Mean Genes: From Sex to Money to Food: Taming Our Primal Instincts

by Terry Burnham & Jay Phelan

Buy on Amazon

I read the book once when it came out. Since then I’ve had the chance to reread it a few times, discovering more and more layers as my interests take me in new directions (for instance the discussion on the happiness treadmill goes to the core of the current discussions in the economics of happiness). I now carry a copy on my trips as I can kill time in airports by perusing random sections. The book is so readable as to perhaps set a standard.
