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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePlomin 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book offers readers a unique insider's view of the exciting synergies that came from combining genetics and psychology.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobert Plomin is Professor of Behavioural Genetics at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology, and Neuroscience at King's College London.
