X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Join us in virtual conversation with bests
 elling author Dr. Marisa Franco\, one of the world&rsquo\;s leading expert
 s in human connection. Her book\,&nbsp\;Platonic: How the Science of Attac
 hment Can Help You Make&ndash\;And Keep&ndash\;Friends\, explores the scie
 nce of different attachment styles and how they impact our relationships&n
 dash\;often in ways we don&rsquo\;t realize!</p>\n<p>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&nbsp\;Platonic\, Dr. Marisa G. Franco unpacks the latest\, 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 organicall
 y&rdquo\; (making friends\, like cultivating any relationship\, requires e
 ffort!). As Dr. Franco explains\, to make and keep friends you must unders
 tand your attachment style&mdash\;secure\, anxious\, or avoidant: it is th
 e key to unlocking what&rsquo\;s working (and what&rsquo\;s failing) in yo
 ur friendships.</p>\n<p>Making new friends\, and deepening longstanding re
 lationships\, is possible at any age&mdash\;in fact\, it&rsquo\;s essentia
 l. The good news: there are specific\, research-based ways to improve the 
 number and quality of your connections using the insights of attachment th
 eory and the latest scientific research on friendship.&nbsp\;Platonic&nbsp
 \;provides a clear and actionable blueprint for forging strong\, lasting c
 onnections with others&mdash\;and for becoming our happiest\, most fulfill
 ed selves in the process.</p>\n<p>Register today to learn more about how t
 o harness the science of human connection to create cultures of belonging.
