"You are not just the sum of the genes you were born with," write Deepak Chopra and Rudolph Tanzi. "You are the user and manager of your genes, the author of your biological story. There is no more exciting prospect in the field of self-care." After Super Brain (Patakis Editions, 2015), the famous author and doctor Deepak Chopra and Harvard Medical School professor Rudolph E. Tanzi present us with a bold new perspective on our genes and how simple lifestyle changes can enhance our genetic activity. The leap to "total well-being" is a promise yet to be realized. For decades, medical science believed that genes determine our biological destiny. The findings of new genetics have completely overturned this theory. You will always have the genes you were born with, but genes are dynamic and respond to everything we think, say, and do. We now know that our genes can become our strongest allies for personal transformation. By making lifestyle choices that optimize the behavior of our genes, we can achieve unprecedented changes in prevention, immunity, nutrition, aging, and chronic disorders. Also published by Patakis Editions is the book by Deepak Chopra and Rudolph E. Tanzi, Super Brain: Unleashing the Explosive Power of Your Mind (translation: G. Lambrakos, 2015). "One of the most important health books of the year." -Murali Doraiswamy, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry and Medicine, Duke University "Seamlessly weaving the complex science of genetics with moving real-life stories of people, my friends Deepak and Rudolph have written a book you won't be able to put down."
