Episode notes

I think men tend to be shoulder to shoulder against the world. They tend to do activities together to bond. Whereas women tend to sit face to face both literally and figuratively, you know, at a table. Then sort of they confront one another and tend to be more intimate in the way they speak. So there's a way to kind of like get the best of both worlds here, which is for men to be friends with women. What a crazy idea.

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.
