The Capacity for Deep Friendships
According to research by Robin Dunbar, humans have a capacity for about 150 relationships, with 12 being good friends and 3 being great friends. Jesus also had a similar pattern of investing in relationships, with 72 followers in Luke 10, 12 close friends, and Peter, James, and John as the closest friends. The book encourages people to strategically think about their circles of friends and aim for a healthy balance of great friends, good friends, and acquaintances.
