QuickRead presents a summary of "Too Much of a Good Thing" by Lee Goldman:

A radical explanation for how our bodies are turning against us and why we experience modern ailments like obesity, high blood pressure, and anxiety.

What do you consider your "good" genes? Many believe their best genes are the ones that make them thin and have a calm, cheery disposition; however, Dr. Goodman suggests that our best genes are those that make us fat, anxious and cause high blood pressure. While we have inherited a myriad of genes that have allowed us to survive for the past hundreds of thousand years, our bodies are beginning to turn on us. Our survivor genes have begun to make us overweight, experience high-blood-pressure, and influence our crippling anxiety and depression. Throughout Too Much of a Good Thing, Dr. Goodman introduces the genetic side of why we experience obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, mental illness, heart disease, and stroke at a shockingly growing rate.
