The Secret Power of Middle Children

We all know the stereotype: middle children are wallflowers, overshadowed by their siblings and neglected by their parents, and they turn into resentful, bitter adults. But if that is true, why are so many middle children throughout history—from Abraham Lincoln to Donald Trump and Madonna—wildly successful? This counterintuitive book combines science, history and real-life stories to reveal for the first time that our perception of middle children is dead wrong.

Mothers Need Time-Outs Too

Modern mothers are trying to be everything to everyone, and it's not doing anyone any good. The battle is no longer working mothers vs. stay-at-home moms, feminists vs. traditionalists, or alpha moms vs. beta moms... the battle is inside us.

I was born in Germany but grew up largely in London and studied Modern Languages (European Literature) at Oxford University. I speak German and French fluently and am well equipped to work on projects that deal with cultural issues. I received my Master's in Communication (Journalism) from Stanford University, where I focused on feature articles and profiles.
