The Birth Order Book: Why You Are the Way You Are Audiobook

" 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. "

" If you ever wondered why you were the black sheep in the family, this book explains it all. "

" 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. "

" Author is very funny. You understand your own relationships with your siblings, partner, and see why your children act the way they do! "

" 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. "

" Great book for self-discovery as well as a parenting aide. "

" Read this before and once again, I picked up insights into birth order and people bahavior that are helpful in the work place, at home, etc. "

" 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 learned I had traits of a first-born, rather than the middle child....go figure! "

" 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. "

" A fun read--some of it was too close for comfort, others a bit far-fetched. "

" This was both really fascinating and helpful. "

" Another great book by Dr. Leman. Good advice for raising kids, and keeping your relationship with each one special and unique. "

" Just trying different non fiction audio books available through Overdrive, great book. "

" 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 one identifys the dynamics amongst siblings..amazing how your birth order impacts you and your childs personality. "

" Good insights into how our birth order into a family affects our lives and decisions. Especially good if read with an eye to better balance our lives. Useful for mothers of children too! "

" Is not a perfect book but gives insight into why we fit (or don't!) with others. "

" 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. "

" remarkably fun, interesting, and easy-to-read "

" 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. "

" I read this book for Sunday school. It's not the type of book I would normally choose to read, but I enjoyed it anyway. I felt like Leman was a little hard on only children, but maybe that's because I'm an only! "

" This is one of the most powerful and important books I have ever read!! "

" I love having this book around it's nice to reference. It's fun and funny to recognize yourself and your traits. "

" A most read for any couple. "

" Good book to read for married or about to be married couples. Leman truly believes that a satisfying sex life in the context of marriage will make people better spouses and better people. "

" excellent book. I think it is a great read for any married couple or anyone about to be married. "

" Great book for married couples! I'm having my husband read it next. I like that it gets you to think about things within your relationship, to think about different ideas, and just to think about sex more. Very interesting! "

" a really great, ground-breaking book on Christian married sexuality. This is a book that frees up couples to play, push boundaries, and have a really awesome, hot time in the marriage bed. Highly recommended. "

" A great book for couples. It would be a good resource for engaged couples as well. "

" Really good! One of the best marriage books we read! He has a very "down to earth" explanation style, which Josh and i both really liked. "

" 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... "
