Friendshipping: The Art of Finding Friends, Being Friends, and Keeping Friends by Jenn Bane, Trin Garritano
3.0
Friendship etiquette and advice for millennials and Gen-Z people. The book contain some helpful suggestions and good guidance on dealing with friends however I thought the authors came across as entitled and unkind occasionally and even snarky at times. I didn’t like the quick push towards therapy and counseling, which was over the top, in my opinion. 2.5 stars
Fav. Quotes:
Energy comes at a cost and time is a nonrenewable resource. You don’t have to continually initiate plans with people you just aren’t clicking with. Invest in the people who are kind to you and to others; people with whom you share a hobby or sense of humor; people whose company you enjoy.
Only give advice when it’s wanted or has been requested. If you are the typical advice-giving type, we get it! You’re coming from a good place! You just want to help! But pause to consider how your advice is being received: You may be accidentally talking down to someone you care about, or you might just be making your friends feel plain silly. (You can safely assume that your friend has done all the obvious stuff. They probably already googled their problem and read the first ten results.)
