Overview
The essential guide to the most important relationships in your life.
We are more connected than ever before, yet we are living through an epidemic of loneliness. We have "friends" on screens, but struggle to find someone to call in a crisis. Why is it so hard to maintain deep, meaningful platonic bonds?
In The Friendship Cure, Kate Leaver explores why friendship is the essential "cure" for the stresses of modern life. Part manifesto and part deeply researched investigation, Leaver combines scientific research, sociology, and moving personal stories to examine the mechanics of connection.
From "work wives" and "bromances" to the impact of social media and the vital importance of community, this book is a celebration of the bonds that keep us sane.
Whether you are looking to heal a "friendship breakup," deepen your existing bonds, or navigate the complexities of making new friends as an adult, Leaver provides the insight and empathy needed to build a more connected life.
