Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Michelle Obama and her brother Craig Robinson reveal how growing up in a tiny Chicago apartment shaped their values, outlook on life, and mental health today. From Craig "vetting" Barack Obama during a pickup basketball game to Michelle navigating the pressures of the White House, their conversation uncovers how family bonds grounded them through extraordinary circumstances. What makes this sibling dynamic special isn't just their impressive achievements but their authentic connection - Craig bringing lightness and joy while Michelle delivers wisdom and perspective. Their shared mental health belief that "home is about who's there, not where you are" resonates deeply as they explain how they raised confident children amid extreme privilege and spotlight by teaching them that success comes from character, not circumstance.
