The Company You Keep: The Transforming Power of Male Friendship

by David C. Bentall

Why do men rarely invest time and effort building intentional and mutually supportive friendships? How can men create meaningful friendships? David Bentall explores the experience of three men who have supported each other in friendship for more than twelve years. He chronicles how friendships can inspire, challenge, and have the potential to transform lives. He provides suggestions for initiating long-term, nurturing friendships. Most importantly, Bentall describes the tremendous benefits such friendships have on all areas of a person's life, including family relationships, physical fitness, self-esteem, and spirituality.

This book definitely has me thinking about the power and value of having friends in my life. I mean friends who share my values and vision.
Given my business and the fact I'm an Introvert I find it hard to establish those relationships and carve out time for them
IT would, however, be well worth it.

I bought this book when David Bentall was speaking at a forum for men. For any man who seeks success to the exclusion of relationships and friends, this is the best book I have ever read.
