Friendship - Anthony Gunn

Why have friends? Research shows that people with great friendships are healthier, happier and live longer than those who are socially isolated. Friendship helps you to achieve these important and fulfilling connections.

Psychologist Anthony Gunn gives tips and suggestions on how to improve your social relationships, how to become more confident in them, how to avoid traps that jeopardise friendships, and how to recognise unhealthy friendships and identify behavioural patterns that prevent you from making the most of your social connections.

He inspires you to step out of your comfort zone to invest time in friendship, make new friends, improve existing friendships and challenge yourself to overcome habits that negatively impact on those around you. Each tip is accompanied by an inspirational quote on the subject from a historical figure.

Friendship: The Joy of Connection unlocks the secret to developing real friendships - those connections that are so important for our physical and psychological wellbeing.
