Rachel Benoit: The Friendship Wheel, Gebunden

Klappentext

A powerful framework to help you understand your most important relationships.

Friendships are vital to who we are, how we spend our time, and often start before and endure beyond our romantic partnerships, but we have only limited ways to talk about them. What if we had a language that took friendship seriously and could explore these relationships in all their wonderful complexity?
Welcome to the Friendship Wheel, a brilliant diagnostic tool based on the laws of color theory.
This vibrant handbook to our emotional lives establishes the language for friendship we've been missing, to show, for example, how dynamics in Yellow (the barista who makes us smile each morning) and feelings of Blue (our most trusted confidantes who feel like family), can help make sense of Green (the fleeting intensity of the camp friend). The Wheel identifies each kind of friendship as a distinct, important, and interconnected piece of our social worlds.
The Friendship Wheel is a book to be read, but it's also a book to be used. Find out how to:
Chart your friendships: what kind do you have and what kind do you want?
Bring new energy into old friendships
Identify friends' various expectations Do I mean to you what you mean to me?
Navigate the confusion of a friendship break-up with empathy

Based on interviews with psychologists, data scientists, ethnologists, and lots and lots of friends, The Friendship Wheel's playful (yet practical) framework will give you the keys to generate real change in your life and community.
