Publisher Description

Firstborn? Only child? Middle child? Baby of the family? Find out what it means to you, your relationships, and your career. Do you realize that of the first twenty-three astronauts in space, twenty-one were firstborns and the other two were the only child in their family? Are you aware that many successful entrepreneurs are middle children? Is it any surprise that most comedians are the youngest child in their family? It’s all about birth order. Birth order powerfully influences who you are, whom you marry, the job you choose, and the kind of parent you are. And Dr. Kevin Leman’s The Birth Order Book will help you understand yourself, get along better with others, overcome ingrained tendencies you never thought you could get rid of, and be more successful in the workplace. This revised and updated audio edition of Dr. Leman’s classic book includes more than thirty years of experience and research, current examples, and fascinating stories to show how birth order impacts your life. Thousands of people have unlocked the secrets of birth order already. Shouldn’t you be one of them?

    " I applied this book to my family and it largely proved a workable theory. Of course, then my mom got upset with me for giving my younger sister a psychological basis on which to base her feelings of being ignored in the family because she's a middle child... I think it's fascinating. "

    " I found this book extremely interesting, and I like the way it was formatted. There were some chapters I found rather dull, especially the parts on perfectionism, but other wise I thought it was good. "

    " I had a boss recommend this to me. I really enjoyed it. It made me sad and mad sometimes. It was during my "My parents are Crazzy" time of life. There are some interesting things to this book. "

    " I read this before I had kids and it helped me understand my relationships with my siblings, my husband's relationships with his siblings, and then later it helped me to be a more understanding parent to our four children as I saw the same dynamics emerge in their relationships. I don't think I've ever been disappointed by a Kevin Leman book and I've read many of them! "

    " There is definitely something to it, but no one can be completely pegged because there are so many possible variables in every family/home and personal experiences. I did learn a lot and get names and explanations for my own psychology. "

    " I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The author's research and humorous writing were spot on entertaining and accurate. He couldn't have described this only child any better. I now recognize most birth order types by observation. "

    " I read this because I've been trying to figure out my kids, and why some act one way and some act another. I didn't really figure them out, but I enjoyed reading it. Some of the things he cites are interesting, and it was easy to read (i.e. not too technical). "

    " Actually read "the new" version. Lots if words, words, words. Some stuff very revenant but too many factors can change the way you act in your specific environment-dah!! Did a lot of skimming. "

    " This book is all anecdote and no research. Also, the focus is on families with more than two kids which isn't the norm these days. He lumped only-children with the oldest, which felt wrong to me. "

    " I learned a LOT from this; plus the writer is entertaining and I breezed right through it. Just so you know, I am a middle child, but I have some characteristics of a first born because I am the first daughter . . . that explains the nickname my sibs gave me of "Slave Driver" . . . "

    " Very interseting book. I can relate to everything he is saying being first born of four and having three children.I think everyone should read this it helps you to understand who people are and how they're personality traits have evolved due to their birth order. I definitely see the connections. "

    " If you are getting married (or are married) this is one of my top books for premarital counseling. Couples have many issues in marriage and unfortunately they let sex become an issue. This book isn't for the Victorian faint of heart. Well, now that I think of it...it is... "
