Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Harriet, who was always searching for a husband, never realized the importance of friends. When she got married at the age of fifty, she began hosting friends in her home for regular gatherings. She learned how to be vulnerable and began to see the value of friends in new light.

#2 The healing power of friendship is not just limited to our mental health, but also our physical health. In a study that assessed the factors that contribute to our longevity, connection was the most powerful factor.

#3 Friendship is a relationship that allows us to release the pressure valve of our relationships. It allows us to experience joy vicariously through others’ joy, which is what makes friendship so powerful.

#4 We choose our friends, which allows us to surround ourselves with people who root for us, get us, and delight in our joy. When we evaluate the merits of friendship on a macro level, we see how these relationships better society.
