From the Publisher:
Your birth order -- whether you were born first (or are an only child,) or second, in your family -- powerfully influences what kind of person you are, who you marry, the job you choose. Now you can discover: How to pick out the first born in any group. Why the baby in the family gets away with everything. How to help middle children feel less squeezed and more loved. Ways to overcome your worst inborn tendencies. Which career suits you best. How to make the perfect marriage match and much, much more... You've seen him on television and heard him on the radio. Now internationally known psychologist Kevin Leman reveals an exciting new way to better understand yourself and those you love.
"Forget astrology. The fresh, new karmic aid for picking friends and lovers is birth order... a funny, and sometimes not so funny, look at the effect siblings, or the lack of them, have in shaping a person." -- Chicago Sun-Times
From the Back Cover:
First born? 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 first borns and the other two were an only child in their family? Did you know that first borns are natural leaders? They are our CEOs and presidents. Were you aware that many entrepreneurs, like Donald Trump and Bill Gates, are middle children? Ever wonder how it is that your show-off kid sister became the top salesperson in her company? It's also no coincidence that comedians Billy Crystal, Drew Carey, and Steve Martin are all the youngest of their sex in their family. It's all about birth order. Birth order powerfully influences who you are, who you marry, the job you choose, and the kind of parent you are. With insight and wit, Dr. Leman's classic 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.
