Lucky you!

After all, a good friendship is truly priceless—and that’s backed by research.

So if you feel like you’re happier because a certain friend is in your life, well, that’s a genuine feeling—backed up by science.

And if you’re the one who bought this book, feel free to keep the friendship-appreciation love flowing and pass it on! Share it with a friend you know to show them how very happy they make you feel—and you’ll then make them feel a little happier in the process.

So whether you have a big group of friends or a select scattering of besties, or you’re still searching for your tribe, this book will celebrate the power of the special human connection that is friendship.

And I hope that when you’re done reading this book, you’ll consider me a friend too. With this in mind, feel free to reach out to me via the contact page on NotSalmon.com, and tell me a story about a special friend in your life. I might just share your story on my site to inspire others to be a good friend forever—wherever—whenever.

XO,
Karen
