Review
"Once again, [Harris] looks likely to generate a lot of heat with her ideas about how we become not like our parents, or our peers, or even our identical twin, but like, well, ourselves." Liz Else, New Scientist"
Product Description
The author of the controversial "The Nurture Assumption" tackles the biggest mystery of psychology: What makes people differ so much in personality and behaviour? The search leads Judith Rich Harris into fascinating byways of science - from classic experiments in social psychology to cutting-edge research in neuroscience, from studies of twins to studies of ants. And Harris' solution is startlingly original: the first completely new theory of personality since Freud's. This is the story of a scientific quest, but it is also the story of a courageous woman who refused to be satisfied with "what everyone knows is true".
