Description
The author of the controversial book The Nurture Assumption tackles the biggest mystery in all of psychology: What makes people differ so much in personality and behavior? And if psychologists can’t explain why identical twins are different, they also can’t explain why each of us differs from everyone else. Based on a principle of evolutionary psychology?the idea that the human mind is a toolbox of special-purpose devices?Harris’s theory explains how attributes we all have in common can make us different.
