Author Roger Horchow's friendship skills have been recognized in print: In The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell cites him as an exemplary "connector." In The Art of Friendship, Horchow partners with his daughter Sally to write a book that is neither a self-help manual or a friendship etiquette guide. Instead, this multigenerational pair examine the nature and experience of friendship, hoping to share their sense of the value and ease of these relationships.

Woven throughout are personal anecdotes from the Horchows, sharing their experiences of friendship.
Recognizing that friendships take many forms, the authors offer practical, proven advice that demystifies the process of making friends. The audiobook opens with a foreword by Malcolm Gladwell (author of The Tipping Point) that explores the Horchows' special talent for making and keeping friends. Whether your goal is to start a new relationship or reinvest in a longstanding friendship, this inspiring program will reveal how you can build more meaningful connections in your life.
