The Life Council Summary

The Life Council: 10 Friends Every Woman Needs by Laura Tremaine

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.

The Life Council Reviews

This book is such a treasure! We spend a lot of time talking about how marriage takes work and parenting takes work, but we sort of expect friendships to just appear in our lives and sail on for the long haul. But that's not how my life and friendships have gone, and I'm so grateful for Laura's willingness to open an honest conversation about how to make friends, what kinds of friends we need, and how to be a good friend. I love Laura's writing, and her wisdom and wit sparkle on every page. When you finish this book, you'll want to reach out to every friend in your life, and you'll have the skills and perspective to make a few new ones, too. Shauna Niequist, New York Times bestselling author of I Guess I Haven't Learned That Yet
She already taught us the importance of sharing our stuff and was brave enough to go first. Now, Laura Tremaine shows up for us again, this time bringing hard-won wisdom, honest confessions, and a thoughtful new vocabulary for how to talk about being friends (especially for those of us who secretly worry we're bad ones). Finally, a useful friendship book for grownups. Emily P. Freeman, Wall Street Journalbestselling author of The Next Right Thing
A lot of women think that if we're not going on vacation with a montage-worthy bestie, we're doing friendship wrong. In The Life Council, Laura Tremaine candidly and compassionately tells us the truth about the beauty and vastness of adult friendship, offering a relational framework that women deeply crave. No longer are we stuck in a restrictive paradigm of what it means to make and keep friends. The Life Council teaches us to paint a new picture of friendship, one with more color and texture than we realized was possible. Kendra Adachi, New York Times bestselling author of The Lazy Genius Way and The Lazy Genius Kitchen
Tremaine's exploration of adult friendship is nuanced yet practical. . . . a perceptive look at female friendship in this bright offering. Publishers Weekly
