Book Reviews of The Art of Friendship: 70 Simple Rules for Making Meaningful Connections

Book Review: Authentic Friendships
Summary: 3 Stars

Over the years I've gained and lost numerous friendships. The friendships that remain seem to be authentic experiences that enhance my life. In "The Art of Friendship" the authors seem to focus on how to win and keep friends throughout your life.

The book begins with how we first connect with friends and then the authors divulge the secrets (rules) of keeping friendships healthy. There are practical ideas for making new friends like signing up for a cooking class. There is advice on how to keep in contact with long-distance friends. Writing a hand-written note instead of an e-mail is advised.

On the flip side if you are trying to get rid of a friend there are also some polite ways to voice your dissatisfaction. Getting out of a conversation with people you don't want to become friends with is also advised.

The authors obviously have a lot of friends and important acquaintances. They name drop throughout the book and this seems at least to be somewhat of a distraction from the main message of the book.

~The Rebecca Review
