Summary of Adam Smiley Poswolsky's Friendship in the Age of Loneliness

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I used to feel most surrounded by friends when I was a freshman at Wesleyan University in 2001. I spent a lot of time with my close friends, listening to scratched Weezer CDs and Napster playlists, trying to study in the library, and smoking joints on the Hill. #2 Taking a digital detox can help you disconnect and reconnect with your friends and family. It can also help you prioritize your friends over worrying about your followers. #3 To add more presence to your days, trade screen time for friend time. In your phone settings, click on SCREEN TIME and check the average daily amount of time you spent on your phone and your total screen time for the week. Note your daily average of phone pickups. #4 The power of play is transformative and liberating. It breaks down our misconceptions of what it means to be an adult in a success-driven, status-obsessed society. It allows us to be kids again, and remember what it was like to not have any responsibilities.
