The Secret Power Of Middle Children: How Middleborns Can Harness Their Unexpected And RemarkableAbilities (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
My interest in birth order developed because I kept noticing similarities between people that were of the same birth order. I am a middle born (2 older and 2 younger sisters) so my curiosity was spiked when I found this book. The author convinced me birth order has influence over your entire life from interaction with siblings and parents, handling of intimate relationships, to parenting. The real life examples of very famous middle borns like Abraham Lincoln added impact and understanding.I not only recommend this book for middle kids but for anyone who's interested in learning more about the effect birth order has in their lives. This book was really interesting! I don't always self-identify myself as a middle child. Even though I'm the 2nd of 7, I am the oldest girl and so I often classify myself as an oldest child along with my brother. But, I found this book really insightful. I feel like I do have a better understanding of my personality: both strengths and weaknesses after reading it. If you're a middle child or are involved with a middle child in some way (spouse, children, friend, etc), I think you'd find it insightful and enjoyable. Go middle children!

Mostly skimmed it. Was good but a little too scientific repetitive for me.
