NOT IN YOUR GENES: THE REAL REASONS CHILDREN ARE LIKE THEIR PARENTS

Book ID/图书代码： 11340014B74473

English Summary/英文概要： There is a prevailing myth - in both modern society and in modern science - that who we are is largely down to our genetic code. Most of us believe that our personalities, abilities and health are down to a combination of both our upbringing and our natural genetic makeup. Labels we are given as a child (of ’intelligent’, ’slow’ or ’shy’) continue through to our adult years - often holding us back and stopping us from change.

However, in this groundbreaking new book, Oliver James uncovers the truth about genetics: that our genes actually play very little part in shaping who we are. In fact, nearly all of the psychological differences between us are caused by our upbringing and environment, and in disease only a tiny 5-10% of cases are caused by genes. Oliver James not only demonstrates how our past and present affect us and the way we behave, but shows how this opens us up for unexpected opportunities for change.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 不论是在现代社会还是现代科学界，都广泛流传着一种神话传说---我们的基因密码决定了我们究竟是谁。我们中的绝大多数人们都坚信我们的性格、能力及健康均是受我们的成长环境及天生的基因的共同影响而形成。我们在孩提时代被贴上的标签（“聪明”“迟缓”“害羞”）将一直伴随着我们进入成年---甚至有时会阻碍我们的改变。

所幸的是，在这部全新的开创性书籍中，奥利弗•詹姆斯将为我们揭示有关于基因的真相：基因在决定和影响我们成为怎样的人这一过程中，所起的作用实际上是微乎其微的。事实上，几乎我们所有的心理偏差均来自于我们的成长过程及环境影响，而关于疾病，则仅有5-10%的病例是由基因决定的。奥利弗•詹姆斯不仅为我们展示了过去和当下对我们以及我们行为的影响，同时她还为我们展示了这些影响将如何为我们打开意想不到的改变机会。（DC）
