The Science Of Manifestation: Can This Stanford Neuroscientist Convince A Skeptical Dan To Give It A Shot? | Dr. James R. Doty

Our guest today is James R. Doty, a neurosurgeon who has just written a whole book about the science of manifestation – although, as you’ll hear him admit, there’s very little ‘magic’ involved in his process. 

James R. Doty, M.D. is a Stanford neurosurgeon, neuroscientist, compassion researcher, inventor, entrepreneur, author and philanthropist. He’s the founder and director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE) at Stanford University. 

In this episode we talk about:

  • Doty’s six steps to manifest

  • His very interesting backstory

  • The art and science of intention setting and the role of our neural pathways.

  • How caring can ignite our Parasympathetic nervous system, which in turn can help us manifest better

  • Practical tips for embedding an intention into our subconscious.

  • The keys to understanding what we want vs. what we need

  • And how to ‘alert the bloodhound’ to harness the full power of your mind
