Ať žije přátelství! - Jak posílit a upevnit přátelské vztahy – group of authors (2023)

Is it possible that a large majority of the happiness we experience in life does not stem from romantic love or professional success, but from quality friendships? Based on the experiences of Swedish therapists specializing in this topic, we will learn how to map the history of our friendships, evaluate our own qualities and weaknesses within these relationships, discover what we most often neglect in friendships, where we are most vulnerable, and how to assess others' reactions when we open up to them. Other areas include asking bold questions, the ability to forgive, and giving without expecting anything in return. An interesting part of the book includes recommendations, techniques, and exercises on how to dust off and revive old, often dysfunctional friendships and restore their significance in our lives, as well as games designed to help us grasp and define our abilities in forming friendships as best as possible, such as a friendship map or an overview of the nature of our friendships in the form of a tree. The book also touches on the topic of high sensitivity regarding the courage to open up to others.
