Book excerpt: How the science of epigenetics reveals that we’re wired for natural happiness—includes a 28-day plan to create a biological cascade of well-being. Happiness Genes explores the surprising link between science and spirituality—and makes it clear that happiness can’t be bought. It’s actually at our fingertips—or more precisely, in our DNA. The new science of epigenetics reveals that there are reserves of natural happiness within your DNA that can be controlled by you—your emotions, beliefs, and behavioral choices. This book examines the nature and source of happiness, from ancient times to the present. It presents the epigenetic and other biological research that shows that DNA contains genes for natural happiness and your ultimate well-being. Then it details the 28-Day natural happiness program—to show you how to switch on your own happiness genes.
