Can bosses actually learn something from marriages? Are very close friendships in the workplace such a bad thing? These are just a few of the questions that author Tom Rath asked when he embarked on a massive study of friendships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlong with several leading researchers, Rath pored through the literature, conducted several experiments, and analysed more than 5 million interviews from The Gallup Organization's worldwide database. His team's discoveries produced \u003cem\u003eVital Friends\u003c\/em\u003e, a book that challenges long-held assumptions people have about their relationships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe team's landmark discovery—that people who have a \"best friend at work\" are seven times as likely to be engaged in their job—is sure to rattle the structure of organisations around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on research and case studies from topics as diverse as marriage, management, and architecture, \u003cem\u003eVital Friends\u003c\/em\u003e reveals what's common to all truly essential friendships: a regular focus on what each person is contributing to the friendship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTom Rath's fast-paced and inviting storytelling takes a mountain of important research and makes it remarkably accessible and applicable. By the time you finish reading \u003cem\u003eVital Friends\u003c\/em\u003e, you'll see your family, friends, coworkers, and significant other in a whole new light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46869143486700,"sku":"9781595620071","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/2563473482756.jpg?v=1759785001","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/vital-friends-by-tom-rath-9781595620071","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
