Born to rebel
Book • 1996
Frank Sulloway's "Born to Rebel" explores the relationship between birth order and personality traits, particularly focusing on the tendency towards rebelliousness and innovation.
Sulloway argues that later-born children, due to their need to compete for parental attention and resources, are more likely to develop traits such as openness to experience and a willingness to challenge established norms.
This, he suggests, contributes to their greater likelihood of making significant contributions to fields like science and politics.
The book's analysis of historical figures supports this claim, sparking debate on the influence of birth order on individual development.
