I am excited to highlight the June book choice for Courtney’s Corner, Friends Matter, for Life: Harnessing the 8 Tenets of Dynamic Friendship by Dr. Kimberly Horn! Dr. Kimberly Horn is an esteemed professor and research psychologist, with nearly three decades of health behavior research. Her work and accomplishments have been recognized on a global scale. Uniquely known for how she can connect with widespread audiences and her demonstration of compassion through her work, Dr. Kimberly Horn is certainly one to follow!
Released last year, this book comes at the perfect time when the topic of loneliness is at the forefront. Dr. Horn highlights the value that friendships can play in our lives, forming that much-needed connection that allows for greater fulfillment, healing, and a sense of belonging. She does an impeccable job intricately weaving research alongside personal experiences and narratives that allow the reader to reflect on their journey of friendship in their own life. This book is for anyone who desires to learn more about the exciting pathway of friendships.
As soon as I started this book, I could not put it down! I found myself reflecting on the existing friendships I possess with a greater and newfound appreciation, while also being encouraged by Dr. Horn to embark on creating new friendships. Through the eight tenets of the Framework of Dynamic Friendship, Dr. Horn offers useful tools and exercises to help the reader experience greater fulfillment in his or her own friendships. I felt as if Dr. Horn was a close friend guiding me on an exciting journey envisioning different scenarios where friendships can begin.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book! Dr. Horn’s passion for helping others lead happier and more connected lives shines through this heartfelt book. I will leave you with a lovely and meaningful quote from Dr. Kimberly Horn. “I believe friendships are the bedrock of connections, conduits for spreading love, fostering belonging, and facilitating mutual understanding that is healing and empowering.” Grab your copy today on Amazon, and while you are at it, grab a copy for a friend!
