In all of the cases above, individuals are writing their dreams down, they're eating the dream, they're sleeping the dream, they talk about the dream and they accomplish the dream starting not on the pedestal but at square one. Starting small and targeting the best versions of themselves. No one creates success alone. Together we can do this. Prepare to succeed.

Book excerpt: Finding Family: My Search for Roots and the Secrets in My DNA is the highly suspenseful account of an adoptee trying to reclaim the biological family denied him by sealed birth records. This fascinating quest, including the author's landmark use of DNA testing, takes readers on an exhilarating roller-coaster ride and concludes with a twist that rivals anything Hollywood has to offer. In the vein of a classic mystery, Hill gathers the seemingly scant evidence surrounding the circumstances of his birth. As his resolve shores up, the author also avails of new friends, genealogists, the Internet, and the latest DNA tests in the new field of genetic genealogy. As he closes in on the truth of his ancestry, he is able to construct a living, breathing portrait of the young woman who was faced with the decision to forsake her rights to her child, and ultimately the man whose identity had remained hidden for decades. Finding Family offers guidance, insight, and motivation for anyone engaged in a similar mission, from ways to obtain information to the many networks that can facilitate adoption searches. The book includes a detailed guide to DNA and genetic genealogy and how they can produce irrefutable results in determining genetic connections and help adoptees bypass sealed records and similar stumbling blocks.

Download or read book The Invisible History of the Human Race written by Christine Kenneally and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2015-01-29 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Notable Book of 2014 We are doomed to repeat history if we fail to learn from it, but how are we affected by the forces that are invisible to us? What role does Neanderthal DNA play in our genetic makeup? How did the theory of eugenics embraced by Nazi Germany first develop? How is trust passed down in Africa, and silence inherited in Tasmania? How are private companies like Ancestry.com uncovering, preserving and potentially editing the past? In The Invisible History of the Human Race, Christine Kenneally reveals that, remarkably, it is not only our biological history that is coded in our DNA, but also our social history. She breaks down myths of determinism and draws on cutting - edge research to explore how both historical artefacts and our DNA tell us where we have come from and where we may be going.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Best Book of 2021 by Bloomberg BusinessWeek, Time, and The Washington Post The bestselling author of Leonardo da Vinci and Steve Jobs returns with a “compelling” (The Washington Post) account of how Nobel Prize winner Jennifer Doudna and her colleagues launched a revolution that will allow us to cure diseases, fend off viruses, and have healthier babies. When Jennifer Doudna was in sixth grade, she came home one day to find that her dad had left a paperback titled The Double Helix on her bed. She put it aside, thinking it was one of those detective tales she loved. When she read it on a rainy Saturday, she discovered she was right, in a way. As she sped through the pages, she became enthralled by the intense drama behind the competition to discover the code of life. Even though her high school counselor told her girls didn’t become scientists, she decided she would. Driven by a passion to understand how nature works and to turn discoveries into inventions, she would help to make what the book’s author, James Watson, told her was the most important biological advance since his codiscovery of the structure of DNA. She and her collaborators turned a curiosity of nature into an invention that will transform the human race: an easy-to-use tool that can edit DNA. Known as CRISPR, it opened a brave new world of medical miracles and moral questions. The development of CRISPR and the race to create vaccines for coronavirus will hasten our transition to the next great innovation revolution. The past half-century has been a digital age, based on the microchip, computer, and internet. Now we are entering a life-science revolution. Children who study digital coding will be joined by those who study genetic code. Should we use our new evolution-hacking powers to make us less susceptible to viruses? What a wonderful boon that would be! And what about preventing depression? Hmmm…Should we allow parents, if they can afford it, to enhance the height or muscles or IQ of their kids? After helping to discover CRISPR, Doudna became a leader in wrestling with these moral issues and, with her collaborator Emmanuelle Charpentier, won the Nobel Prize in 2020. Her story is an “enthralling detective story” (Oprah Daily) that involves the most profound wonders of nature, from the origins of life to the future of our species.

Download or read book Winning with Your Body, Mind, and Soul written by Henry Arnold Davis and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-10-31 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winning can be an elusive thing. Anyone who has chased a dream can relate. What does it mean to win? If once a winner, is one always a winner? Does success in one area of life make one a winner? Who decides whether someone has actually won? At their core, people are driven to overcome any challenge they face—physical, mental, or spiritual. They want to win with their bodies, minds, and souls—separately and collectively. Their desire is to be a winner in the game of life and beyond, if there is such a thing. Competitions with the body and the mind are battles. Competition with the soul is war. The War. Ideally, everyone would win the battles and the war. However, it’s okay to lose every battle and win the war. But it’s not okay to win every battle and lose the war. Victories with the body and the mind are paper victories. Winning with the soul is the only victory that matters in The End. While no one knows what will happen when they die, an analysis of the world’s top twenty-two religions/nonreligions proves that Christianity gives us the best chance at winning The War.
