Her book\, Platonic: How the Science of Attachment Can Help You Make&ndash\;And Keep&ndash\;Friends\, explores the science of different attachment styles and how they impact our relationships&ndash\; often in ways we don&rsquo\;t realize!
\n
How do we make and ke
ep friends in an era of distraction\, burnout\, and chaos\, especially in
a society that often prizes romantic love at the expense of other relation
ships? In Platonic\, Dr. Marisa G. Franco unpacks the latest\, often count
erintuitive findings about the bonds between us&mdash\;for example\, why y
our friends aren&rsquo\;t texting you back (it&rsquo\;s not because they h
ate you!)\, and the myth of &ldquo\;friendships happening organically&rdqu
o\; (making friends\, like cultivating any relationship\, requires effort!
). As Dr. Franco explains\, to make and keep friends you must understand y
our attachment style&mdash\;secure\, anxious\, or avoidant: it is the key
to unlocking what&rsquo\;s working (and what&rsquo\;s failing) in your fri
endships.
Making new friends\, and deepening longstanding re
lationships\, is possible at any age - in fact\, it&rsquo\;s essential. Th
e good news: there are specific\, research-based ways to improve the numbe
r and quality of your connections using the insights of attachment theory
and the latest scientific research on friendship. Platonic provides a clea
r and actionable blueprint for forging strong\, lasting connections with o
thers\, and for becoming our happiest\, most fulfilled selves in the proce
ss.

ience of human connection to create cultures of belonging. \;
