Deep Friendship

The value of a true friend seems a unanimous declaration: a friend is "e; someone who knows all about you and still loves you"e; (Elbert Hubbard) and "e; the most precious of all possessions"e; (La Rochefoucauld); friendship is "e; a single soul dwelling in two bodies"e; (Aristotle), "e; the only cement that will ever hold the world together"e; (Woodrow Wilson). And yet, the statement that gets at the heart of Ugarte' s book Deep Friendship belongs to Plutarch, who says: "e; A constant friend is a thing rare and hard to find."e; This is especially true in today' s world, in which we are constantly surrounded by people, but seldom experience deep friendship. The concept and value of friendship has become, more than ever, a rare treasure. What seems a simple task that of finding a true friend who cares, respects, and deeply appreciates you can be harder than expected. In his book, Deep Friendship, Ugarte shares not only how to find a good friend, but how to be one. These attributes of true friendship lead to great benefits, including a more genuine happiness and a greater union with God.
