In the book

And the first deposit is always yours to make — in any true togetherness there is no free ride; to receive, you first have to give, and you can only really give if you care more for the other than for yourself. The simplest deposit of all is attention: to be fully aware of and present to every person you deal with, especially the ones closest to you. A few laws govern that account. — Friends, Community & Society (Relationships/Community/Society)
