X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<p>Her book\,&nbsp\;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!</p>\n<p>How 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&nbsp\;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.</p>\n<p>Making 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.&nbsp\;Plat
 onic&nbsp\;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.</p>\n<p>Register today to learn more ab
 out how to harness the science of human connection to create cultures of b
 elonging.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong>About the Author:</strong></p>\n<p>An enl
