My neighbor who lives above us in our condo is very noisy.We were wondering if there was something we could put on our living-room ceiling to muffle the sound.

What is the ceiling made off?
You would have to put another layer of ceiling up there with some insulation to quiet the noise.
Too bad you can't suspend cork panels from your ceiling. They are effective at mitigating sound.
Is it at all possible to have a civilized discussion with the neighbor?. Some people wholve never lived in an apt. or condo setting can be completely oblivious to sound transmission. It's akin to having a team of Clydesdales walking across your floor, or having your chandelier shake because Attila is crossing the Alps... Because you're in a condo, you should check your HOA bylaws regarding noise. You may have legal recourse, if it continues unabated.
As long as you have the height, I would put self adhesive cork tile on the ceiling then these tiles

then another layer of sheetrock. That should help.
