Currently Reading: Friendship in the Age of Loneliness by Adam Smiley Poswolsky 📚
This is definitely aimed at people who already have lots of friends who want to build stronger relationships. Sooooo, not me.
In each of the short chapters the author takes the opportunity to plug his successful friends. This gets tiresome and almost makes it feel like the book’s purpose is just to promote these people.
The author lives a life of privilege, so it is hard to relate to most of the stories, like being at a destination wedding in Morroco, attending a small private university on the East Coast, and attending Burning Man.
And some of the advice, like taking a little vacation with a friend for a few days each month seems ridiculous.
Rich-tech-bro vibes.
There is enough helpful information to push me to finish the book, but it is going slowly, which is telling.
