So true and the reasons why some make it and some don't. Birth Order has a huge impact and circumstances that people have no control over.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not Great but Still Insightful
*by D***N on August 8, 2013*

In this book the author makes a really good attempt to explain how lifes events determine who we become. He uses really good examples and makes the book easy to read however he never specifically states his position on what he believes influences our outcome in life. There are a lot of "guesses" and statements about how we can never be sure that had 1 small event not happened that things wouldn't be different. I personally feel like I knew that prior to reading the book, that any one thing can change your entire lifes path. I was looking for the author to make a theory and prove it, or lead in one direction. I respect that he did not pretend to have the answer but I think this book missed the mark on what I was looking for. I will say however that the examples of how different siblings are and how they were raised and the changes within the families during certain stages of life did help me to form my own theory on how society and family influence who we ultimately become.
