Summary: So that's what's wrong w/ your sibling¿
Comment: If you ever wondered why your older sister screamed at you for misplacing her nail polish or why your bratty little brother couldn't sit still at the dinner table, the two of you would do well to read this book. Author and psychologist Kevin Leman, a last born child, investigates the psychology of birth order, which deems that our sex and where we fall among our siblings can have profound affects on our attitudes and behavior. He provides plenty of examples from his own family and ensures that you aren't the only one who thinks your siblings need straightening out.
The whys of each "birth order," i.e. first born, middle child, last born, only child, are examined. First borns and only children, for example, can be pressured from a young age to act as little adults because they don't have the benefit of interaction with siblings. Hence, they often fill leadership positions. Middle children prove to be great mediators because they have learned to juggle the extremes of older and younger siblings, while last borns capitalize on the mistakes of their older brothers and sisters.
This book is an amusing yet insightful read. In addition to explaining "why you are the way you are," Leman suggests how we can adopt the positive qualities of other birth orders to make our lives more enjoyable and fulfilling. As he carefully points out, birth order psychology is not a sure bet on everyone you encounter in life, but what you pick up from his book will leave you with some pretty good guesses.

Summary: Understand your family & your spouse to be...
Comment: We used this book as one of the textbooks for my family counseling class in college. It really helps you understand why you are the way you are and why your siblings are CRAZY! ;)
i'm a BABY and proud of it, WOOHOO! i have a lot of dr. leman books, but this one is my favorite because he goes indepth on a topic he knows A LOT about and discusses some good ol' adler with meaning for today. BUY IT NOW, then buy the real you, then ANY of his 'how to' about kids books, then buy sex begins in the kitchen! (or better yet, buy me that one, i still don't have it)
