"In Super Genes, Drs. Deepak Chopra and Rudolph Tanzi illustrate
the interplay of nature and nurture using cutting edge genetic
science and argue persuasively that adapting one's lifestyle can
maximize the potential to transcend the inherited susceptibilities
handed down to us from our parents."
-James Gusella, Ph.D., Director, Center for Human Genetic Research
Harvard Medical School "Once thought to be the domain of genes, the
control of health and behavior is now dynamically linked to the
environment, and more importantly, our perception of the
environment. Super Genes, by Deepak Chopra and Rudy Tanzi, is a
paradigm-shattering synthesis of epigenetic science that offers an
easy-to-understand explanation of the mechanisms by which
consciousness and environment control our genetic activity. Drs.
Chopra and Tanzi's contribution is a valuable resource that
empowers us to become the masters of our fate rather than the
'victims' of our heredity."
-Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D., Epigenetic scientist and bestselling
author of The Biology of Belief, Spontaneous Evolution and The
Honeymoon Effect
"The concept that biology is destiny is one of the most
pathological and toxic exaggerations to emerge during the entire
scientific era. This hard-core materialistic view has been a kind
of psychological enslavement that has pushed many people into
nihilism and despair. In Super Genes, Drs. Deepak Chopra and
Rudolph E. Tanzi discuss new evidence that our genes are not our
masters, but they respond in large measure to our choices and
behaviors. The resulting view honors not just the body but mind and
spirit as well--a vision that is as bright and hopeful as the old
view was morbid and depressing. Super Genes is an important book.
It will empower anyone who reads it, because it expands our view of
what it means to be human."
-Larry Dossey, MD, author of One Mind: How Our Individual Mind Is
Part of a Greater Consciousness and Why It Matters
"Super Genes demolishes the myth that our genes determine our fate.
Deepak Chopra and Rudy Tanzi explain in breathtaking detail the
magic of how our diet, lifestyle, our thoughts and even our gut
bacteria or microbiome "talk" to our genes, regulating which genes
get turned on or off, or turned up or down influencing every aspect
of our health. This is essential reading for anyone interested in
turning on their health, weight loss, happiness and longevity
genes!"
-Mark Hyman, MD, Director, Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional
Medicine, author of the #1 New York Times Bestseller, The Blood
Sugar Solution. "We used to think everything about us was either
our genetics or our environment. But in Super Genes, Deepak Chopra
and Rudi Tanzi adeptly teach us that it's all about both--how
tightly they are intertwined. And what we can do about it."
-Eric Topol, MD, author The Patient Will See You Now, Professor of
Genomics, The Scripps Research Institute "Flawlessly weaving
together the complicated science of genetics with the touching
stories of very real people, my friends Deepak and Rudolph have
written a book that you won't put down. You will find yourself
scribbling furious notes, and sharing your new wisdom with the
people you love. First they gave us all the ability to have Super
Brains, and now they have done the same with our Super Genes."
-Sanjay Gupta, MD, Neurosurgeon and author of Chasing Life,
Cheating Death and Monday Mornings "A ground breaking and
eye-opening account of recent discoveries in two new fields -
epigenetics and microbiomics - weaved with practical insights to
optimize our own wellness and longevity. Rudy Tanzi and Deepak
Chopra, renowned pioneers in their respective fields, have written
one of the most important health books of the year."
-Murali Doraiswamy MD, Professor of Psychiatry and Medicine, Duke
University
"Super Genes will take you on an exciting journey of discovery
about the ways genetic expression can be modified by simple
lifestyle changes and even by how you use your mind. The essential
message of this important book is that your genes alone do not
determine your destiny. You can learn how to influence them to
enjoy better health and optimum well-being. I recommend it."
-Andrew Weil, MD, author, Healthy Aging and Spontaneous
Happiness
"Our genes are a predisposition, but they are not our fate. The
biological mechanisms that affect our health and well-being are
often extraordinarily dynamic--for better and for worse. When we
eat well, move more, stress less, and love more, our bodies often
have a remarkable ability to transform and heal. Super Genes is a
superb contribution to our growing knowledge that mind, brain,
genome, and microbiome can act as a single system. Drs. Chopra and
Tanzi continue to make pioneering contributions that are bringing
integrative medicine into the mainstream. Highly recommended!"
-Dean Ornish, M.D., Founder and President, Preventive Medicine
Research Institute Clinical Professor of Medicine, University of
California, San Francisco "Genetics is a two-way street. Drs.
Chopra and Tanzi show how the mind can tell the genes to heal the
body ."

in how we can all optimize our health, as opposed to simply

people how they can be better better, faster, stronger, happier is
so much more inspiring. It is what I loved about"Super Brain," the
first book Deepak and Rudolph wrote, and they now have a muscular
follow up, with"Super Genes." In many ways, Super Genes is the
prequel to Super Brain, because it peers down into the very essence
of who we are, what comprises us ashuman beings, and how much of
what we experience ispre-ordained destiny vs. being in our own
control. The answer to these questionswill inspire you.
