not my usual type of book but seems very useful

This is not a book that seemed like an immediate go-to for me, but reading the excerpt I was struck with how useful it could be. I am that friend who drops the ball and disappears for weeks (or months... or years...) with no warning. I always have been. Keeping up connections is a struggle that too often doesn't seem worth it.

I was struck by the idea that friendships are work as much as relationships because it's true, and also no one talks about it like that. I am curious what other wisdom I might find inside.
