their years, while others, on the contrary, seem younger than they really are? Why do the shocks experienced in childhood and youth become an integral part of the human organism and grow into diseases by adulthood? Four outstanding scientists—Jay Belsky, Avshalom Caspi, Terrie Moffitt, and Richie Poulton—who are researchers of several major longitudinal studies on human health and development answered these and other questions. «Are we all really products of our childhood?» is the main question that prompted the scientists to observe more than 4,000 individuals from infancy to adulthood. The results of the study proved: childhood is the most important stage in a person's life path, but each of us has the opportunity to change the direction of this influence. The best thing we can do for this is to scientifically understand how childhood traits transform into adult life traits.
