Synopsis

Our world has diluted the meaning of friendship, but the reality is, there’s nothing like the sustaining strength of true-blue, forever friends. Still, many people are convinced that they’ll never find such lifelong connections—or that they don’t need them. In this encouraging audio book, best-selling author and psychologist John Townsend delivers hope and help for making these relationships a reality—and for making them even better if you’ve already got a “bestie.” His eight principles for building the very best kind of friendship, along with his shared experiences within his own friendships (including mistakes he’s made), will move every listener to aspire to deeper connections and to stay the course when challenges arise. Townsend’s simple but profound concepts are sure to transform listeners’ relationships and keep them from missing out on one of life’s greatest and most essential joys: the joy of having a best friend.

I was intrigued by the title of this book when it was offered to me for review, so I decided to take it on during this blog tour.

Goodreads review by Bradley on July 25, 2019

Another helpful book by John Townsend. Very down to earth advice about deep friendship. I was looking for a book that takes seriously the need for good friendships and this one does. Unfortunately, it seems more about identifying which friendships are deeper or more shallow, than on how to find them......more

Goodreads review by Eileen on September 24, 2017

I liked this book, but didn't love it. I agreed with a number of the premises of the book such as enhancing personal growth and friends being lifelines. However, I believe the author, John Townsend, viewed the concept of friendship solely through the lens of its positive benefits. It merely glossed......more

Goodreads review by Christen on October 16, 2020

I found a lot of this book to be challenging. I hate having to always be the one who risks and initiates in my friendships. But this book has reminded me that it is up to ME to develop the relationships I want. If I just coast, I will have "coasty" relationships, not deep ones. I want to go back and......more
