Book Review: The Art of Friendship

Although "70 simple rules" may sound like an oxymoron, the guidelines in Roger and Sally Horchow's little gem of a book really are based on simplicity and common sense. The suggestions that could seem old-school or outdated to some readers are actually the most valuable: send the occasional catch-up or thank you note by snail mail; sincerely given gifts are fine; be totally present (turn off your phone!) when spending designated time with a friend.The father-daughter Horchow team give social networking its due but courtesy and consideration always come first - truly a refreshing perspective.

Read this if you've been experiencing dissatisfaction with your relationships and see if some of the tips speak to you.
