“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 .”
–Stuart Hameroff, M.D., Banner-University Medical Center, The
University of Arizona
