Mom still likes you best

Listen to the interview.

In her new book Mom Still Likes You Best:The Unfinished Business Between Siblings Jane Isay, turns her wisdom to the bond between brothers and sisters and shows us how differences caused by family feuds, marriages, distance, or ancient history can be overcome. Here are some ways to be closer with your sibs:

Childhood is like Vegas: Let what happened there stay there.
Stop being the family mole.
Mind your manners.
B gr8 txt frnds.
Play nice with your brother’s (not so nice) spouse.
Avoid hot-button topics (politics, religious, high-fructose corn syrup).
