Summary
“If you want to make one decision to ensure your own health and happiness,” said a recent study from Harvard University, “it should be to cultivate warm relationships of all kinds.” And that includes friendships! But what kinds of friends do we need? And what kind of friend should *we* be? Author and podcaster Laura Tremaine (of 10 Things to Tell You fame!) is here, and she’s written a fantastic new book called The Life Council. And this week, she and Emily are talking about where they’ve shined in their friendships—and where they’ve flopped. They talk about the friends who stand by them through the awkward and the hard, and bring warmth and meaning and laughter to their days. Above all, they normalize what adult friendship looks like: the good, the bad, the awkward, the wonderful.
