Mean Genes: From Sex to Money to Food - Taming Our Primal Instincts

In Mean Genes, economist Terry Burnham and biologist Jay Phelan explore why we are drawn to behaviors that can harm us, from overeating and overspending to infidelity. Shaped by a past of scarcity, our survival-minded genes are not always suited to modern life. The authors explain how understanding our biology can help us manage these instincts and build better habits. Lively and humorous, this guide to our evolutionary heritage shows how to work with our genes before they work against us. Mai mult
