Summary
Sibling relationships are often our longest—and sometimes most complicated—connections. In today’s episode, we explore what siblings can teach us about identity, belonging, and who we become, drawing on new insights from Catherine Carr's recent book Who’s the Favorite? : The Loving, Messy Realities of Sibling Relationships and the 2023 book How to Be Multiple: The Philosophy of Twins by Helena de Bres. 🎁 Save 20% on a Next Big Idea Club membership when you used code PODCAST at nextbigideaclub.com ✉️ Get big ideas in your inbox with our daily newsletter.
