In Dr. James Baird’s ground-breaking new book, readers discover the fascinating world of their own DNA – and how it can be used to positively control emotions, beliefs and behavioural choices.

Naperville, IL -- (ReleaseWire) -- 09/28/2012 --According to Dr. James Baird, true lasting happiness is not generated from things and conditions that always change, but from within us. He explains the concept in his latest book, “Happiness Genes: Unlock the Positive Potential Hidden in Your DNA”.

Official synopsis:

You have a Constitutional right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And every day thousands of advertising images seduce into believing that happiness can be bought. But put away your wallet away. Happiness is at your fingertips, or rather sitting in your DNA, right now! The new science of epigenetics reveals there are reserves of natural happiness within your DNA that can be controlled by you, by your emotions, beliefs and behavioural choices.

Happiness Genes: Unlock the Positive Potential Hidden in Your DNA examines the nature and source of happiness from ancient times to the present. It presents research in biology and epigenetics that show DNA contains genes for natural happiness and your ultimate well-being. Happiness Genes instructs you:

- How to switch on your happiness genes, creating a biological cascade of well-being.
- Cutting-edge research in microbiology, genetics, and epigenetics
- A 28-Day Natural Happiness Program

Happiness Genes proves a definitive link between science and spirituality. It shows how you are biologically wired for natural happiness.

As the author explains, Happiness Genes are easier to activate than one may think.

“Happiness Genes are genetic and are activated with every altruistic act. Why we don't do this naturally is that we have a genetic priority and our altruistic level is low in priority. Our high priority is our survival or competitive genes,” says Dr. Baird.

He continues, “The way to change priorities is to turn off our survival/competitive genes using epigenetic mental acts. Epigenetics is a hot new science that is being researched in most of the major medical organizations. The book provides a 28 day program to increase the expression of our altruistic acts.”

In short, the book is poised to become a vital text in the archives of human understanding.

Happiness Genes: Unlock the Positive Potential Hidden in Your DNA, published by New Page Books, is available now from Amazon.
