Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Friendship isn’t effortless—but it’s essential.
In Friendships Need Work, Too, Dr. Richard L. Travis invites readers to rethink how we show up for the people who matter most—friends, siblings, even family members who could become friends again.
Whether your relationships have quietly drifted, ruptured with hurt, or simply feel stuck, this compassionate guide offers a path toward reconnection, repair, and deeper belonging.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Reconnect with friends you’ve lost touch with
• Navigate conflict and awkward silences
• Maintain closeness in busy seasons of life
• Build meaningful friendships as an adult
• Support mental health in yourself and your friends
• Rebuild emotional bonds with siblings and family members

With real-life stories, journal prompts, expert research, and links to TED Talks, YouTube videos, and practical tools, this book will help you foster connection in a disconnected world.
Whether you're reaching out to a childhood friend, trying to talk to your brother again, or longing for new friendship as an adult—this book is your permission slip to begin.
