This ""philosophical"" look at friendship and happiness begins with
a review of Aristotle's three categories of friendship-friends of
utility, friends of pleasure and friends of the good. Modern
variations-casual friends, close friends, best friends-are
described, along with the growing phenomena of virtual friendships
and cyber socialization in the Internet age. Inspired in part by
Bertrand Russell's The Conquest of Happiness, the authors propose
that conquering unhappiness is key to achieving the
self-satisfaction Russell called zest and Aristotle called
eudaimonia or thriving by our own efforts.
