Many people today have no idea what real friendship is - the kind of friendship that contributes substantially to one's happiness and well-being. That is because we tend to confuse friendship with companionship. We also tend to choose our friends according to our political beliefs and attitudes: politics is more important to us than friendship. This has not always been the case.

Question: Is there a way of better understanding friendship and politics alike that might support relationships more conducive to personal and social well-being? This talk shows that there is.
