How do I be a Better Friend?

Friendships should build us up, not leave us scrambling to prove our worth. But in a culture obsessed with popularity—it’s easy to settle for shallow friendships that take more than they give.

The good news is that meaningful friendships with sisters you can lean on anytime are possible. Author, podcast host, and speaker Grace Valentine shows you how this is possible with twelve powerful truths to help you rethink the way you connect with others. As someone who has been in the low-lows and high-highs of friendships—from saying goodbye to friendships that were stuck or one-sided, to uprooting her whole life and starting over in finding community, to nurturing long-distance friendships—Valentine knows what it takes to make good friends and to be a good friend.
