In school, proximity and shared schedules did the work for us. But as adults, those built-in social structures disappear, leaving many of us feeling like we missed a secret memo on how to connect.

It addresses the silent epidemic of adult loneliness with empathy and actionable strategy. You will learn how to navigate major life transitions—like moving to a new city or changing careers—that often shrink our social networks, and more importantly, you will learn how to recreate the conditions that allow friendships to thrive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom the courage to reach out first to the art of active listening, Roberts provides a comprehensive guide for building a social life that fits your actual capacity.
