Relationships. A Visual Guide to Love and Friendship for Teens

A navigator for building real relationships, which are essential for your happiness.

The ability to create and maintain relationships is undoubtedly the most important skill. Life is woven from relationships. Closeness with people is the source of both true happiness and joy, as well as the deepest wounds and disappointments. True relationships are the foundation of life satisfaction and longevity (scientifically proven by Harvard research).

So what do we do to learn how to build relationships? How do we teach this to our children? There is no subject in the school curriculum for this. We have to learn and teach from our own mistakes, adopting the not-so-successful experiences from those around us. It’s time to correct this!

In the book “Relationships. A Visual Guide to Love and Friendship,” we share the key principles for building healthy relationships. Engagingly, in the form of infographics and illustrations, we answer questions that often concern teenagers around the age of 12:
- How to accept yourself and not depend on others' opinions
- How to make friends and trust
- How to understand parents and maintain relationships with them
- What is the role of romantic relationships and when is it time
- How to find your tribe of those who understand and support you

In seven chapters, we explore all possible areas of relationships: family, friends, loved ones, different groups, and the world as a whole. We begin with relationships with oneself as the foundation for all future relationships in life. This section visually differs from the others and is designed like a personal diary, containing reflections, doubts, and discoveries.

Learning to build relationships is never too late, but the best time is during childhood and adolescence when social intelligence is actively developing, and one first formulates these questions while being open to answers. Don’t miss it!
