Practical tools for making deep genuine friends

A few years ago- I vividly remember feeling dissatisfied with the amount of genuine girl friends I had. Now, I feel like I almost have more than I can manage. This good gave me the tools to take strangers that I just met and turn them into the closest of friends. The amount of women that have thanked me for taking the initiative and creating the opportunity for our circle to become a circle is so gratifying. This is a book I have listened to time and time again as I know there is still more wisdom I can reap. But like all books - it’s only amazing if you take action on her suggestions.

excellent

loved this well written book. I highly recommend it and enjoyed the real life examples.

Loved This Book!

The perfect book for helping my female clients with learning to connect. The author gives really great practical ways to understand connection and it’s importance beyond just wanting a friend

exceptinal.!

Extremely important information about one of the most important things in life. meticulously explained, a must read..!!

Such great advice to live by ...!

Not only in friendship relationships , this book helped me to realize there is a little bit of good and not so good in all people and all relationships . But it’s still all very worthwhile . 👍

Loved it!!!!

Not many books speak to me but this one did. I have purchased several hardcovers for my Circle of Friends for Christmas gifts.

Hope to revise this review soon...

I’m almost 4 hours in and she’s still listing and re-listing WHY it’s important to develop female friendships... I believe you! That’s why I bought your book! When will you tell me HOW?!

Computer voice - irritating!

I was unable to appreciate the content of this book because the reading voice sounded computer generated. Very distracting and irritating - to the point that I ended up abandoning the book!

Decent material, horrible narration

So many good points made in this book about how we make and keep friendships, but the narration is so horrible it makes it hard to listen to. I'd skip the audible version and consider the book version instead. It's like a bad computer voice reading the words in an odd, disconnected manner.
