Story
We use DNA routinely - to cure diseases, solve crimes, and reunite families. Yet we've known about it for only 60 years. And what we're continuing to learn about it every day has the potential to transform our health, our nutrition, our society, and our future. But what, exactly is DNA, the self-replicating material present in nearly all living organisms?

Story
Your nervous system is you. All the thoughts, perceptions, moods, passions, and dreams that make you an active, sentient being are the work of this amazing network of cells. For many centuries, people knew this was true. But no one was sure how it happened. Now, thanks to the exciting new field of neuroscience, we can chart the workings of the brain and the rest of the nervous system in remarkable detail to explain how neurons, synapses, neurotransmitters, and other biological processes produce all the experiences of everyday life, in every stage of life.

As the emerging science of epigenetics shows, our beliefs and choices can control our biology down to a cellular level. According to Dr. Lipton, this startling scientific insight suggests a major evolutionary shift for the human species is on the horizon.

From leading geopolitical expert and technology futurist Jamie Metzl comes a groundbreaking exploration of the many ways genetic engineering is shaking the core foundations of our lives-sex, war, love, and death. At the dawn of the genetics revolution, our DNA is becoming as readable, writable, and hackable as our information technology. But as humanity starts retooling our own genetic code, the choices we make today will be the difference between realizing breathtaking advances in human well-being and descending into a dangerous and potentially deadly genetic arms race.

In Mitochondria and the Future of Medicine, naturopathic doctor Lee Know tells the epic story of mitochondria - the widely misunderstood and often-overlooked powerhouses of our cells. The legendary saga began over two billion years ago, when one bacterium entered another without being digested, which would evolve to create the first mitochondrion. Since then, for life to exist beyond single-celled bacteria, it's the mitochondria that have been responsible for this life-giving energy.

In this delightful, acclaimed bestseller, one of the world’s leading cognitive scientists tackles the workings of the human mind. What makes us rational—and why are we so often irrational? How do we see in three dimensions? What makes us happy, afraid, angry, disgusted, or sexually aroused? Why do we fall in love? And how do we grapple with the imponderables of morality, religion, and consciousness?

Publisher's Summary
Epigenetics can potentially revolutionize our understanding of the structure and behavior of biological life on Earth. It explains why mapping an organism's genetic code is not enough to determine how it develops or acts and shows how nurture combines with nature to engineer biological diversity. Surveying the 20-year history of the field while also highlighting its latest findings and innovations, this volume provides a readily understandable introduction to the foundations of epigenetics. Nessa Carey, a leading epigenetics researcher, connects the field's arguments to such diverse phenomena as how ants and queen bees control their colonies, why tortoiseshell cats are always female, why some plants need cold weather before they can flower, and how our bodies age and develop disease. Reaching beyond biology, epigenetics now informs work on drug addiction, the long-term effects of famine, and the physical and psychological consequences of childhood trauma. Carey concludes with a discussion of the future directions for this research and its ability to improve human health and well-being.

The complicated world of epigenetics
Just when we thought that genetic information does not get affected by the environment as Darwin had solidified, we discover Lemarkien evolution at work.
What does this exactly mean. Well, the environment affects our genes which can and are handed down to our offsprings. Jean-Baptise Lamarck has been somewhat vindicated by discoveries that prove certain adaptations occurs during the lifetime of animals and plants which in some cases improves the fitness and survivability of the animal and more importantly those traits are handed down generations.
The subject is fascinating, but this book is far too complicated for anyone who has not studied the subject, and is well versed in the lingo.

Begins Accessible, Then Becomes Too Technical
The first third of the book is accessible, which I define, as a reader, as being able to formulate mental images from what the author is saying. This author did not have mental imagery in the forefront (few writers do, though it is absolutely critical), so in later chapters anyone who is not well verse in biology will not be able to visualize what the author is describing, and the book becomes unintelligible noise - a stream of incoherent syllables - in other words, gobbledygook. This seems to be the rule with books that include biology in the subject matter - authors seem to lose it when things get technical, and they give up on ensuring the reader can visualize (and hence understand) what is being said.

Good but very technical
Lots of good information here. It does read a bit like a textbook though. If you know and enjoy science, you can follow it but some of it just won't sink in. If you know the ins and outs of physiology really well, this will be a great read.

Great introduction to the topic
Great book, my first on the topic and I have to say it is neither too deep (most of the times) nor too shallow. You get to know a lot about this mysterious mechanism that changes genes that are always the same into different body cells and how is it possible that individuals with the same genetic material can differ.
What I took away is that this field it is still in quite early stages and it is not really moving that fast because of obstacles of patents and testing etc. so its reall everyday use is not likely to be just around the corner, but it is progressing.
What I did not like was the frevent tone of the narrator and sometimes the smallness of the authors views - like if the most important thing in the field is not how it is gonna change the future but who gets the Nobel prize...
But if i disregard the things in the paragraph above the facts in the book are just amazing...

A Clear & Detailed Explanation Of Epigenetics
Would you listen to The Epigenetics Revolution again? Why?
Yes-
Have already listened to some chapters 3x
What did you like best about this story?
The clear explanations and analogies of complex issues -
What does Donna Postel bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Clear voice and doesn't accentuate the S's
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Any additional comments?
As an avid science reader this book is a good one- Am ordering the print version tonight

Maybe A Bit Over My Head But Great Performance
Where does The Epigenetics Revolution rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This is an admission I probably shouldn't make. If I don't feel like giving a book a 4 or 5 star I refrain from ranking it thinking I just didn't get it. If I feel like I wasted my money I do rank 1 star. If it weren't for the enthusiastic reading I would have not rated this book.
Any additional comments?
This is an amazing topic with so much happening that even though I only got 10% of the facts, I am now a 100% believer that this is important work.
Thank you Nesa Carey for even trying to explain it to me and thank you Donna Postel for keeping me listening.

Awesome information on epigenetics, its history, the people involved, and the mechanisms at play. Not an easy book to follow as an audiobook. there are many moving parts, acronyms, and technical details that make it hard to listen to. I'd recommend reading it instead.
