About this title

Review

""The Divine Code of Life" is one of the best discussions I have seen on the interplay of genes, environment, and consciousness. It is a devastating argument against genetic determinism and the idea that one's identity is written in the genome. It captures the majestic and spiritual dimension of the universe without being too religious. I think it turned on a a few of my good genes."
Larry Dossey, MD, author of "Reinventing Medicine "and "The Extraordinary Healing Power of Ordinary Things""

"Humankind in the twenty-first century is faced with challenges that cannot be solved by science or religion alone. We need to blend out spiritual understanding with modern scientific knowledge in order to overcome suffering. Kazuo Murakami's important research brings us closer to that goal."
--His Holiness the Dalai Lama
