Hacker News Stories and Comments

All the comments and stories posted to Hacker News that reference this book.
I’ve recently read “The Art of Showing Up”. TAOSU is useful for the first part of the book, as it explains concepts around friendship. For example, if a friend is going through a tough time ask “How can I best support you?” rather than making assumptions or giving advice.

The second part is more about specific situations like your friend is very ill or you have to decline being a bridesmaid. I recommend it as the concepts explanation might be helpful.

I’ve not yet read “Frientimacy”, and it seems to be a similar book.
