## What Jamie wrote

I’m a big believer in Dunbar's Number and I’m super interested to hear that he has a new book out, [Friends: Understanding the Power of Our Most Important Relationships](https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781408711736). I particularly find it interesting to consider how our work relationships and social media occupy space in these circles. The [full interview](https://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2021/05/robin-dunbar-explains-circles-friendship-dunbars-number/618931/) is a good read.
