Authors of the New York Times bestseller Super Brain mix cutting-edge science and spiritual wisdom to present a bold new understanding of our genes and how changes in lifestyle can not only benefit our genetics but also help lead us to happier, healthier, and more fulfilling lives.
"You are not simply the sum output of your genome," write Deepak Chopra and Rudy Tanzi, "you are the user and inventor of your genome." This revolutionary idea is at the heart of the new book from the bestselling duo behind Super Brain. For years, many have believed that genes were fixed components of our bodies, that we as individuals were incapable of altering our genetic makeup. Yet, groundbreaking research suggests something else, that a change in lifestyle and diet can greatly influence our genetic predispositions to diseases and certain physical and psychological behaviors. Moreover, the adoption of ancient Vedic practices such as yoga and meditation create genetic mutations that will allow us to lead longer and healthier lives.
