This was actually pretty good. I thought it was easy to read and all of the author’s experiences and anecdotes are pretty applicable in my own life.
I thought it was a little weird to treat friends as a something like a business council. As in treating relationship as what you get from other people rather than something more giving. But the author places a lot of focus on gratitude so it doesn’t feel overly self involved.
I rarely ever read self help books so I don’t know a lot about the genre. But I thought this was actually pretty good and I felt like there was a lot of concrete advice on friendships. Just tips and ways of being more grateful and giving as a friend.
The book breaks down ten categories or types of friends that a person should keep in their life.
I’ve never considered having different types of friends who each have different purposes and I normally would consider it strange to categorize people like that. But I thought it was really well handled in this book and made sense.
But as I get older and realize that it gets harder to make and keep friends amidst our busy lives, I appreciate the reminders and the lessons about the importance of these people in our lives.
I would recommend it to anyone interested and I’ll be passing it on to my mother for her to read next.
