About this audiobook

Our friends enrich every part of our lives. Now you can make them matter the most.

Despite modern technology and the ample ways we have to keep in touch, we risk neglecting our relationships with the people who have the most profound effect on our well-being: our friends. Weaving together personal stories, interviews with experts, and social research, Friendship First empowers you to nurture relationships with friends both new and old. Journalist Gyan Yankovich reveals how friendships play a vital role in our happiness with insights on how to: 

  • Deepen workplace friendships outside the office
  • Invite friends into activities typically reserved for families
  • Use social media to strengthen connections
  • Maintain friendships through major life transitions.

An ode to group chats and chosen family, Friendship First invites you to care for and count on those who matter most.
