Review by Booklist Review

We've been told that genes are the permanent blueprint of our lives. But according to best-selling author Chopra (The Future of God, 2014) and Alzheimer expert Tanzi, everything we think or do can affect our genetic outcome. Part 1 of this intriguing book is filled with medical experiments and conjecture from top doctors and researchers explaining the technicalities of DNA structure and epigenetics (the study of the chemicals and proteins that influence the genes). Part 2, which is more accessible, lists specific lifestyle choices (easy, harder, and experimental) to modify your genes and reach radical well-being. The authors explain that even adding one new lifestyle choice per week in areas such as diet, stress, exercise, meditation, sleep, and emotions will lead to important, sustainable changes at the year's end. The final segment urges readers to use the wisdom of the body and mind to maximize these effects, resulting in super genes and enhanced health. Chopra's name, along with his trademark blend of concrete suggestions with spiritual principles, will guarantee popularity.--Smith, Candace Copyright 2015 Booklist
