Summary:
"Is understanding the
science
of
attachment
the key to building lasting friendships and finding “your people” in an ever-more-fragmented world?
How
do we
make
and
keep
friends
in an era of distraction, burnout, and chaos, especially in a society that often prizes romantic love at the expense of other relationships? In
Platonic
, Dr. Marisa G. Franco unpacks the latest, often counterintuitive findings about the bonds between us -- for example, why your
friends
aren't texting you back (it's not because they hate you!), and the myth of 'friendships happening organically' (making
friends
, like cultivating any relationship, requires effort!). As Dr. Franco explains, to
make
and
keep
friends
you must understand your
attachment
style -- secure, anxious, or avoidant: it is the key to unlocking what's working (and what's failing) in your friendships. Making new
friends
, and deepening longstanding relationships, is possible at any age -- in fact, it's essential. The good news: there are specific, research-based ways to improve the number and quality of your connections using the insights of
attachment
theory and the latest scientific research on friendship.
Platonic
provides a clear and actionable blueprint for forging strong, lasting connections with others -- and for becoming our happiest, most fulfilled selves in the process."--Publisher.
