About this listen

The second book in The School of Life's 'Secrets' series, offering lessons on the emotional skills necessary to build and maintain friendships

Few things promise as much potential happiness as friendship, yet the challenge of finding and maintaining meaningful connections remains one of life's great struggles.

Through The School of Life's unique approach to psychology, philosophy and cultural history, The Secrets of Successful Friendships offers a thoughtful exploration of why friendship is both more complex and more rewarding than we typically imagine, and offers strategic for creating strong bonds with others. It examines why we get lonely, what holds us back from deeper connections, and how we might develop the emotional intelligence needed for lasting bonds.

With characteristic wisdom and warmth, the book explores different varieties of friendship, from casual acquaintances to profound lifelong connections, while offering practical insights into overcoming common obstacles like shyness, envy and fear of vulnerability.

By explaining friendship's true purpose, the book gives us a chance to build new relationships of genuine depth and meaning.
