Friendshifts : The Power of Friendship and How It Shapes Our Lives by Yager, Jan. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781889262000.

The right friends will help you thrive and succeed in life while the wrong friends can get you killed. Friendshifts will show you how to recognize the difference between healthy and destructive friendships as well as how to develop and maintain those friendships that will contribute to a longer, happier, and more successful life. Friendshifts, the word coined by friendship expert and sociologist Dr. Jan Yager, explains how friendships shift as we go from one stage in our life to another. The variety of roles we play throughout our lives - as student, worker, boss, spouse, or parent - changes, shifting the role that friendship plays.
