Does Your Family Make You Smarter? is the new book by IQ expert James R. Flynn

In a provocative new book, the world’s leading expert on IQ, and author of 'Are We Getting Smarter?' shows how our families affect our brain power. Flynn, who is famous for discovering the continued year-after-year increase of IQ scores throughout the world, which is now referred to as ‘the Flynn effect’ – reveals a revolutionary new method for estimating the effects of family on intelligence levels. Tackling the nature vs. nurture debate head on, and banishing the traditional view that by the age of 17 our intelligence is solely determined by our genes, Flynn argues that intelligence is also affected by human autonomy – and that, genetics and family notwithstanding, we all have the capacity to choose to enhance our own IQ.
