"This book had a profound impact on me that I never could have anticipated. . . . It''s a compelling and beautifully written story, interwoven with fascinating, cutting-edge research. What I didn''t expect was what I''d learn about myself. In our culture we spend so much time examining the ways our parents influence us that we miss a force that''s at least as significant. While immersed in The Sibling Effect, I went back in time, reexamined my own life, this time looking through a new lens. It was a revelation."

"Jeffrey Kluger integrates the latest research and brings his own fresh thinking to an ancient topic: sibling relationships. He weaves his own sibling experiences into his rich, insightful text. As with all good storytellers, Kluger''s stories are sad/happy and heartbreaking/glorious. "The Sibling Effect" is for anyone who has ever wondered, ''Why can''t I get along with my siblings?'' or ''Why are we so different?'' or ''How did my relationships with my siblings shape my personality?'' I suspect that is most of us."
