The essence of the documentary film SWITCH, which has moved audiences all over the country, has been captured in this book!
Our genes have a switch, although there are many people who aren't aware of this fact. We all imagine genes to be immutable forms that are passed down to us from our parents, but they are dynamic and can change when they’re influenced.
University of Tsukuba Professor Emeritus Kazuo Murakami, whose noteworthy achievements in biotechnology are acknowledged around the world, provides scientific explanations using real-life examples. He talks about Junko and Momoko Suzuki, both of whom survived a major accident, and the experiences of Katsuko Yamamoto, a special-needs school teacher. He then touches on the aftermath of the Great East Japan Earthquake, life, and the soul.
窶祢s your genetic switch on? |

From the editor: |
It's likely that many people think they don't stand a chance because of the genes they inherited from their parents. Dr. Murakami demonstrates with scientific explanations that this belief is wrong. Actually, there are many people who bring their full capabilities to fruition through their own mental attitudes or by varying the environment they are in.
Using real-life examples as a basis, he talks about how people with various genetic disorders actually keep the human race from becoming extinct. What appears to be negative turns out to be positive, and positive things are founded on negative ones.
This book will change the way you perceive the world. So, will you read the book first or watch the documentary film first? |
