About this film
Are we optimizing the joy out of our friendships?
Author and conflict resolution expert Priya Parker joins Trevor and Eugene to explore why a little conflict might actually strengthen our closest relationships, how asking friends for inconvenient favors can bring us closer, and what we've lost now that showing up at someone's door unannounced is practically unthinkable.
It's a funny, thought-provoking conversation about the unspoken rules of friendship, the price of convenience, and whether making our lives easier has actually made us more disconnected.
