Product Description

For many years, genes have been thought of as immutable: "You can’t change, it’s hereditary" was the mantra. But studies now show that genes are functioning and changing, every minute, every second. According to The Divine Code of Life, dormant genes have the potential to "wake up" and transform personality and outlook. The book shows how mental and emotional factors — negatives like stress and positives like excitement, joy, gratitude, and spirituality — are also involved in switching genes on or off. Drawing on recent scientific research and the author’s own observations, this book shows that humans can bring forth their talents at any age. How? Dr. Murakami argues that a positive outlook can turn on the genes that are necessary to bring happiness and success into anyone’s life and turn off the bad genes. He calls this process "genetic thinking" — a science-based approach to controlling the genes by cultivating enthusiasm and inspiration.

Customer Reviews

Very Interesting
I found some sections of the book relatively boring, however, the book as a whole I found very interesting. I recommend not purchasing the book, and just getting it for free from your library or just going to your local bookstore and reading it over a period of 2-3 days. I finished the book in 2 days, and it is a fairly easy read.

interesting
here is a great quote from page ix: "A recent experiment I led, which I will describe in detail later, found that laughter significantly reduced blood-sugar levels in diabetics after meals" WOW

Thought Provoking
This book does a wonderful job of driving home one simple but very important point: the importance of gratitude. I know there are many books out there on the power of belief, but this author posits the idea that our genes actually respond to an attitude of gratitude, which is a new idea to me.
