Episode notes

I like that section of the book a lot. And that people aren't brutish that they can be complex and I dig it. It doesn't matter that I'm in a relationship now. I decided that he was not for me compatible in a romantic sense. That has given me the freedom to be openly flawed in a way that I wouldn't be necessarily if I was trying to impress someone in a romantic way.

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.
