Friendship, Made Fabulous Again

Drawing from decades of clinical experience, Dr. Bonior uses enlightening anecdotes, modern research, and a healthy dose of humor to explore the interesting, fun, engaging, sometimes-challenging, dramatic, and constantly evolving relationships we have with our friends and acquaintances.

Discover how current technology and social media have rewritten the rules around friendship-making, friendship-keeping, and friendship-breaking. Taking into account individual psychology and modern pop culture, Dr. Bonior provides a practical guide to navigating the world of friends in all their forms: old friends, work friends, online friends, and the new ideal: friends-as-family.

Smart advice, flush with wit and sarcasm, aimed at women grappling with their relationships. Not only does she embrace and trumpet the importance of friendship, the author also offers relevant ideas and non-silly steps to put yourself out there and start creating new friendships. Bonior also tackles often overlooked and weighty topics, such as how to help friends struggling with depression and mental illness [and] the murky waters of friendships that evolve into something more when one friend develops feelings for the other. An overdone topic taken from clinical to fabulous.

This book is awesome... because I’m in it. And because I sort of apologize to everyone in the two pages I’m in. So if you’re sort of mad at me, you should probably buy this book. Or buy it if you aren’t mad at me.
