The Birth Order Book by Dr. Kevin Leman




This book is interesting. The first thing that I did when I saw the book was to flip to the page/chapter that talks about last borns - of which I am. Imagine the fun when in that first page of the chapter itself, he recognised what I did (flip to the chapter that talks about you before you read anything else) as the youngest born trait.

I didn't read the whole book - too tedious for my unpredictable schedule. Only had time to devour some chapters or rather sub-chapters. It's not your thing if you don't like reading human behaviour. However, it'd still be a good eye opener because now you know why some people act in certain ways - that you cannot stand sometimes.

I took interest in the book because it's not about personality profiling. It helps me love a little bit more of who I am and thank God for making me, me. For the last born, getting approval from others is like a life-long mission. It's my struggle to be accepted. I'm not over with that yet, there are still other issues that I guess through time and with God's grace I can overcome. Now, I just need to learn to love me.

The author didn't go too deep that the reader cannot understand or find overwhelming. Easy reading book and a must if you haven't read a book of similar kind!
