How To Be A Good Friend
Whether you count your friends in triple figures on Facebook or only as those few individuals you can confide in when you know you are probably at fault, most of us agree friendship is pretty important to a happy life.
Lovers may come and go, work may carry us half way around the globe, but friendship tends to be a point of stability in an otherwise changing world.
In this class we’ll be exploring the insights and advice of a number of key thinkers to look at the limits and perils of friendship, as well as its promise. Can men and women really be just good friends? What is the nature of the friendships we forge at work, and why do they tend not to last?
