beste TakeAway: selbst bei Stress eine Aufgabe nach der anderen bearbeiten,

blinkist This book contains a great a deal of really interesting information, The book is broken down intoparts and each part is then broken down into individual chapters, Partis titled The Science of Transformation and gives the reader an introduction to what the book is about and basic information about DNA and genetics.
Partis titles Lifestyle Choice for Radical WellBeing and includes chapters on diet, stress, exercise, meditations, sleep and emotions.
Partis titled Guiding Your Own Evolution and gives the reader more steps towards wellbeing, as well as information on cells.
I personally liked Part, the section on how to make positive changes in your life, A lot of the information provided are things I already do, such as eating a vegetarian diet and exercising.
I also like how these chapters are broken down because they are really reader friendly, For example, the chapter on diet has a section on how to reduce inflammation, There are thenlists of things you can do to reduce inflammation labeled, Easy Choices, Harder

Choices and Experimental Choices.
A lot of books like this tend to be very strict and don't give the reader any options regarding making healthy changes to their lifestyle.
I really liked this book because it gives you the opportunity to look through this list and pick one or two things if you aren't ready to make a huge change yet.
There is a great deal of information about diet and exercise, as well as being emotional healthy,

Although this book does incorporate information about genetics, DNA and cells, it also gives the reader a great deal of information and ideas to start changing their lifestyle towards a healthy one.
I really enjoyed the author's approach, as I stated in the last chapter and found this to be a very interesting and helpful book.
Thank you to the publishers for sending me a review copy of this book, Following the blockbuster success of their earlier book 'Super Brains', Deepak Chopra and Rudolph Tanzi are back again and this time with an even more ambitious venture.
Turning on its head one of the most frequently adages, "you are what your genes make you out to be", this spiritualistmedical practitioner duo throw interesting insights on the revolutionary advances in the field of epigenetics which postulate that the genes within us may be altered to mirror our lifestyle pattern, dietary choices, fitness regimen and stress coping mechanism.
In other words a potent combination of both nature and nurture will have a significant impact on the genetic behaviour within us and hence such a behaviour may be made more suitable and favorable for the radical well being of man by consciously inculcating healthy habits and practicing spiritual therapy.


The initial part of the book is quite dense with an indepth analysis of the gene theory in general and the advances in the field of epigenetics in particular.
The reader is faced with the unenviable task of ploughing through the marvelous workings of the chromosomes, the binding properties of proteins and the chemicals and hormones that are responsible for inducing pleasure and inciting pain.
Even though some concepts such as the Fecal Microbiota Transplant "FMT" pique the curiosity of the unknowing even if the revolutionary process is to put it mildly, repulsive, most of this section is more of a medical practitioner's delight rather than a layman's guide to a better life.


The second part of the book is the most interesting and inspiring aspect of “Super Genes”, This Section provides broad guidelines on traversing the path to leading a radical life, Divided into five segments, each segment proposes three kinds of choices, namely easy hard and experimental in a key sphere of everyday life to be practiced rigorously and diligently.
The five key spheres identified are:
Diet
Health
Stress
Exercise and
Mind Stimulation

Super Genes concludes with yet another quasitechnical/spiritual section on mind stimulation and fulfillment.
The book has typical shades of Deepak Chopra and his inimitable imprint may be easily discerned in the second half of the book.
Although novel in its objective and outlook, “Super Genes” could have been much more enjoyable if the technical content and jargons were to have been kept down to a minimum and basic level.
Nonetheless this book definitely serves a purpose that is altruistic and an objective that is holistic, This book inspired and motivated me, Some of it was above my head, but I am glad I stuck in, A good reminder that we do have some control over our destiny, . "You are not simply the sum total of the genes you were born with," write Deepak Chopra and Rudy Tanzi.
"You are the user and controller of your genes, the author of your biological story, No prospect in selfcare is more exciting, "

Learning how to shape your gene activity is at the heart of this exciting and eagerlyanticipated book from the bestselling duo behind Super Brain, which became a nationwide hit as a PBS special.


For decades medical science has believed that genes determined our biological destiny, Now the new genetics has changed that assumption forever, You will always have the genes you were born with, but genes are dynamic, responding to everything we think, say, and do.
Suddenly they've become our strongest allies for personal transformation, When you make lifestyle choices that optimize how your genes behave, you can reach for a state of health and fulfillment undreamed of even a decade ago.
The impact on prevention, immunity, diet, aging, and chronic disorders is unparalleled,
This book is a mix of science and speculation about genetics,
The first part introduces the latest findings around genetics, mostly about the microbiomeall the bacteria that our body hosts and needs, and their genesand epigenetics, which taught us that the use of our genes is somewhat regulated by a host of factors, from environment to food to our mindset etc.

The second part was probably the best and the most practical, offering a list of simple habits to form in six different aspects of our life sleep, diet, exercise, meditation.
. . to improve our health. There was nothing new in there but it was a good sum up of all the latest recommendations regarding health.

The third part seemed frankly out there, Their theory is that we could direct the expression of our genes by way of epigenetics, and take control of the human genetic evolution.
It just sounded like sciencefiction with a bad eugenic twist, It didn't seem realistic, nor desirable, nor backed up by much science, Impresionante como se puede vender humo a este nivel, Los capítulos con influencia de Tanzi son los que rescato, Lo demás es Chopra hablando por hablar sin mucho sustento, Este no es un libro para los que crean en la ciencia y la evidencia, Very insightful and illustrating. This is a book written by man successful man of science convinced by the inner power of mindfulness and meditation.

In essence, nature is all about feedback loops,

Darwinian evolution finds intelligence suspicious and/or unnecessary, including intelligent design
Faith finds Darwinian evolution unreal but might accept intelligent design
Intelligent design bridges human evolution with the influence of a higher power

Epigenerics: the study of genetically in/off switches

The main evolution triumph is not the brain or the body.
It is memory. Memory allows a mother to pass tools to deal with the entire history of human diseases to her offspring through antibodies.


Six factors that have the most impact in one's epigenome:
, Diet
. Exercise
. Meditation
. Stress
. Sleep
. Emotions

Inputs for BENEFICIAL Gene Activity

. Love and Affection
. Satisfying work
. Creative Outlets

. Unhappy Friends "Super Genes" is a selfhelp book, The underlying belief system is that evolution is certain and that Vedic and Ayurveda traditions are correct, The authors interpreted various studies and experiences in a way that conformed to their belief system, This is a natural thing to do, but much of Partand Partwas speculative, If you don't share their base assumptions, these sections may hold little interest for you,

Part. Scientists have gathered a lot of data on epigenetics, but epigenetics is so complex that they're only beginning to understand how it might work.
Basically, having a 'breast cancer' gene doesn't necessarily mean you will get that disease, Factors like nutrition, exercise, and stress can determine whether a gene is "switched on" or "switched off, "

The rest was confusing, but apparently adaptation can happen through epigenetic markers on our DNA which can be rapidly changed as outside stressors change.
These markers can be passed on to offspring but also changed back by those offspring, I suspect most of this section will become outdated as we learn more, They also discussed the microbiome and how the bacteria living in our gut and elsewhere affect our bodies through the compounds they produce.


In Part, they discussed some basic changes you can make relating to diet, stress, exercise, meditation, sleep, happiness and fulfillment which will improve your health.
I've heard much of this advice before, The authors understood that people resist change, so they gave advice on how to make lasting changes, They also presented their proposed changes in terms of small, easy steps, You make one easy change each week,

In Part, the authors proposed a new mechanism for evolution that isn't based on random chance but on "mindful evolution.
" They made it clear they don't believe in Intelligent Design which suggests an outside intelligence source, but rather the organism helps to guide its own evolution.
They don't explain how adaptation based on epigenetic markers somehow resulted in useful, new DNA especially considering how complex DNA expression is turning out to be.
But their main point seems to be a hope that someday we'll be able to purposefully direct our own evolution.


Frankly, I think the book would have been better as two separate books: one on their speculative ideas from Partampand one with their practical advice from Part.


I received this book as a review copy from the publisher, Basically, this is a selfhelp book with a lot of information about genetics, As usual, Deepak Chopra comes from a place of positivty with the overarching message that your fate, specifically the fate of your health, is not predetermined by your genes.
He and his coauthor use the latest in scientific research to demonstrate that lifestyle changes can essentially turn on and off the genes that can lead to things like cancer and dementia.
It's a very well reasoned and practical guide to healthier living, It also ends with a more abstract, but still wellwritten, argument that living a healthy lifestyle won't just benefit you, but your family, the human race, and the planet.
Gotta give to Deepak, he's going for nothing short than the betterment of all mankind,

I love this sort of positive approach to wellbeing, and I was looking for a nice push toward healthier living, so I enjoyed this book.
But if you aren't interested in that, . . This book is just perfect! Listened to on CD, Reminded me a little of one of Bruce Lipton's books, lot of overlap, Excellent book on explaining the new field of epigenetics and how you CAN modify your DNA, I'm not talking about some sort of expensive gene therapy administered by a Dr, but meaningful things you can do to modify your genes,

Well worth checking out, What you think you know about your genome is probably mistaken, Chopra brings a complex subject into better focus!!!

The relationship between mind and body is of tremendous interest.
Now, Dr. Chopra focuses on an additional source of influence, the environment internal and external , and how health is influences at the level of our tremendously complex genetic material.
This tome is focused and scientific yet easy to read and understand, It highlights many aspects in our daily lives which can improve our lives and potentially increase longevity, Ce que j'avais ressenti en lisant du chopra c'est qu'il écrivait de la médecine romancée, une médecine spirituelle sur mesure imprégnée de traditions indiennes de vedas et d'ayurveda essayant de l'englober sur tout un chacun.
.
Du développement personnel a l'allure scientifique mais qui reste néanmoins un développement personnel,
Il pose des centaines de questions et en contournant a chaque fois une réponse claire précise et approuvée en bredouillant des dizaines de page puis a la fin on a ni la réponse ni la compréhension ni la question.

Détourner la réponse en écrivant des dizaines de pages invraisemblables en promouvant le deepak center ça et la entre les lignes n'est pas une science.
Elle l'est encore mois puisqu'elle ne peut guérir le panel de maladies mondiales qu'on a, . Les maladies de tout les tissus confondus y compris les mentales, En montrant a chaque fois que la médecine actuelle est rudimentaire traditionnelle voire inefficace devant les avancées spirituelles anciennes.

Je ne pense pas vouloir lire du chopra encore,
