What an amazing book. I don't often use the term 'life-changing,' but Quirk is. I read this book and a light went on. Suddenly, I understand the people around me. To learn that we are motivated by the same basic brain chemicals and structures as mice is oddly, profoundly, liberating.
Mary Roach, author of Stiff and Packing for Mars
With her typical charm, curiosity, and ability to make complex science accessible and amusing, Hannah Holmes now turns her attention to the quirks of our personalities. What a wonderfully engaging way to navel-gaze.
Joanne Manaster, joannelovesscience.com
At long last! I expect Hannah Holmes' delightful new book to usher in - finally - a science-based approach to thinking about how and why individuals differ, and to usher out the widespread nonsense that has for far too long passed as a personality psychology.
