  Consortium</a></p>\n<p>Bestselling author Dr. Marisa Franco\, one of the 
 world&rsquo\;s leading experts in human connection\, explores the science 
 of different attachment styles and how they impact our relationships&ndash
 \;often in ways we don&rsquo\;t realize!</p>\n<p>How do we make and keep f
 riends in an era of distraction\, burnout\, and chaos\, especially in a so
 ciety that often prizes romantic love at the expense of other relationship
 s? In&nbsp\;<em>Platonic</em>\, Dr. Marisa G. Franco unpacks the latest\, 
 often counterintuitive findings about the bonds between us&mdash\;for exam
 ple\, why your friends aren&rsquo\;t texting you back (it&rsquo\;s not bec
 ause 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 yo
 ur attachment style&mdash\;secure\, anxious\, or avoidant: it is the key t
 o unlocking what&rsquo\;s working (and what&rsquo\;s failing) in your frie
 ndships.</p>\n<h5>About the Author</h5>\n<p>Psychologist\,&nbsp\;<em>New Y
