A splendid new translation of one of the greatest books on friendship ever written
In a world where social media, online relationships, and relentless self-absorption threaten the very idea of deep and lasting friendships, the search for true friends is more important than ever. In this short book, which is one of the greatest ever written on the subject, the famous Roman politician and philosopher Cicero offers a compelling guide to finding, keeping, and appreciating friends. With wit and wisdom, Cicero shows us not only how to build friendships but also why they must be a key part of our lives. For, as Cicero says, life without friends is not worth living. Filled with timeless advice and insights, Cicero's heartfelt and moving classic--written in 44 BC and originally titled De Amicitia--has inspired readers for more than two thousand years, from St. Augustine and Dante to Thomas Jefferson and John Adams. Presented here in a lively new translation with the original Latin on facing pages and an inviting introduction, How to Be a Friend explores how to choose the right friends, how to avoid the pitfalls of friendship, and how to live with friends in good times and bad. Cicero also praises what he sees as the deepest kind of friendship--one in which two people find in each other "another self" or a kindred soul. An honest and eloquent guide to finding and treasuring true friends, How to Be a Friend speaks as powerfully today as when it was first written.-- "Paradigm Explorer"Binding Type: Hardcover

Incredibly Soft and Cozy — Looks High-End
Color: Cream White, Size: Throw, Color: Cream White, Size: Throw
This blanket is extremely soft and has a really luxurious feel.
It looks high-end and adds a cozy, finished look to a room. The size is great for a throw—not too small, and big enough to comfortably use for one or even share.
It’s one of those pieces that adds both comfort and a nice decorative touch.
What I like:
Very soft and cozy
High-end look and feel
Good size for a throw
Great value & versatility
Overall, I’ve been really happy with this and reach for it often.

Very Impressive Quality
Color: Bubble Dark Yellow, Size: Throw
I don't normally write reviews but my search for a low-cost quality throw for my sofa is finally over, right down to the "dark yellow" color. The quality of this throw is amazing for the price, it's just thick enough and very luxurious looking and feeling. I washed it straight out of the box upon delivery fully expecting an issue so I could return it asap. I used the delicate cycle in cold water, low heat in the drawer and it looks better than when it arrived. I ordered several other throws for $20 or less on Amazon that were too thin or the color was dreadful, but this item was perfect in every way. No shedding so far.

I LOVE THIS BLANKET!!
Color: Pink, Size: Throw
Just buy it right now because it’s very affordable, high quality, and soooooooo silky soft. Feels similar to a Minky couture blanket, only with longer fuzzies. I got the one sided raspberry pink looking colored throw size and I love it. No regrets, easy to wash, and doesn’t fall apart in washer. I love it and will buy more in the future, highly recommend🩷🩷🩷
