The Friendship Effect

Since 1985, the General Social Survey (GSS) studies have been revealing a decline in friendships. Twenty-seven years later since this study, our world is in even more need of unity with countries in conflict and our uncertain economy. This book is a crucial part in helping people with personal and global transformation.

The Friendship Effect is a two-part book that will teach you all you need to know to be a true friend and to create long-lasting genuine friendships. Part one focuses on being a friend to yourself and living a life based on what makes you happy, which will inevitably attract more friends your way. Part two spotlights the secrets to creating and sustaining lifelong friendships while showing why and how friendships are lifesaving and world changing. The secrets of friendship, which will be revealed in-depth in this section, are:

• Refrain from judging.
• Be a good listener.
• Give your friends advice the safe and real way.
• What to do when meeting someone for the first time through Magical Ease.

• Always have high expectations in your friendships.
