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 relati onships&ndash\;often in ways we don&rsquo\;t realize!
\nHow do we ma ke and keep friends in an era of distraction\, burnout\, and chaos\, espec ially in a society that often prizes romantic love at the expense of other relationships? In \;Platonic\, Dr. Marisa G. Franco unpacks the lates t\, often counterintuitive findings about the bonds between us&mdash\;for example\, why your friends aren&rsquo\;t texting you back (it&rsquo\;s not because they hate you!)\, and the myth of &ldquo\;friendships happening o rganically&rdquo\; (making friends\, like cultivating any relationship\, r equires effort!). As Dr. Franco explains\, to make and keep friends you mu st understand your attachment style&mdash\;secure\, anxious\, or avoidant: it is the key to unlocking what&rsquo\;s working (and what&rsquo\;s faili ng) in your friendships.
\nMaking new friends\, and deepening longst anding relationships\, is possible at any age&mdash\;in fact\, it&rsquo\;s essential. The good news: there are specific\, research-based ways to imp rove the number and quality of your connections using the insights of atta chment theory and the latest scientific research on friendship. \;Plat onic \;provides a clear and actionable blueprint for forging strong\, lasting connections with others&mdash\;and for becoming our happiest\, mos t fulfilled selves in the process.
