Synopsis
Winifred Gallagher explores the cutting-edge research from geneticists, neuroscientists, and primatologists to uncover the secrets of human individuality. This book reveals how we are born with unique temperaments, a mind-body identity that is both psychological and physiological. While acknowledging our genetic roots, Gallagher emphasizes the powerful and malleable role of environment in shaping who we become. Discover how life experiences can literally alter our nervous systems, giving us a 'second nature' that complements our inborn tendencies.
