Episode #5 “Swimming
Gene Pools”
Broadcasting tonight March 31st,
2014, at 9:30 pm only on LIFE 25
This week on “Books du
Jour,” our guests bring some controversy to the table. Conversations move around such topics
as the 10,000-hours theory that could turn an average athlete into a world
athlete, unless you have the perfect genetic makeup and can bypass the
process.
David Epstein, in “The Sports Gene,” addresses this sort of issues in a highly entertaining book. How much of our genes define our chances to succeed in sports?
David M. Howitt, in
“Heed you Call,” circles back to the hero’s journey as defined by Joseph
Campbell, to show that putting our mind into a specific coveted endeavor may
well yield the results sought after.
Are a strong will and awareness enough to achieve our goals?
Giovanni Frazzetto, in
“Joy, Guilt, Anger, and Love,” looks at the impact of neuroscience on
emotions. Can science really teach
us to better understand ourselves, predict our behaviors and reactions by
looking inside our brain? The best
way to find out the answers to all these tricky questions is to tune in
tonight.
As always we look forward to your feedback
