Publisher's summary

With eight billion people in the world, why is it so hard to meet and make new friends?

Navigating the world of adult friendships can be a real challenge when everyone is busy, overwhelmed, or too often too far away. Here to help are Jenn Bane and Trin Garritano, the duo behind the cult favorite podcast Friendshipping. Insightful, empathetic, and just a touch irreverent, Jenn and Trin give listeners the tools they need to make new friends and revitalize the quality of existing friendships. The book covers it all:

  • Meeting new people
  • Mastering the art of small talk
  • Deciphering the levels of friendship in the workplace
  • Making the first friend move, plus how to give a non-creepy compliment

You’ll also learn why it’s important to use the same IRL etiquette when making friends online; how to decide if a friendship is toxic and know when it’s time to move on; and most important, how to be a better friend, to yourself and others.

Giving you the words to think about your friendships and what you want from them

I’m 40+, divorcing, moved to a new town, almost empty nested — basically starting over — and found I lacked the words and examples I needed to think through what I wanted from current and future friendships and what I definitely didn’t. If you are thinking through the friends you want in your life, the boundaries you want to set with those friends, and the type of friend you want to be (which, let’s face it, is basically everyone) then I highly recommend this book to you.
