Episode notes

"There is something happening in our culture when it comes to male friendship as well," she says. "I've definitely the J.D. and Turk relationship on television was a completely new experience for me." The book explores what you call this intimacy deficiency that men have, but don't know how to overcome.

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.
