Read by the author.

Offering a path for a new way to think about friendships, The Life Council will inspire and equip you to be a better friend, make new friends, and appreciate how different types of friendships can bring a richness to your life like never before.

You'd love to have a "ride or die" posse like you see on social media, but instead you have a host of really good . . . acquaintances. After all, trying to find a soul friend in the midst of dirty dishes, deadlines, and, oh, a crazy busy life can be overwhelming. But what if developing great friendships was actually easier than we thought? And what if finding a "soul friend" wasn't necessarily our highest goal?

In The Life Council, Laura Tremaine--the writer and podcaster behind 10 Things to Tell You--tells us what we've been hoping was true all along: making, keeping, and even releasing friends doesn't need to be as hard as we make it. This fun and practical guide gives you what you need to:

• Create your own "life council" with the friends you already have
• Understand the ten kinds of friends every woman needs--and how to find them
• Learn how to evaluate your friendship circle for what's working and what might need to change
• Navigate tough conversations with friends
• Get excited again about the possibility of new friendships

The Life Council will give every woman the help she needs to think about friendships in a new way and find true connection, freedom, and joy in her relationships.

A discussion guide is included in the accompanying audiobook companion PDF download.

Excellent 🙌🏽

I love Laura;) she’s like listening to a long time friend telling amazing stories. The Life Counsel is a wonderful way to think about our friendships and to continue to build healthy and fulfilling relationships. Highly recommended

Pleasantly surprised

I heard about this book on a podcast that I listen to. I figured it would be a great book but it went above and beyond my expectations. It’s such a needed discussion for women. I’m looking forward to journaling my thoughts with the discussion questions. I’ll definitely recommend this book to others. I LOVED that it was read read by the author. Laura speaks so well and has a pleasant voice.

Great book

I really loved this book and the concept. It made me reflect on my own friendships.

Recommending this book to everyone I know!

While I don’t actually know Laura, I feel like I know her personally because of her incredible ability to share. This book is so well written, so raw, genuine and real. I cried many times and feel so inspired to make new friends, and to treasure the ones I already have. Laura’s very personal stories feel cathartic; her outlook is so refreshing. This book helps me feel like anything terrible I’ve gone through or even done in the past is completely okay! Everyone needs to read this book. It’s truly wonderful, Laura! Thank you and please keep them coming.

Just a great listen and tools and tips in female friendships. In all stages and places in life.
