Anna Goldfarb, author of Modern Friendship, is here to help us face a world of thinning connection and rising loneliness head on. Anna gets fired up about how creating closer friendships is in our hands but needs a fine-tuned communication. We focus on how understanding desire and delight can turn our social lives around - from the moment we craft our invites to when we are hanging out together. I hope this episode ignites you to reach out and connect more deeply with those in your life. Like it has for me.
Works mentioned: `Habits of the Heart` by Robert N Bellah et alia, `We Should Get Together` by Kat Vellos.
