SUMMARY:The Power of Connection: Creating Lasting Friendships in an Increasingly Lonely World with Dr. Marisa Franco
DESCRIPTION:\n\n \n\nJoin us in virtual conversation with bestselling 
 author Dr. Marisa Franco\, one of the world’s leading experts in human 
 connection. Her book\, Platonic: How the Science of Attachment Can Help You 
 Make–And Keep–Friends\, explores the science of different attachment 
 styles and how they impact our relationships–often in ways we don’t 
 realize!\n\nRegister here:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow do we 
 make and keep friends in an era of distraction\, burnout\, and chaos\, 
 especially in a society that often prizes romantic love at the expense of 
 other relationships? In Platonic\, Dr. Marisa G. Franco unpacks the 
 latest\, often counterintuitive findings about the bonds between us—for 
 example\, why your friends aren’t texting you back (it’s not because 
 they hate you!)\, and the myth of “friendships happening organically” 
 (making friends\, like cultivating any relationship\, requires effort!). As 
 Dr. Franco explains\, to make and keep friends you must understand your 
 attachment style—secure\, anxious\, or avoidant: it is the key to 
 unlocking what’s working (and what’s failing) in your 
 friendships.\n\nMaking new friends\, and deepening longstanding 
 relationships\, is possible at any age—in fact\, it’s essential. The 
 good news: there are specific\, research-based ways to improve the number 
 and quality of your connections using the insights of attachment theory and 
 the latest scientific research on friendship. Platonic provides a clear and 
 actionable blueprint for forging strong\, lasting connections with 
 others—and for becoming our happiest\, most fulfilled selves in the 
 process.\n\nRegister today to learn more about how to harness the science 
 of human connection to create cultures of belonging. \n\nAbout the 
 Author:\n\nAn enlightening psychologist\, New York Times bestselling 
 author\, and TED speaker\, Dr. Marisa G. Franco is known for digesting and 
 communicating science in ways that resonate deeply enough with people to
