A thoughtful guide to building the deep, lasting friendships we all need, but rarely talk about. Friending: Creating Meaningful, Lasting Adult Relationships is a compassionate and practical book that explores the often-overlooked world of adult friendship. As our lives become busier and more complex, forming and maintaining strong bonds can feel out of reach. This book dives into why friendship matters just as much as romantic or familial love, and how to build the kind of supportive, joyful relationships that enrich your life. Whether you're moving to a new city, navigating major life changes, or simply realizing that social media isn't enough, Friending offers insights, encouragement, and actionable advice to help you show up for others, and let them show up for you.
