About this listen

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 23 astronauts in space, 21 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 30 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?

Fair advice

He rambles on a bit about his own life. The parenting and marriage advice are common sense but reasonable it is more of an overview that does not get too in-depth he has some questionable references which he talks about with respect such as the Portillo Iacocca and Dobson just Google those names for the controversies

Great book to understand yourself

I like the book because it helps understand about why we behave certain way and how environment or surroundings can modify such behavior.

Fascinating read

As a third born girl who has way too many “moms”, I found this book fascinating. I feel a lot of empathy towards my first born sister. She has so many rules that she lives by I know it’s exhausting for her. I also have more sympathy towards my husband who is a first born. I thank him a lot more for all the help he does around the house. I will definitely bring reading more books from this author.

Interesting concepts, generally correct

Good and important topics but probably stretched out to fill a book's length. I'd recommend skipping to the parts you're interested in.
