"I feel like it's a deficit of having one-on-one time and often times, right? And then so it's really hard to go from that," she says. "It's my greatest hope that people will put down my book and pick up the phone and try and connect with someone."
On this episode, we welcome journalist Kate Leaver to talk about her new book The Friendship Cure in which she explores the crippling, damaging, life-threatening impact of loneliness and the severe mental health impacts of living a life disconnected from a support network of close contacts. But...there is a cure...learning how to connect with others and curate better friendships.
In the interview we talk about loneliness, how to make friends, the difference between male and female friendship, platonic friendships, friends with benefits and lots, lots, more.
