Naperville, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/12/2015 -- There's no way to sugarcoat it – most people are truly baffled by their own behaviors. From why they are unhappy to why the morning commute makes their stress levels sky-rocket, understanding the human condition is something of a mystery. However, having spent over three decades researching behavioral genetics, James D. Baird finally has answers that all can understand.
He exposes all in 'Behavioral Genes: Why We Do What We Do and How to Change' which not only helps people understand all of their idiosyncrasies, but provides a proven blueprint for changing their genetic expression for a prosperous new life.
Synopsis:
We humans behave in mysterious ways. We fight for seemingly no reason, eat too much, make our selves and others unhappy, and behave in all sorts of self-defeating ways. Why do we do what we do? And how can we change our behavior for the better? James D. Baird has researched the answers to these questions. In Behavioral Genes, he brings state-of-the-art science to our fingertips, giving us the knowledge to transform our lives for the better.
The root cause of our mysterious behaviors is that 30-50% of what we do is driven by genes inherited from our prehistoric ancestors. But we needn't be trapped by those genes or those behaviors! The new science of epigenetics proves that genes are not necessarily destiny. These exciting new discoveries are already being used by medical organizations, and Dr. Baird shows us how we can use them in everyday life.
Behavioral Genes offers specific ways to move beyond your ancient "caveman mind" and actually change your biology. It examines the sources of stress, aggression, conflict, overeating, hurt feelings, mistaken perceptions, and unhappiness. It brings understanding to core behaviors such as personality, happiness, relationships, love, and differences between the sexes. Drawing on the proven therapies of meditation, mindfulness, cognitive therapy, and epigenetic behavioral therapy, Behavioral Genes maps out a positive new way to increase well-being.
"Epigenetics will initially be foreign to most readers, but it has the power to literally change them – and their lives," explains Baird, author of five other books including the highly-acclaimed 'Happiness Genes'. "Epigenetic modalities are actually extremely easy to understand and allow anyone to drastically change their own biology. From how they handle stress to how they conduct their love life, their genes present the perfect chance to affect bold change."
Continuing, "The common reader will be able to understand everything in this book and put change into action quicker than they thought possible. It's time to stop seeing genes as destiny and instead as an opportunity. Go grab it!"
