About this listen
A case for friendship as a radical practice of love, courage, and trust, and seven strategies that pave the way for profound social change.
Grounded in the Buddha’s teachings on spiritual friendship, Radical Friendship shares seven strategies to help us embody our deepest values in all of our relationships. Drawing on her experiences as a leading meditation teacher, as well as personal stories of growing up multiracial in a racist world, Kate Johnson brings a fresh take on time-honored wisdom to help us connect more authentically with ourselves, with our friends and family, and within our communities.
The divides we experience within us and between us are not only a threat to our physical and emotional health - they are also the weapons and the outcomes of structural oppression. But through wise relationships, it is possible to transform the barriers created by societal injustice. Johnson leads us on a journey to becoming better friends by offering ways to show up for our own and each other’s liberation at every stage of a relationship. Each chapter ends with a meditation or reflection practice to help listeners cultivate vibrant, harmonious, revolutionary friendships. Radical Friendship offers a path of depth and hope and shows us the importance of working toward collective well-being, one relationship at a time.

Such a gift
I couldn’t stop listening to this book. I loved the practices and meditations offered at the end of each chapter. It really helped anchor the insights in my body. The reality of how challenging all kinds of relationships can be and the reality of our collective experience of injustice were not sugar coated, yet the approaches offered are full of compassion. It’s both heavy and light. Definitely going to purchase a copy for future reference, guidance, and practice.
I want all my friends and everyone to read this book.
