Super Genes: Unlock the Astonishing Power of Your DNA for Optimum Health and Well-Being

Very interesting and good information to change your lifestyle, in order to avoid illnesses, and what you eat. Worth the read.

Sections ONE and THREE were excellent! Section ONE reviews the science and Section THREE attempts to integrate MIND and CONSCIOUSNESS into the genetic equation. In my opinion, these are the areas where the authors shine. Dr. Tanzi is a geneticistand Dr. Chopra is a philosopher focused on the Unity of Life.Section TWO -- the practical lifestyle advice -- in my opinion was weak. As far as I know, neither of the authors and currently inprivate practice, working with a large number of patients. I found the advice too general and limited. As a clinician, I didn't think theyhad the necessary power to match the possibilities that the rest of the book makes available.Still ... an important work ... and I am glad they wrote it!

This is another great read to broaden our perspectives, quench questioning attitude, and find interesting implications backed by science; all of which mesh beautifully with the more spiritual enlightenment Neal Walsh's books have given to us. I love science backing up what I and countless others have always felt, suspected, and thought. We are doubtless on in close proximity of transformation and how we feel about it and react to it will determine our path forward ad a species and as individuations of the whole. Hope this makes sense. I feel, I learn, I think... Most of all, I am me, not what or who anyone else tells me to be. I abide by the law because I believe there needs to be one. But I will never blindly accept what religion, doctors, big pharma, politics, commercialism feeds me. I am not a lemming. More people awaken and that gives me joy! This is a well written book that bears reading again in a year or so...

This book is so valuable that I have read it 3 times ... each time just to be in the company of two brilliant minds as they share information we can use to empower, enrich, energize our lives, our health, and our brains. Thank you for writing this invaluable book!!

Everyone who cares about their health needs to read this book to fully understand how much control each person actually has over their own health and well being down to the level of their DNA and micro biome. Everything we think, say, do, eat etc. affects us at the level of our genes -- DNA. Except for about 5% of genes which are fully penetrant, each person can affect the functioning of their genes through diet and life style. The book provides an easy "no brainer" approach to making 52 easy permanent changes with positive effects on health during a year. Each person chooses what they need to change and then commit to one simple, easy thing they can do each week. Each of us really is in control of our health. It's an easy read back up with lots of Science to support its content.

I liked it, but I did not understand a lot of it. It made nme think about being able to change myself in many interesting ways. It made me know that many genes inherited can be changed and made better. It totally went against many things I believed. I hope to read it again. I know I could understand it better than the first reading.

It is exciting to learn that human adaptation has been accelerating over the last 40,000 years. This means that human beings are following the path of mice and other species in that evolutionary change does not have to happen over millions of years, it can happen in a single generation. As a husband, dad, professional and athlete this is super empowering.We are all familiar with the notion that our small moment to moment choices (thoughts, actions, behaviors) make up our lives. It is incredible to know that they make up 97% of our genes as well. Great book!

I heard about this book on Conan he had deepak chopra talk about it. I am not someone special by any means i put fuel in trucks for a window company thats my job. But this guy made my brain click if you have a understanding about things a average person wouldn't even think about get this book it might change your life by opening your mind because it makes sense. When i talk to my family about something similar they look at me like your nuts and half retard. But anyways i dont explain myself very well sometimes i sound like i need to go back to school I've been told. So starting on one improvement i need to quit talking about myself. Get the book

I was a bit sceptical when purchasing this book but, oh man, this is a must read for everyone. You don’t need to be a biologist to understand this topic. Moreover, the information you will receive is very useful for your own good.

After reading this book, I felt that any one who does not know the role of epigenome and microbiome is to be considered missing a very important basic biology lesson. This is not to be considered advanced biology. It will shake up your basics about biology. This is discovered only in the past decade but this knowledge needs to replace our old, incomplete idea of how our body works. It is an important book because we get to know how to conduct our body each and every moment knowing that our epigenome and microbiome is reacting to our every step and hence we can make informed, better choices in our diet, lifestyle. It is empowering because this book tells that most of what we are can be changed : our genetic make up is highly malleable. It replaces the traditional thinking is genes are hardwired and takes a lot of time to change.

I had borrowed this book from our library and just had to buy it as it's a wonderful guide for how to reach old age with the advantage of knowing how to govern our bodies, mind and soul, as well as physically. I'll be using it every day as a reference/reminder of what I can do to maximize my 'gene' potential. I have used some of the guides mentioned in this book and found excellent results if followed consistently and have found success.Having a 'bad' prediction from your gene pool regarding your health, can be very discouraging, as in my family, but this book is right on the money to help change that forecast for the better. I'd give this book a 'Big Buy'!!

Another masterpiece by Deepack Chopra and R.T. Tanzi. This book could be considered as a continuation of their earlier book SUPER BRAIN. The starting topic is Epigenetics, covered extensively by Bruce Lipton in his ground breaking work, THE BIOLOGY OF BELIEF. In the following chapters they explore the role of Gut Microbiome and their impact on the digestive system. The link between digestive system, immune system, nerves system and human brain is examined subsequently. In part three they examine the role of Diet, Stress, Exercise, Meditation, Sleep and Emotion in human transformation and development.

Interesting book on our genes and how we can better understand them.However more than anything the book has got me to take on Prayanama Meditation and got me to think of the human body in a different way than just the common mind/body understanding.A book worth reading!
