicule such ideas.
In Why Woo-Woo Works, David R. Hamilton promises to respect various New Age practices and offer the scientific-evidence behind these alternative practices. He does that, for certain. He presents significant research for every topic discussed, from meditation to crystals to the Law of Attraction. However, sadly, while Hamilton talks about believing in these practices and presents the cutting-edge research on each topic, he continually degrades the word "woo-woo" or "mysticism." He speaks in phrases that talks about "woo-woo" and "mysticism" as fantasy practices while arguing we should believe in these things due to their scientific basis.
I would have liked to have seen a book that reclaims the words "woo-woo," "mysticism," or "New Age"; much like the modern writing on paganism has reclaimed the word "witch." Instead, Hamilton backs the ideas of woo-woo, while still using the word derogatorily. What a shame. What a missed opportunity.

I enjoyed this and found it interesting and insightful, and very 'readable'. I am in my 4th year of chronic fatigue and conventional medicine has totally failed me. Over time, I have tried various alternative therapies, but this year I have gone 'all in' on the alternative route, committing to it wholeheartedly. I talk about it as the 'woo-woo things' that I am doing, but I always wondered how / why / if they were making a difference. The title of this book jumped out at me for obvious reasons.
As a criticism, I was hoping for investigation into a wider range of alternative practices. For example, for all the talk of energy fields and connectivity, there was no mention at all of EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies (wifi etc etc)) and the impact they may have on the health of those who are sensitive to them. There was also no mention of kinesiology, gong baths or using magnets as a form of healing (yet a lot of talk about magnetic fields).
On the plus side, I have reintroduced meditation to support my health, as I now understand better how it may help, and the talk of energy fields and connectivity helps me understand better how my energy practitioner is able to support me remotely. I have had reiki in the past and will consider reintroducing it (budget allowing!).

No. I read this to be fair minded, but no there isn’t anything there. The placebo effect alone tells us that there is something there but it also tells us that we have no idea what it is. Tests of the placebo effect are designed to be meaningless. Almost none of the items listed have been studied in any sort of rigorous way nor results analyzed in any way that is scientifically or statistically significant. I’ll grant you that there is a what in all this but without any verifiable how or why we may as well go out and hire a magician or pull a conspiracy theory out from under the nearest stone. We end up being like Gregor Mendel and see what we want to see.
So, when you can take out the woo-woo and assemble something real then I’m interested. And, don’t expect me to buy anything that’s been dipped in the Washington kool-aid that is becoming more spurious and tainted by the minute. I could send you my magician card but I wouldn’t want anyone believing me either even if I could curry favor or get rich. No!! Don’t go there.

For me as a practitioner in many woo woo disciplines I was excited to read this.
I did enjoy much of what I read. Basically it is all to do with the power of the mind, which I knew anyway. The author references many studies to back this up.
For a scientist I think he is brave in writing this book as he will tell you - there are many people out there that try and discredit those who believe it in something that generally brings up much skepticism among the masses.
There are parts of the book that captured my attention more than others. On the whole an interesting look (at the often misunderstood practices of mind, body and soul ) through a scientific lens.
Reiki, meditation, law of attraction, telepathy, crystals , placebo effect etc ...

7/10. The overall concept of the book was really interesting and provided fascinating perspectives on ideas such as law of attraction, time, perceptions and the placebo effect. It exploded the scientific rationale for why people experience impact they do from crystals, reiki and meditation however some of the chapters were too complex for me to completely follow and some of the research discussed felt flimsy and unconvincing. This book was a mixed bag of really important and enjoyable parts and parts I couldn’t follow or find any interest in. Really enjoyed the sections on trapped and released emotion, how perception affects your reality and law of attraction and struggled to get through those that covered consciousness, telepathy and distant healing.
Read
January 27, 2022David writes a really fascinating account of the modern-day scepticism of complementary therapies and the mind-body connection, and he addresses this skepticism with interesting, and I hope for those skeptics, illuminating, study-backed science. A very welcomed book that discusses the science of many aspects of the mind-body connection ‘under one roof,’ and David very successfully argues why a movement towards combining traditional healing techniques with western medicine is so important to the wellness and wellbeing of conscious beings - that it’s really essential to have such human potential seated alongside science.

Great title but sadly Dr David R Hamilton’s scientific explanations are anything but scientific. Having to resort to fuzzy logic, skewed reasoning and ridiculous notions in a desperate attempt to make woo-woo believable, this book fails miserably.
Chapters usually begin with building the foundations on strong, well researched scientific facts and reasoning to lull the reader into a false sense of security. Slowly paragraph by paragraph Dr Hamilton then applies skewed reasoning and extremely tenuous links to the woo. Fuzzy logic abounds as he attempts to use science to explain the woo. It’s shameful and deceitful.

I hope this author writes more books
I enjoyed listening to this book and I found it very informative. I want to give you the absolute secret to the book, but that would ruin it for you as a future reader. I really like how the author put everything together and showed beyond a shadow of a doubt that connection between humans. I believe if Dr Wayne Dyer was still alive and Louise Hay they would write a book with this author. I encourage everyone to listen to this book and read it with an open mind. It's time the pharmaceutical companies realize there's a better way to heal people!
