Vital Friends will forever change how you look at your family, friends, coworkers and significant others.

Drawing on research and case studies from topics as diverse as marriage, management and architecture, Vital Friends reveals what’s common to all truly essential friendships: a regular focus on what each person is contributing to the friendship rather than the all-too-common approach of expecting one person to be everything. 

This book examines long-held assumptions about relationships — and discovers that friendship is good for business.
