Book review by Corey
Becoming Supernatural
Becoming Supernatural is about the idea that changing your thoughts, emotions, and habits can change the way you experience your life. Joe Dispenza mixes meditation, neuroscience, personal stories, and more spiritual ideas to explain how people can break old patterns and create a different mental and emotional state.
The book can be interesting because it tries to connect science with meditation and personal transformation, but it also makes some big claims that not every reader will be comfortable with. The strongest parts are the sections about awareness, habits, and how your mind can keep repeating the same patterns, while the more supernatural ideas may depend a lot on what you already believe.
The Goods
- Interesting ideas about changing mental patterns
- Strong focus on meditation and awareness
- Encourages people to question old habits
- Some useful mindset exercises
- Easy to find ideas worth thinking about
The Bads
- Makes some very big scientific claims
- Can be repetitive
- The science and spirituality sometimes blur together
- Some examples feel hard to verify
- Not every reader will connect with the supernatural side
My Recommendation
This is a good fit for readers who enjoy meditation, self-development, and books that mix science with spirituality. The ideas about breaking old habits and becoming more aware of your thoughts can be useful even if you do not agree with every claim in the book. It works best if you are open-minded about the more spiritual side, because some of the scientific explanations are much more debatable than the practical advice. If you like books that make you think differently about your mind, habits, and personal change, there is still a lot here to explore.
