Synopsis

The frantic pace and casual attitudes of modern life have made real friendship a rare experience. "The Art of Friendship" shows how making true connections can greatly enhance one's life. Seventy brief essays present simple but effective "rules of connecting" with action points to help you put each rule into practice. Woven throughout are personal anecdotes from Roger and Sally Horchow, sharing their experiences of friendship. Recognizing that friendships take many forms, the authors offer practical, proven advice that demystifies the process of making friends. For example: Rule No. 7: Eavesdrop (Politely, of Course). A highly effective way to find a conversation starter and get a sense of someone's personality; Rule No. 30: Change Your Day to Day Habits. Step outside your comfortable boundaries by altering your routines to allow for more spontaneous (and fun) meetings; and, Rule No. 61: Don't Keep Score. Stop measuring your relationship: relax, be kind, and the world will seem more generous. Whether the goal is to start a new relationship, cement a developing alliance or reinvest in a longstanding friendship, "The Art of Friendship" provides all the help you need to make the connection.
