Publisher's Synopsis
If you've ever tried to meet new people as an adult, you understand why loneliness is at an all-time high. Making new pals is quite difficult.How do we establish and keep friends in an age of distraction, exhaustion, and upheaval, particularly in a society that frequently prioritizes romantic love over other relationships?For example, why aren't your friends texting you back (it's not because they hate you! ), and the fallacy of "friendships happening organically" (creating friends, like cultivating any connection, takes effort!).To create and keep friends, you must first understand your attachment style-secure, anxious, or avoidant-because this is the key to understanding what works (and what doesn't) in your connections.Making new acquaintances and deepening long-standing ties is achievable and necessary at any age. The good news is that there are precise, research-based methods for increasing the frequency and quality of your connections by leveraging attachment theory and the most recent scientific studies on friendship. The Science Of Genuine Friendship offers a clear and effective roadmap for building strong, lasting connections with others-and, in the process, becoming our happiest, most fulfilled selves.
