Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The way people talk about their friends is a great way to learn about them. We can learn a lot about a friendship by listening to how it began. Are they brand-new friends who are obsessed with each other right now. Have they known each other for decades. #2 Big friendships are difficult to untangle. As humans, we are all thoroughly shaped by the people we know and love. We grow in response to each other, in ways both intentional and subconscious. #3 At her first magazine job, Ann loved working for the fact-checkers. She felt like she was shaping her life into something she loved. But she was surviving on canned beans and unsure of her next professional step. #4 Ann was transferred to Washington, DC, to start a job at a political magazine. She was sure it was the right choice for her career, but she didn't want to live in a swamp full of status-obsessed former debate champions.
