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 readers 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.

        Friendshipping podcast cohosts and pals Bane and Garritano offer a handy guide to making friends and maintaining friendships. Geared to young adults who are leaving a school environment for the first time, the advice focuses first on using “metathinking,” or “thinking about the way you think,” as a tool for “noticing strengths and weaknesses” and understanding how one learns. This, the authors posit, is the key to getting over one’s awkwardness concerning small talk and other aspects of friendship that might fill one with dread. The authors provide tips on a range of topics, including how to find new friends by starting a club or organizing a get-together, how to break up with a friend, how to ask friends to stop setting one up on dates, and what to do when a friendship seems like it might be turning into romance. They also consider how to bring a friendship from online to real life and the benefits and pitfalls of social media use. The authors successfully translate the conversational, easygoing tone of the podcast in their upbeat admonitions to be proactive with friendships. Those looking to bring more intentionality and kindness to relationships will get much out of this.
