Professor Robert Plomin, the world's leading geneticist, said in 2014 of his search for genes that explain differences in our psychology: 'I have been looking for these genes for fifteen years. I don't have any'. Using a mixture of famous and ordinary people, Oliver James drills deep down into the childhood causes of our individuality, revealing why our upbringing, not our genes, plays such an important role in our wellbeing and success. The implications are huge: as adults we can change, we can clutch our fates from predetermined destiny, as parents we can radically alter the trajectory of our childrens' lives, and as a society we could largely eradicate criminality and poverty. Not in Your Genes will not only change the way you think about yourself and the people around you, but give you the fuel to change your personality and your life for the better.

This book debunks the idea that most of what eventually becomes a human personality is determined genetically. The author picks apart the genetic argument and builds his argument that most of what an individual becomes is the result of the kind of childhood that he or she has had
I have always been doubtful of genetic causes for human behavior. Over my now many decades of life, I have seen countless instances of the lack of any apparent genetic influence on individual behavior. "It's nurture, not nature," is a view that has gotten me into many arguments with friends and others. I'm very glad to see someone put this idea into a book, with solid evidence to back it up.
