Philosophers and theologians have grappled with the mystery of human behavior for centuries--but now, science is revealing startling new insights into what makes us tick. This provocative narrative from Indiana University School of Medicine professor Bill Sullivan explores our behavior through. the lens of genetics, microbiology, psychology, neurology, and family history, revealing the hidden forces that drive our individual natures. A fascinating tour of the factors that shape our actions, moods, tastes, political beliefs, and more, [this book] unveils a surprising truth: that many of our most defining traits emerge from things we can't control, including our genes, our early environment, our evolutionary past, and the microbes that dwell inside us. In these pages, you'll learn the real reasons we struggle with infidelity, weight loss, drugs, and depression; discover the biological differences that may separate liberals and conservatives; discern the forces that shape human attraction; and comprehend your own impulse to extend a helping hand or throw a punch. These trail-blazing insights are sprinkled with pop culture references that elucidate the scientific imperatives behind them. Filled with revolutionary observations, this eye-opening book takes us on a riveting journey that reveals who we are--and how we can become our best selves."--Jacket | ||
