Medicine has recently discovered spectacular tools for human enhancement. Yet to date, it has failed to use them well, in part because of ethical objections. Meanwhile, covert attempts flourish to enhance with steroids, mind-enhancing drugs, and cosmetic surgery—all largely unstudied scientifically. The little success to date has been sporadic and financed privately. In How to Build a Better Human, prominent bioethicist Gregory E. Pence argues that people, if we are careful and ethical, can use genetics, biotechnology, and medicine to improve ourselves, and that we should publicly study what people are doing covertly. Pence believes that we need to transcend the two common frame stories of bioethics: bioconservative alarmism and uncritical enthusiasm, and that bioethics should become part of the solution—not the problem—in making better humans.

A top behavioral geneticist argues DNA inherited from our parents at conception can predict our psychological strengths and weaknesses. This “modern classic” on genetics and nature vs. nurture is “one of the most direct and unapologetic takes on the topic ever written” (Boston Review). In Blueprint, behavioral geneticist Robert Plomin describes how the DNA revolution has made DNA personal by giving us the power to predict our psychological strengths and weaknesses from birth. A century of genetic research shows that DNA differences inherited from our parents are the consistent lifelong sources of our psychological individuality—the blueprint that makes us who we are. Plomin reports that genetics explains more about the psychological differences among people than all other factors combined. Nature, not nurture, is what makes us who we are. Plomin explores the implications of these findings, drawing some provocative conclusions—among them that parenting styles don't really affect children's outcomes once genetics is taken into effect. This book offers readers a unique insider’s view of the exciting synergies that came from combining genetics and psychology.

Your Divine Human Blueprint is the Definitive guide to working with the quantum field using your golden rings 'halo' as an access point to shifting the way things show up for you and your clients friends in less than optimal, to transforming each challenging situation for the better. 2008 was a pivotal year for me as I had reached my max on health and mental emotional challenges. I struggle with life and death and wanted more, better, and a life I wanted to live not just survive. I in the previous years had had 19 surgeries, 2 kinds of cancer; I experienced 2 traumatic brain injuries and died twice. I also had significant exposure to atomic radiation through underground governmental bomb testing in the Nevada desert as a young girl and had experience brutal assault. Whew...just writing this down makes me wonder how I was strong enough to rise above this and get through it, but I remember my incredible will driving me to stay, telling the angel of death, no I'm not going with you and pushing myself back into my body after death to return to a pain filled sick body. That year, I had a realization, I was promised the Garden of Eden, yet I was living in hell on earth. I wanted more, better and to experience the life I had been promised. So I, like Buddha, went to my Bodhi tree, and begin to chant and pray for a miracle. Take me of make me well now God. I saw the master cell in my mind's eye (this is a very powerful stem cell having the directions for how everything formed inn my body, with me from birth). As I observed this master cell it began to transform from very weak and sick, almost not functioning at all to a healthy brilliant cell and finally reach its God state where it became a pulsing blue orb. Oh my precious Lord, this was such an amazing and glorious phenomena to witness in myself, words cannot adequately describe the awe and absolute wonder of this grace filled moment. This work is of course for everyone. I, having been brought up Christian remembered and important quote from Lord Jesus as he spoke to his disciples: " these and even greater works then these you shall also do." I had chosen a life of pain and suffering so I could understand the depth of human suffering and then in an instant chosen to remember the miraculous system I came with, ask for help and in that moment, was completely ready and willing to receive and to transform into a healthy woman. Transformation, a tremendous quantum shift was happening within me from that moment on. The serve pain left my body, I had more access to my legs, and I could return to walking with ease, than running and dancing, things the medical community had felt would be impossible for me in my condition. The folks in my life at the time who had the PhD's in science and medicine were asking how is this happening. How are you doing this? They were watching me grow healthier stronger and younger. And thus both an apprentice program and this guide book were developed to share everything I could see and translate for science and humankind. I wrote this book over 2 years, a majority of it was written on the beaches of Mexico in an 11 week period. I write about many things, and have continued through the years to write and teach about as much as I could get out, and imagine I will do so for many years to come. So many people tell me they read the book through, and then read it again and again, each time through it feels new and they comprehend deeper levels of the teaching. That is the way my teachings work, you will always go deeper as you repeat the processes, and reread the pages. I hope this book will open your eyes to the truth of many misnomers and untruths that unfortunately have been taught and retaught for years, incorrectly or only with partial truth. With greatest love and respect, Julie Renee

"A dazzlingly erudite synthesis of history, philosophy, anthropology, genetics, sociology, economics, epidemiology, statistics, and more" (Frank Bruni, The New York Times), Blueprint shows why evolution has placed us on a humane path -- and how we are united by our common humanity. For too long, scientists have focused on the dark side of our biological heritage: our capacity for aggression, cruelty, prejudice, and self-interest. But natural selection has given us a suite of beneficial social features, including our capacity for love, friendship, cooperation, and learning. Beneath all of our inventions -- our tools, farms, machines, cities, nations -- we carry with us innate proclivities to make a good society. In Blueprint, Nicholas A. Christakis introduces the compelling idea that our genes affect not only our bodies and behaviors, but also the ways in which we make societies, ones that are surprisingly similar worldwide. With many vivid examples -- including diverse historical and contemporary cultures, communities formed in the wake of shipwrecks, commune dwellers seeking utopia, online groups thrown together by design or involving artificially intelligent bots, and even the tender and complex social arrangements of elephants and dolphins that so resemble our own -- Christakis shows that, despite a human history replete with violence, we cannot escape our social blueprint for goodness. In a world of increasing political and economic polarization, it's tempting to ignore the positive role of our evolutionary past. But by exploring the ancient roots of goodness in civilization, Blueprint shows that our genes have shaped societies for our welfare and that, in a feedback loop stretching back many thousands of years, societies are still shaping our genes today.

Is it right to use biomedical technologies to make us better than well or even perhaps better than human? Should we view our biology as fixed or should we try to improve on it? College students are already taking cognitive enhancement drugs. The U.S. army is already working to develop drugs and technologies to produce "super soldiers." Scientists already know how to use genetic engineering techniques to enhance the strength and memories of mice and the application of such technologies to humans is on the horizon. In Better Than Human, philosopher-bioethicist Allen Buchanan grapples with the ethical dilemmas of the biomedical enhancement revolution. Biomedical enhancements can make us smarter, have better memories, be stronger, quicker, have more stamina, live much longer, avoid the frailties of aging, and enjoy richer emotional lives. In spite of the benefits that biomedical enhancements may bring, many people instinctively reject them. Some worry that we will lose something important-our appreciation for what we have or what makes human beings distinctively valuable. Others assume that biomedical enhancements will only be available to the rich, with the result that social inequalities will worsen. Buchanan shows that the debate over enhancement has been distorted by false assumptions and misleading rhetoric. To think clearly about enhancement, we have to acknowledge that human nature is a mixed bag and that our species has many "design flaws." We should be open be open to the possibility of becoming better than human, while never underestimating the risks that our attempts to improve may back-fire.

The tech revolution will hit us all soon. How can any organisation survive and thrive? Headlines predict that whole industries will be decimated by Artificial Intelligence and automation. Some bosses and bankers are rubbing their hands at the prospect of cost savings and staff cuts. But there is another way. New technology can also empower teams, fuel creativity and make people happier. At Simply Business, twice voted the UK’s best company to work for, big data and automated systems are being harnessed to generate positive growth, staff are currently trialling a four-day week in their Northampton office. In this bold blueprint, CEO Jason Stockwood – named by the Sunday Times as the UK’s best leader – shows how any organisation can think freshly and benefit from technology by putting its people first.
