The culmination of that research is this provocative book, \u003ci\u003eLiving with Our Genes\u003c\/i\u003e. In it, Dr. Hamer reveals that much of our behavior--how much we eat and weigh, whether we drink or use drugs, how often we have sex--is heavily influenced by genes. His findings help explain why one brother becomes a Wall Street trader, while his sibling remains content as a librarian, or why some people like to bungee-jump, while others prefer Scrabble. Dr. Hamer also sheds light on some of the most compelling and vexing aspects of personality, such as shyness, aggression, depression, and intelligence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In the tradition of the bestselling book \u003ci\u003eListening to Prozac\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLiving with Our Genes\u003c\/i\u003e is the first comprehensive investigation of the crucial link between our DNA and our behavior. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Compulsive reading, reminiscent of Jared Diamond, from a scientist who knows his stuff and communicates it well.\"\u003ci\u003e--Kirkus Reviews \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"A pioneer in the field of molecular psychology, Hamer is exploring the role genes play in governing the very core of our individuality.
