The Business of Friendship Audiobook Summary

It is virtually impossible to feel connected and supported in life when you don’t feel that way where you spend most of our time–at work.

In The Business of Friendship, friendship expert Shasta Nelson unpacks the distinct ways we can make work relationships the healthiest they can be, both for the sake of the employee and the mission of the company. She inspires readers to see why friendship is crucial to our health and our careers, and teaches us exactly how to develop the supportive and meaningful connections we need.

Our organizations benefit as friendships at work result in higher levels of workplace productivity, employee retention, safety, innovation, collaboration, and profitability. In having a best friend at work, we are seven times more engaged in our job, which translates to better customer service, less absenteeism, fewer workplace accidents, and more loyalty to our organizations.

Through Shasta’s stories, research, and practical guidance, she:

  • Breaks down what creates healthy bonds and reveals the 3 requirements necessary in all healthy relationships and teams.
  • Helps managers and employees assess the health of their relationships and learn ways to repair and improve them.
  • Provides advice for addressing some of the biggest fears around workplace friendships, such as increased drama, favoritism, confidentiality, gossip, toxic coworkers, relationship with bosses, and potential romantic attractions.

The Business of Friendship is for those who are ready to maximize the two most significant factors of our wellbeing–career and relationships. Whether you are a leader or an employee, when you feel more connected and supported at work, everyone wins.
