How do you manage family members that are very different from you?

My sister is a corporate director, I’m a hippie/bohemian/artist/poet type. I have to spend a lot of time with her and it’s really hard. I don’t get her world, should I be trying harder to understand?

Well... I would say try hard to understand and accept, and she should do the same. You both could find things to appreciate in the other's world. Let's not forget, the corporate world builds things... that's not a minor contribution to the world, as are the arts.
