I saw this title reviewed in Library Journal and it piqued my interest. I'm often wondering if I don't have enough local friends and about the conflict between my needs for contact and solitude. It's an easy and comforting read, chock full of anecdotes and validation. It's a relatively short book so the scope is a little narrow, focusing on friendships between women only and it barely touched upon the difficulties of financial disparities between friends - even though a lot of her anecdotal women go shopping together... But the tone is friendly and there are useful ideas in it. The funny thing is, during the time I was reading it on my commute, I've been working on a couple new friendships and come into contact with some old friends. (June 29, 2005) ( ) Probably very helpful if you sincerely want friends and need the guidance. I was so energized after reading it (in just one evening!) that I had trouble sleeping. Then I woke up, and realized that I truly am a loner, and though I value you, my online friends, I don't want more social interaction than I get here. No matter what the 'experts' say about healthy networks, I don't need ppl to show up with casseroles if I'm sick, or ppl to complain about my husband to, or ppl to shop with. Never have. Right now I don't even have anything to sort out in a journal. I'm content on my own, tyvm. (I am a homemaker for husband and two nearly grown sons. They, too, are self-sufficient... but I do make sure we have at least 5 family dinners/ week to make sure we don't become too isolated. Just saying, so you don't get concerned. ;) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
As seen in Self, Fitness, Real Simple, Health, Ladies' Home Journal, and Redbook, this much-praised celebration of women's friendships-now in paperback-explores the keys to forming emotionally supportive and sustaining connections at every stage in life. Embraced by some of the most popular women's magazines, The Friendship Crisis has struck a chord with women everywhere who know that finding close friends as an adult isn't easy. Most women rely heavily on their friendships with other women to share their joy and see them through the rough spots, but common life changes-having a baby, leaving a job, moving to a new town, starting an at-home business, becoming divorced or widowed-not only make it difficult to forge new ties but often fray the ones we already have. Marla Paul brings together the moving personal experiences of many different women with the keen insights of psychologists and other relationship experts in "her wise and helpful book on this much neglected subject," says Harriet Lerner, Ph.D. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
