the secret Power of
middle children
How middleborns can Harness their unexpected
and Remarkable abilities
seventy million americans are middle children—many of whom are under the
mistaken notion that they are destined to be forgotten underachievers.
by drawing on evolutionary biology, psychology, and sociology, birth order
researcher catherine salmon, Ph.D., and journalist katrin schumann use a
combination of research and real-life stories, both past and present, to paint a
true portrait of the siblings that grow up in between. their surprising findings
cover issues ranging from financial and psychological stability to community
involvement and parenting.
“Powerful advice . . . anchored in hard science and illuminated by vivid
case examples.” —David M. Buss, author of Evolutionary Psychology
“Entertaining and provocative.”
—Frank J. Sulloway, author of Born to Rebel
