Product Description

"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, their predispositions, the forces of nature, and how their family background shaped them into the people they are, they can build on who they are and become their personal best. Dr. Leman will show them how! Previously published as The Real You Revell, 0-8007-5812-9

Customer Reviews

Loved this book!
This book was my first book by Kevin Leman.
It came at the perfect time in my life and helped me a great deal. I dare to say that this is one of the best "self-help" books I've read on the subject. It made so much sense! I was reading the book and thinking to myself: this is me, this is my brother, this is my friend J and her sister, etc.
And I loved how Dr. Leman was able to explain complicated issues in simple terms and straight to the point.

By the end of the book I feel I learned to see the people I know/love a little different and I also learn to understand them (and myself) better.
Thank you Dr. Leman for your great advice and good sense of humor :)
I highly recommend this book and wish I had his books around when I was raising my children.

Be your own Shrink
I would sugguest you save your money and buy the Birth Order book. This book is a rehash of that work plus an amalgamation of Gary Chapman's book The Five Languages of Love. I wonder if this book isn't a reponse to Leman's publisher to "give us one more book". I am disappointed when books are restatements from previous works and this is that kind of book.
Save your money.
