Ugh, I could hardly stand to listen to this long enough to be able to leave this review. It was so cringey. It struck me as a narcissist, gaslighting his readers into believing he knows what he’s talking about. Not only is author is condescending, but he frequently gives these narrative examples….lets say your kid came to you and said [this], instead of saying ‘that’s the dumbest idea I’ve ever heard’ or ‘you must be really dumb,’ try saying ‘tell me more about that.’ Any parent who actually spoke to their child like this would not be the kind of parent that would listen to this book. Then in chapter 2, he references the bonus material at the end that you have to skip to and listen before going to chapter 3. The bonus material is all about his other book about birth order. The birth order chapter was complete garbage and not at all representative of any family I’ve ever met. First born this, second born that. I did not find one shred of useful information in this book, and he especially lost me when he mentioned his wife was ‘lucky to be married to him’ for 47 years.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
