Coming June 24, 2024
For greater well-being, we must adapt our modern lifestyle and live in harmony with our natural and evolutionary selves.
While giving many benefits, modern society also brings many detriments to our physical, mental, and cultural health. However, with a better understanding of our primal selves—that is largely encoded into our DNA—we can find healthy ways to live with all the wonders of our civilization.
On the Origins of Being outlines the misalignments between our genetic design and modern lifestyle that reduce our well-being and even cause disease. Jenny Powers, PhD in immunology, and Luke Comer, author and producer, pay homage to Charles Darwin by investigating the evolution of many human behaviors. They identify the origins of these behaviors in the single-cell organisms of billions of years ago and then trace them through primates, hominoids, and up the evolutionary chain to modern humans. They then demonstrate how to realign ourselves to enjoy more vital, loving, and robust lives here and now.
On the Origins of Being, book one of a three-part series, addresses four behaviors that are most significant to our health: sleep, nutrition, work and rest and our relationship with nature.
