What are the causes of our individuality? What is the part of our genes? What is the part of our upbringing? Yes, it’s a new take on that old chestnut: nature or nurture?
In his latest book, Not in Your Genes – the real reasons children are like their parents, psychologist, documentary producer, and author of numerous best-selling books, including They **** You Up, Oliver James drills deep down into the childhood causes of our individuality. He shows that, as adults, we can change. We can reclaim our fate from a notionally predetermined destiny. And as parents, we can radically alter the trajectory of our children’s lives. And as a society, we could largely eradicate criminality and poverty! Really?
