How friendship can help you develop your Relationship Wisdom.

 (I wrote this post to honour my best friend on this week of Thanksgiving in the US. Thank you N.)

Often, when I say “Relationship Wisdom”, I get quizzical looks – or eye rolls or stunned looks.

Relationship Wisdom is complex but it’s not complicated.

After all, Relationship Wisdom is what sustains all real friendships.

Here is my definition of real friendship:

Real friendship feeds the soul with freedom, reciprocity and growth.

Friendship teaches us about Relationship Wisdom:

  1. Freedom: you remain you and let them be them. No judgement. No demand.
  2. Reciprocity: you keep talking. Dialogue with benevolence.
  3. Growth: especially when your interlocutor irritates you, there’s something to learn.

From philosophy to game theory, the data is irrefutable: friendship is a biological survival necessity – certainly not just a social nicety. We all have tremendous friendship experience.

Leverage your friendship experience to develop your unique Relationship Wisdom.

What makes your real friendships work?

Your friendships are the cornerstone of your Relationship Wisdom.
