Helping You Build
Stronger Friendships
I have no duty to be anyone’s Friend and no man in the world has a duty to be mine. No claims, no shadow of necessity. Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself… It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.
― CS Lewis The Four Loves

How we define Friendship
What is Friendship?
At Friend of Friends we define friendship as a reciprocal investment in particular personhood. Each person has a particular way of expressing their values, their projects, their quirks. To befriend someone is to take them seriously as an individual, to learn to love the specific ways they present themselves and to help them be better by their own lights.
What we Value?
Friend of Friends is a passion project inspired by the belief that a world filled with stronger friendships is within reach—and by a personal drive to be a better friend to those already in my life. – Jacob
