Maxim Feldman explores the phenomenon of friendship in the life of a modern businessman, explaining why in the era of pragmatism and business connections, sincere relationships are becoming rare. The author contrasts two human archetypes - Homo Economicus (a person focused on profit) and Homo Amicus (a person who values selfless friendship), showing how the lack of friendly ties affects success in business and career, relationships in marriage, psychological health and even life expectancy.
The cult of material prosperity captured us 35-40 years ago. In pursuit of a career and success, we often forget about the most important thing - true friendship. The book raises such questions as: why even the strongest family will not replace a close friend, how entrepreneurs make friends - and what fatal mistake they make, why an old friend is not always better than two new ones, was Rockefeller right in his recipe for friendship and is it possible to learn to be friends in adulthood??
The author explains why friendship is as important as business strategy and how it affects our psychological and even physical state, drawing on scientific research in sociology, psychology and neuroscience, as well as the thoughts of great thinkers and real cases of entrepreneurs and world-famous businessmen. Practical recommendations will help the reader understand their social life and develop the skills to build strong personal friendships and a culture of camaraderie in business and at work.
