The Art of Finding Friends, Being Friends, and Keeping Friends

With eight billion people in the world, why is it so hard to meet and make new friends?

 

Making friends as an adult is not easy. Keeping friends isn't easy, either. There are legitimate obstacles in our way: we're busy, we're anxious, and too often, we're far away. Jenn Bane and Trin Garritano, hosts of the feel-good podcast Friendshipping, know this better than anyone, and they've distilled the heart of their show into this must-have book for anyone who is feeling a little lonely or lost in the challenging landscape of grown-up relationships.

 

You'll learn how to make the journey from acquaintance to friend, why saying "Let's hang out sometime," is rarely an effective invitation, and why it's completely OK to unfollow your pal on social media.

 

Illustrated throughout with Jean Wei's dynamic art, here are the tips and tools readers need to make new pals and improve the quality of existing friendships. Insightful, empathetic, and just a touch irreverent, the advice stresses practicality, self-forgiveness, and inclusivity, with scripts and step-by step guides for making and keeping friendships that are fulfilling, accepting, and lasting.

Robert E. Thayer

A psychological look at how to regulate mood with food and exercise 

How People Regulate Mood with Food and Exercise

Obesity is reaching alarming proportions. In this insightful new approach to understanding why this is happening, acclaimed mood scientist Robert Thayer offers a new appreciation of the real cause--emotional eating. But this is not just emotional eating as previously known; rather it is a new scientific analysis of exactly how different moods affect eating. He shows how unprecedented stress in society and epidemic levels of depression have led people to food as a poor means of managing mood. In this original approach, Thayer describes how people's daily energy and tension variations occur, and how this knowledge helps overcome the urge to eat the wrong food and to achieve the goal of "calm energy." Also, in this most up-to-date scientific analysis of exercise and mood, he shows how physical activity is essential to psychological and physical health, yet why it is resisted. Thayer's work has been discussed in hundreds of magazine and newspaper articles, and here he outlines in
detail the cutting-edge theories and scientific research findings that have generated this extensive media attention.
