Summary:
Do your relationships tend to follow the same destructive pattern?
Have you always enjoyed being the center of attention? Do you feel
trapped by your family's expectations of you? Do you find yourself
sounding more and more like your mother? Or your father? In this
groundbreaking contribution to the "nature vs. nurture" debate,
clinical psychologist Oliver James shows that it is primarily our
first six years of upbringing that determines our behavior as adults.
Nurture, in effect, shapes our very nature. In an entertaining and
informative combination of science and popular culture, James
presents the latest research and revealing case studies of, among
others, George W. Bush, Mia Farrow, Michael Jackson, and Prince
Charles to prove his point. Along the way he provides provocative
questions and examples to help you better understand the impact of
your childhood past and make changes to improve your future. A
bestseller and recipient of significant attention in the U.K., They
F*** You Up is a bold and provocative book which will cause you to
seriously ponder who you are and how you became that way.
