As a left-handed person, I recommend this book to anyone who is left-handed or has any relatives or children who are left-handed. The things Coren discovered about left-handedness and how it effects the brain of a left-handed person is simply amazing and enlightening. (

An excellent book to read for any of those lefties out there. It presents a lot of really interesting information about why you are the way you are. Although it is getting a bit old now, I have yet to come across a better, more thorough examination of the lefty (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0679744681, Paperback)

If you are among the 10 percent of people who happen to be left-handed, you've had to endure such derisive terms as "gauche" and "a left-handed compliment." At school you may have been forced to write with your right hand. And in another century your proclivity might have gotten you accused of witchcraft.

Any left-handed person, or the spouse, parent, or friend of one, will be captivated by this essential and eye-opening book. With bracing wit and a flawless command of current research, psychologist Stanley Coren answers such questions as:

Is left-handedness acquired genetically or socially?

Are southpaws more creative than their right-handed fellows?

Why do left-handers seem to die younger than right-handers?

What can left-handers do to counteract the perils and prejudices that confront them in a world that leans to the right?
