Nellie's Reviews > Find Your People: Building Deep Community in a Lonely World

For a book that is supposed to be about making deep connections, I think the information and examples provided were very shallow. I came out of the book with the same amount of knowledge I had going into the book so...nothing profoundly helpful or groundbreaking here.

Much of the book was repetitive and could be summed up as "making friends is good, but making friends is also hard," which is just common knowledge, honestly. I don't think anyone who is actively picking up a book about how to make friends doesn't already know that.

The author's idea of friendship and my idea of friendship must be different because the strategies she suggests are not ones I would use or ones I would like potential friends to use on me. And the way that she perceives friendship as having to be needy, pushy, burdensome, and full of sobbing breakdowns to be genuine and 'real' and 'deep' would not make me feel comfortable. I promise someone is not your best friend just because you cried in front of them.
