Judith Rich Harris, 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 behaviour? The search leads Judith Harris into fascinating byways of science - from classic experiements in social psychology to cutting-edge research in neuroscience, from studies of twins to observations of chimpanzees, birds and even ants. And Harris's solution is a startlingly original one: the first completely new theory of personality since Freud's. This is the story of a scientific quest but it is also the personal story of a courageous and innovative woman who refused to be satisfied with "what everyone knows is true".
