Sibling Revelry: 8 Steps to Successful Adult Sibling Relationships

Experience the miracle of healing with a unique step-by-step program for enhancing adult sibling relationships — created by siblings for siblings

Much has been written about the relationships of parents and children. But the unsung chord in all of our adult relationships, professional and personal, is rooted in the sibling connection. In this extraordinary book based on their Sibling Revelry workshops, authors — and siblings — Jo Ann, Marjory, and Joel Levitt re-create the seminars that have helped many strengthen the bonds of their adult sibling relationships.

In eight clearly focused steps, with added material for home study, the authors show how to transform sibling rivalry into extraordinary, nurturing adult bonds that will enhance all other relationships in your life. Now you can regain the closeness you and your siblings once shared, heal old wounds, and pave the way to a happier, healthier future. Learn how to:

* Define your relationship — Unload the myths of your shared past...and discover who you are to each other now

* Witness the effect of old rivalries — And use them as a springboard to great adult relationships

* Envision a new future — Break the habits that hold your relationship firmly in place...and create a powerful new vision for yourself and your family
