Sample Book Insights:
#1 Friendship is one of the most important components of a person’s health, well-being, and happiness. It is important to differentiate between familial and nonfamilial friendship, as the former is defined as a relationship with someone you know and with whom you have a bond of emotional closeness and reciprocity, while the latter is a choice and can end at any moment.
#2 The best way to maintain friendships is through face-to-face contact. Seeing someone in person fosters a shared connection that you can’t get on social media. Sharing experiences and laughs with real friends reduces stress and increases pleasure.
#3 It is important to have conflict in high-quality friendships, as it helps you understand your friend’s feelings and perspectives. Without empathy, conflict resolution in a friendship may leave each person feeling unheard, unseen, and uncared for.
#4 It is not the quantity but the quality of your friendships that matters. You should try not to focus on expanding your outermost network of friends, but instead invest time and energy in your closest social circles.

#1

friendship is one of the most important components of a person’s health, well-being, and happiness. It is important to differentiate between familial and nonfamilial friendship, as the former is defined as a relationship with someone you know and with whom you have a bond of emotional closeness and reciprocity, while the latter is a choice and can end at any moment.

#2

The best way to maintain friendships is through face-to-face contact. Seeing someone in person fosters a shared connection that you can’t get on social media. Sharing experiences and laughs with real friends reduces stress and increases pleasure.

#3

It is important to have conflict in high-quality friendships, as it helps you understand your friend’s feelings and perspectives. Without empathy, conflict resolution in a friendship may leave each person feeling unheard, unseen, and uncared for.

#4

It is not the quantity but the quality of your friendships that matters. You should try not to focus on expanding your outermost network of friends, but instead invest time and energy in your closest social circles.

#5

The three motivations for love and friendship are utility, pleasure, and goodness. Aristotle believes that only mutual good exists between two people in a friendship, and that the three motivations are what makes the relationship strong.

#6

A friendship of utility is a relationship where both you and the other person benefit from it or find it useful. You're in a friendship of utility for personal gain, not pleasure. These relationships are common among acquaintances and are often developed when you're trying to make new friends.

#7

The second type of friendship is based on pleasure, and it is typically found in the third ring of your social circle. These are relationships with people who pursue what is pleasurable for them. They are short-term relationships.

#8

The friendship of the good is based on mutual admiration and love for one another. They are easy to fall into, and they help us grow. They stay around far longer than any of the other types of friendship.

#9

There are three types of friendships: friendships of utility, pleasure, and the good. They can be either long-lasting or short-term, but they are always beneficial to have. The more identities a person has, the more connections or friends they will have in the long term.
Insights from Chapter 2

#1

As we grow up, we are often faced with the challenge of finding and keeping friends. While it may be easier to find friends as an adult, few consider what it would be like to do so without the support of cultural institutions like school, work, and family.

#2

friendships are often based on playdates, and children who are able to sustain a shared activity during their playdates are the most successful at making friends.
