This book is a hymn to friendship that captures the literary vision of fifteen authors on such universal concepts as companionship, camaraderie, loyalty, attachment, support and trust, from the profound perspectives of disciplines as diverse as philosophy, history, sociology and psychology. A work that transcends the poetic gaze, and explains how friendship influences people's way of being, their relationship with the world, their self-esteem and assertiveness, and even their physical and mental health. A wide and rich repertoire of reflections, which integrates the sensitivity and experience of each of its authors, on the true meaning of one of the most beautiful and difficult to define words in our dictionary: friend. The objective of 15 Perspectives on Friendship is doubly ambitious. On the one hand, the aim is for the reader to enjoy a pleasant and entertaining read, peppered with touching and revealing texts, and on the other, to reflect on his or her own experiences and value the friendships that have left their mark on his or her life. In short, these pages are a balm for the soul and nourish the essence of the human being.
