In How To Tell A Friend From A Flatterer, Plutarch gives a number of good reasons why friendship requires frankness of speech (parrhesia). But he spends equal time stressing that this doesn't mean anything goes in criticism! Legitimate limits and a sense of proportion are needed.

Got up in front of the camera and the chalkboard to shoot this new core concept video on frankness of speech in Plutarch's How To Tell A Flatterer From A Friend. Feels good to get back to that work after the surgery, but it took it out of me a bit!
