Pleasers
Dr. Kevin Leman

Revell, 2007

Very Strong Offering beneficial to Many
Dr Leman is best known for his book regarding birth order and its effect upon personality and characteristics and so I expected this book to be good and I was not disappointed. It is ironic, but the fact is that many underachievers are in fact not lazy, but people capable of excellence who have determined on some level that it is safer to gaurd against being judged by others by engineering ...

Discovering the Habits that I needed to break...
Dr. Leman, in his typical witty way, gets right to the heart of the problem- and talks right to me! I was confronted in my patterns of being a Pleaser, which only allowed me to feel comfortable with controllers.

What A Difference
I recently saw Dr. Kevin Leman on Fox and Friends and I immediately went out and bought Have A New Kid By Friday. After reading this book, the whole atmosphere in my house has changed. I used to have kids who were disrespectful, and mouthy, but now I have kids who listen to me-- I almost fell over the other day when my son asked me what he could do to help. I liked the book so much that I am ...

Be Your Own Shrink
Dr. Kevin Leman

Revell, 2006

"I believe personality makeovers are just as possible as appearance makeovers," claims birth order guru Dr. Kevin Leman. In Be Your Own Shrink, he describes four personality indicators (birth order, personality types, childhood memories, and love languages) to help readers develop positive habits, use self-talk to work through tough times, marshal their imaginative energy, and more. Once readers understand their strengths, their weaknesses, ...

Firstborn Advantage, The: Making Your Birth Order Work for You
Dr. Kevin Leman

Revell, 2008

Firstborns were born to win. Clearly the natural movers, shakers, and leaders of this world, they can accomplish anything they set their minds to. They're the high achievers, the benchmark-setters, the business moguls, the concert violinists, the heads of the PTA. But if they're out of balance, they can be overly perfectionistic, driven, and critical. They can become controllers (everything has to go their way) or pleasers (exhausting themselves ...

Say Good-bye to Stress

Revell, 2002

A boring read
This book is tedious to read. The help it gives is mediocure and common sense. It basically is that inorder to combat stress you have to priotize, and choose what is important to you. You dont need to read 12 chapters to learn this from this book. I feel it could of been said in two chapters. The author's other books are better, especially "Sheet Music".

The Real You: Becoming the Person You Want to Be

5 reviews
Dr. Kevin Leman

Revell, 2004

An outstanding, illuminating and accessible book.
I don't usually read self-knowledge/self-help books, and even more rarely finish them. The genre tends to suffer from poor writing, overuse of jargon, academic axe-grinding, and the smug tendency of the authors to try and jam you into their pet, pigeon-holed theories. (I wonder how many of those authors are first-borns, and if that's part of the problem for this last-born son?) I found "The Real ...

My Middle Child, There's No One Like You (Birth Order Books)

Middle child LOVES
I bought this book and the other two for the youngest and oldest children. The other two like it well enough, but for the middle child...so special! She loves reading it night after night and even sleeps with it. I would highly recommend this for the middle child.

See the World from the Feelings of your Child
Dr. Leman helped me see the possible feelings and thoughts that my children may be having in certain situations. He not only writes from the perspective of the parents, but also from the children. He provides examples of how parents typically respond and then provides alternatives that are more healthy and relationship-building. No matter what your situation, children need love, an ...

The Birth Order Connection: Finding and Keeping the Love of Your Life

Kevin Leman, Kevin, Dr. Leman

Revell, 2001

Not all theories have graphs
This book is life-changing. Maybe Dr. Leman's theories aren't backed by numerical data, but let's not forget--not all data can be gauged in graphs or contained in charts. In fact, Leman's opinions are backed by something more solid than statistics: his wealth of experience with the human condition. He has counseled virtually thousands of couples and thus lays claim to a vast understanding of ...

My Only Child, There's No One Like You (Birth Order Books)

1 review
Dr. Kevin Leman, KevinII Leman

Revell, 2005

Cute and unique book for only children and parents
There are so few books that focus on only children FOR only children. This is a keeper. It's a very thoughtful story about an only bear cub and his parents and how it's okay to be an only child and that doesn't make the child weird. The only reason I gave it 4 stars was because the author, while a guru on birth order, may have put too much emphasis on NOT having a sibling, versus the situation ...
