Befriend: Create Belonging in an Age of Judgment, Isolation, and Fear by Scott Sauls

5.0

One of my top nonfiction reads of the year, Sauls' work is a collection of challenges/encouragements for the reader to befriend types of people that they typically wouldn't interact with (or - perhaps - folks they'd even avoid). Sauls never does this via guilt, but rather by shedding light on the blessing and learning that occur when atypical friendships and interactions are pursued.

I frequently found myself tearing up at the stories Sauls told and the beauty that new friendships create, and I'm committed to pushing my introvert tendencies for the good of the kingdom and my soul.

(full disclosure: the agency I work for represents this author and book)
