Publisher's Summary
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.

Will definitely re-listen / read hard copy
Very easy to follow as a lay person but equally relevant for young scientists alike. The pace and constant pop culture references made it highly enjoyable as well as humorous. I would re-listen or read in hard copy given the pace and required attention. Truly can’t wait to read more from Bill Sullivan he and his lab are doing important work and he communicates it so well.
