Acts of Friendship

47 Ways to Recharge Your Life, Make Real Connections and Deepen Your Relationships

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

TIMELY MESSAGE ABOUT THE VALUE OF FEMALE FRIENDSHIP: In the wake of #MeToo, the climate is ripe for a book helping women to build solidarity with one another. Acts of Friendship is a fresh, fun way for women to strengthen their female friendships and to create positive memories together. CONNECTING IN THE SOCIAL MEDIA ERA: It's so easy for people to feel isolated these days, hiding behind their screens and superficial social media relationships. Acts of Friendship pushes the reader to develop real, meaningful relationships at a time when we're all craving connection. PERFECT GIFT FOR GAL-ENTINE'S DAY: There's been a growing trend of women celebrating Valentine's Day together with their friends, and Acts of Friendship will release in early February -- it's the perfect Gal-entine's Day gift for single and partnered women alike. UNIQUE GROUP SELF-HELP APPROACH: Research shows that strong relationships are one of the biggest determinants of our mental health, and personal development is more likely to stick when we're accountable. Acts of Friendship takes an original approach to the self-help genre, by inviting the reader to participate in activities with their dearest friends. COMPELLING BACK STORY: The book was written by three best friends (former colleagues at Glaxo-Kline) who'd known one another for decades before embarking on this project to push their limits together. The book was a natural idea for Lynne Everatt, who is also the author of The 5-Minute Recharge and is a LinkedIn Top Voice in management and culture, with a following of 100,000+ people.
