Yet, we receive relatively little guidance when it comes to developing and nurturing our friendships as adults.\n\nThis book unlocks the secrets to thriving social relationships and reveals the formula to create deep bonds and extraordinary connections. It contains more than forty exercises and techniques originating from authentic relating, non-violent communication, functional analytic psychotherapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and much more.\n\nWhat makes some friendships last while others fade away? How can we deepen our connection with an acquaintance or someone we have known for years? How can we manage conflicts so that our friendships are not weakened but rather strengthened by them? When can and should we break up with a friend? All of these and more questions are answered and illuminated.\n\nLearn how to: \n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMake new friends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMove from mutual acquaintance to real friendship\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConnect even deeper with the friends you have\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTurn your vulnerability into an advantage\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBreak free from old habitual patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSkillfully manage and prevent conflict\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ci\u003eThe Power of Friendship\u003c\/i\u003e is written by three friends with a burning passion for relationships: two clinical psychologists and one researcher with a PhD in neuroscience.\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47428305158380,"sku":"9781472147981","price":27.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781472147981.jpg?v=1774497075"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/frida-bern-andersson.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
