About this listen

Why are you attracted to a certain “type?” Why are you a morning person? Why do you vote the way you do? From a witty new voice in popular science comes a clever, life-changing look at what makes you you.

“I can’t believe I just said that.” “What possessed me to do that?” “What’s wrong with me?”

We’re constantly seeking answers to these fundamental human questions, and now, science has the answers. The foods we enjoy, the people we love, the emotions we feel, and the beliefs we hold can all be traced back to our DNA, germs, and environment. This witty, colloquial book is popular science at its best, describing in everyday language how genetics, epigenetics, microbiology, and psychology work together to influence our personality and actions.

Mixing cutting-edge research and relatable humor, Pleased to Meet Me is filled with fascinating insights that shine a light on who we really are - and how we might become our best selves.

This book covers everything you need to know about you and how you function. It also covers the scientific breakthroughs and the boundaries being pushed to tackle diseases and many other conditions to make us happier and healthier humans. I really loved this book as it was easy to understand and very relevant to the world we live in today and the small changes that could benefit us all. Reread and will continue to reread this book!

Managed 60% before getting tired of one sided views without critical thinking. The narrator's voice would be better suited to fiction.
