Going to church, doing things in community with people who have common interests. And one of the questions I'm getting since I've started talking about friendship, it's amazing how many people are coming up to me who are of all ages, of all income levels, and who are saying to me, I don't know how to make friends. I struggle to make friends.

I mean, what did W.C. Field say? Quitting smoking is the easiest thing I've ever done. I've done it hundreds of times. That's right. Marriage is the easiest thing I've ever done. I've done it four times.

Here's something I discovered about close friendships, right? Which is we always talk about close friends as the person you would call when you're in need, when you need help, the person you can cry with, the person when you're in pain. And I actually think that's true. That's a level of close friendship that you can call that person in a time of struggle or need.

But I think there's even a closer level of friendship, which is when you can call somebody when something amazing happens.

And there's no jealousy. And you can call them. And what you're doing is bragging, but not really. You just need to tell someone about this amazing thing that you accomplished or that was given to you or that you won or whatever it is. And if you were told anybody else, they'd be like... They think you were bragging. But to that friend, they have unbridled joy with you and for you.

And what I've learned is the number of people I would call with good news is actually smaller than the number of people I would call with bad news.

I'll celebrate you. But you know what I mean? Yeah. It's like to, you know, and like a friend of mine called me recently about something amazing that happened in his life. I was the first person he called, and I had no jealousy, and I was like, I was felling like a parent. I was so proud of him for what he did. And you realize that that was actually more intimate than being there in pain.

And so I started making lists of who the people I would call for the insanely good things. And it's a smaller number.
