Your Friendship Power Pack: How to Create Thriving Friendships During Adulthood

What if the cure to the loneliness epidemic came down to one simple thing: high-quality experiences of friendship? If you think friendship doesn’t matter, consider this: The average American hasn’t made a single new friend in the last five years, and the resultant loneliness causes as much stress and inflammation in the body as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. In this talk, Kat shares the most galvanizing and insightful takeaways from her new book, We Should Get Together: The Secret to Cultivating Better Friendships. We Should Get Together uncovers the four biggest challenges to creating and maintaining friendships during adulthood, and provides the tools for creating deep, high-quality connections. In the short time since its release, it’s been helping adults around the world form more meaningful and resilient friendship and community.
