This book is a phenomenal resource!! I have bought and given away more copies of this book than I care to count. It is very helpful in understanding people and why they do what they do. It's a great parenting book to understanding kids. According to your birth order it explains how each and everyone is different, yet explains some similarities and also points out weaknesses and helps. It is written in an easy format to read and the humor is cute. Although most of his points hit true, you will see some cross overs from 1st to 2nd to 3rd children. In general, it hits straight on and really makes you think. It has been a huge help in relating to personalities that are so different than mine. That being said, can you guess where "I" fall in the birth order? (If you guessed 1st born, baby - you'd be right. I am the baby, but the first born girl) You need to read this book more than once! Enjoy!!Read full review

The book is right on. I found myself immediately, and with little exception I am the Firstborn as laid out in the book. Also got a clearer insight as to why I am who I am. I would recommend this book to anyone who is searching for answers. I found myself comparing the personality traits of others with whom I am acquainted to those listed in the book and they are pretty much on target. Very interesting and easy read. Keeps one's interest.
This book has helped me to better understand all of my children, and my husband, their strengths and weaknesses, and how to better parent them! It is a wonderful insight into "Why we are the way we are". If you are a first-born who marries a baby of the family, you might have little patience for how unorganized your spouse is! If you are a baby of the family (like me) who is trying hard to parent a strong-willed first born (like me) this book will give you greater insight into how their attitudes are formed. Highly recommended for parents, spouses, ANYONE!
