We have within us the potential if guided wisely to enhance human flourishing at the same time as we limit the impact of disease. Genetics, is constantly adapting and re-expressing itself in an ongoing interplay between the environment, mind and consciousness. The old way of looking at genetics was that we just got dealt a genetic hand by nature and we were either lucky or unlucky in what we got dealt.

Chapters include: genetics; temoleres and the genetics of ageing gracefully; hand-me-down genes; the importance of the environment - physical, social, chemical exposure, radiation; the importance of exercise; substance abuse, prevent - how to keep our genes healthy; treatment - changing the course of chronic illness; stress, relaxation and meditation; caring for the next generation; the essence of health, the future.
