#191 This week, my wonderful guest is Dr. David Hamilton. David
is a writer, speaker, columnist, and scientist. Our conversation
today revolves around David’s newest book, Why Woo-Woo Works. In
his book, David provides scientific explanations to all the “woo
woo” things we encounter in our lives. His goal with the book is to
not only help practitioners of anything woo woo to have more faith
in themselves, but to also educate sceptics and help them
understand these things. We talk about the definition of woo woo,
how crystals actually work, the placebo effect, and how our
perception and way of thinking actually affects our reality.
If you’re someone who may be feeling stuck in their current
trajectory and wish to lead more from the heart, then this is
definitely the episode for you.
"The world that you experience, is consistent with your
thinking and what you believe. It's not that you're actually
physically changing things, but you're literally flicking to a
world that's entirely consistent with what you've just
thought.”
About David: David Hamilton is a writer,
columnist, speaker & kindness scientist. After completing his PhD
in organic chemistry, he worked in R&D in the pharmaceutical

would improve because they believed a placebo was a real drug, he
left the industry to write books and educate people in how they can
harness their mind and emotions to improve their mental and
physical health.
