Pleased to Meet Me: Genes, Germs, and the Curious Forces That Make Us Who We Are Free Audiobook Download by Bill Sullivan

A few days ago, I was walking out of work at the local grocery store when I saw a woman hunched over a cart. I stopped to help her push it. She looked up and said, "Thank you." It seems innocuous enough, but I recognized that this moment had the power to change my life for good. A few days later, I decided to go on a diet and get a little healthier. The only problem? It's hard to stick to diets when you're constantly deprived of food options or overwhelmed by choices. So how do you make sure you don not miss out on all your favorite foods while still losing weight?

Bill Sullivan's book, Pleased to Meet Me is an entertaining and educational read. It illustrates how genes, germs, and other factors in our environment make us what we are today - something for which we need not feel embarrassed about. The author also makes a very convincing argument that our history is much more complicated and amazing than we tend to think it is.

When interviewed for the book, Bill Sullivan was asked to explain his concept of the "germ" or "genes" that he believes make humans what they are today. He described his theory as a combination of genes with those found in animals and other beings that have increased during their evolution.

'Alex Boyles', a pseudonym, is the narrator of the book. He provides a detailed story about the human body and explores the idea that our genes are no longer the only determining factors in who we are. The narrator talks about how society's view on health and wellness has changed from blaming genes for our illnesses to recognizing environmental factors as being just as important to who we are.

The book starts by making the case for genes and how they mostly have a controlling effect upon who we are. It goes on to discuss about how our parents, grandparents, country of origin and other factors have an effect on the person we become.

This is a biography of famous scientist and microbiologist, Edward T. Lewis, and his discovery of the relationship between germs and disease. Throughout his life, Lewis was always curious about how genes made humans who they are. The first half of this book is historical information about the discovery of genes, as well as the theories it spawned on society. The second half of the book deals with the personal life of Dr. Lewis and his family relationships.
