This book could change the way that you look at life

Have you ever wondered why some people who don't seem that intelligent always seem to win while other people that seem like born winners always lose? If you have then this book is for you. Dr. Konner, a renowned behavioral scientist, has developed an explanation of the reason for that phenomenon and has done an excellent job of supporting his thesis. This book can be both life liberating and life enhancing. It can add a new sense of excitement and adventure to your life. Reading it is a great experience and that is just the beginning. There is one quote that sums up the book," First we need to recognize that to no small extent we are who we are when we are conceived."
