About the Book
Genetic characteristics that are passed down from generation to generation have been considered immutable and inescapable. But recent studies by scientists have shown that the environment and other external factors change the way our genes work. Physical and chemical factors are well-known, but in The Divine Code of Life, Dr. Kazuo Murakami offers a new perspective: how we think can activate good dormant genes and switch off negative ones. In other words, your hidden potential lies within your genes.
