INHERITANCE : HOW OUR GENES CHANGE OUR LIVES AND OUR LIVES CHANGE OUR GENES PB – DR SHARON MOALEM

A groundbreaking book that will transform how we understand ourselves and our families by revealing that everything we thought we knew about genetics is wrong. Your experiences, no matter how seemingly inconsequential – from bullies to crushes to what you eat for dinner – have all left an indelible mark within you. And more importantly, within your genes. Inheritance is a guidebook for change. No longer do we have to settle for what we ve been given. We can write our own story. We re taught that we don t have much of a choice in the matter of what we get or what we give, because our genetic legacy was fixed when our parents conceived us. But that s all wrong. Our genes are constantly on the move, some are turning on while others are turning off, all in response to what you re doing, what you re seeing, and what you re feeling. And all of those things can be changed, which means we can change. Genetically.
