Synopsis

With the constant connectivity of today’s world, it’s never been easier to meet people and make new friends—but it’s never been harder to form meaningful friendships. In Frientimacy, award-winning speaker Shasta Nelson shows how anyone can form stronger, more meaningful friendships, marked by a level of trust she calls “frientimacy.” Shasta explores the most common complaints and conflicts facing female friendships today, and lays out strategies for overcoming these pitfalls to create deeper, supportive relationships that last for the long-term. Shasta is the founder of girlfriendcircles.com, a community of women seeking stronger, more fulfilling friendships, and the author of Friendships Don’t Just Happen. In Frientimacy, she teaches readers to reject the impulse to pull away from friendships that aren’t instantly and constantly gratifying. With a warm, engaging, and inspiring voice, she shows how friendships built on dedication and commitment can lead to enriched relationships, stronger and more meaningful ties, and an overall increase in mental health. Frientimacy is more than just a call for deeper connection between friends; it’s a blueprint for turning simple friendships into true bonds—and for the meaningful and satisfying relationships that come with them.

Wow. This book was AMAZING. As in, I was looking forward to reading it and thought it would have some useful information and reflections for me.

Goodreads review by Kaitlin on July 10, 2022

I enjoyed reading this book — so much actionable advice and research in one! I will be thinking about this for a long time. At times it was hard to read because it requires you to examine your own behavior. Something else I noticed was that the author plugs her own books fairly frequently. I do wish......more

Goodreads review by Katie on April 02, 2021

The info in this book is too good not to read and then reread. I think I only retained a fraction of what I wanted to get out of it so I will be revisiting. This book gives a lot of perspective. My favorite part was addressing toxicity and those cliche sayings about friendships and cutting people ou......more

Goodreads review by Hannah on June 23, 2022

I have read a couple books on friendship and this one is definitely my favorite! I love her “friendship triangle” and how she helps readers analyze and understand friendship. She also goes over obstacles that prevent us from fulfilling relationships with the people around us. It was like a friendshi......more
