The Art of Living Free, the learning platform of The Center for Social Leadership, would like to offer you a free book by Dr. Anthony Silard:
SPENDING TIME WITH OTHERS
IS NOT THE WAY OUT OF LONELINESS
Are you a person who strives to develop close, meaningful relationships? Have you experienced situations in which your efforts are thwarted because others do not see friendship through the lens of loyalty, kindness and a willingness to genuinely listen and offer support that you do?
In The Myth of Friendship, Dr. Silard challenges current thinking about friendship. In order to reduce loneliness and develop enduring relationships in your life, you will learn that:
• Too much separateness from—or togetherness with—others will only compound your loneliness.
• Your best relationships are with people who are better than you—but not in a dimension core to your personal identity in which you are already strong.
• Relationships last when you choose people you not only like, but also want to be like.
• Instead of distracting you from developing meaningful friendships, cultivating your life purpose will bring meaningful people into your life with whom you naturally become friends.
The Myth of Friendship offers a revolutionary approach to relationship development that will make you question your preconceptions about friendship and help you fill your life with more meaningful and sustainable relationships.
