Why We’re Here
We know that our friendships increase our happiness, our health, and our longevity, yet people have fewer close confidantes today than we did three decades ago, and loneliness has become a public health crisis. Even though there’s a huge amount of information in the media discussing these relationships, and our social media feeds run 24/7, we haven’t been smart about the way we approach friendships. What we’re looking for are those people who share and support our core values and achievable goals. In my life, these are the relationships that have offered me the most personal and intellectual growth. Your journey starts with you becoming a smarter, more compassionate friend, and the resources on this website give you the information and opportunity to help you reach your success.
