Blueprint
How DNA Makes Us Who We Are (The MIT Press)
Robert Plomin
Discover the groundbreaking work of Robert Plomin, a leading behavioral geneticist, as he explains how our DNA inherited from our parents at the moment of conception can predict our psychological strengths and weaknesses from birth. In his book Blueprint, Plomin draws on a century of genetic research to show that genetics explains more of our psychological differences than any other factor. He explores the implications of this, concluding that nature, not nurture, is what makes us who we are. This game-changing book offers readers a unique insider's view, combining genetics and psychology to unlock the secrets of what makes us truly individual.

An important book, but sad that The Guardian's headline completely misses the point of Plomin's careful work and casts the discussion in terms of binaries (nature rather than nurture) rather than both, interacting in complex ways... – source2018-12-31T21:52:31.000Z
