Dr. Kevin Leman, author of the bestselling The New Birth Order Book, believes that "childhood memories are even more reliable than birth order as an indicator of 'why you are the way you are.'"

Their own lives, celebrities' lives, and case studies serve as examples to prove the staying power of subconsciously selected recollections.

Leman and Carlson not only show why memories mean so much, but more importantly how to cut them down to size and rewrite your past in order to make the most of your future.
