Have you ever wondered why you prefer to curl up at night with a good book while your flatmate prefers to go out on the town? Why your brother is a dashing Don Juan but you always end up as the party wallflower? Why you find the silver lining to every cloud but your colleague always seems to have a cloud hanging over his head? Why neither you nor your mother can ever shed those last ten pounds, or even why you literally cannot function in the morning until you've had that first cup of coffee?
This book proves beyond a doubt that at birth we are programmed to behave the way we do.
