Episode notes

Sardinian people have lower incidences of everything, Alzheimer's, heart disease, lung cancer. Having those close connections allow you to have these micro corrections as you move forward. So it's kind of in-controvertible that friendship is the most sensible thing we can do for our health. And that's exactly why I called the book the friendship cure.

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.
