TENTANG EPISODE INI

As kids and young adults, friendship is front and centre. Then careers, marriages, and mortgages crowd it out — despite global research showing that friendship is one of the strongest predictors of wellbeing.

In this episode, Garvia speaks with Dr. Marisa Franco, psychologist, professor, and bestselling author of Platonic: How the Science of Attachment Can Help You Make–and Keep–Friends. She explains why our culture undervalues platonic relationships and why making friends gets harder as we get older. She also shares practical tips for meeting new people, turning acquaintances into close friends, and strengthening the bonds you already have.
