{"product_id":"friendaholic-confessions-of-a-friendship-addict","title":"Friendaholic : Confessions of a Friendship Addict","description":"\u003cp\u003eAs a society, there is a tendency to elevate romantic love. But what about friendships? Aren't they just as - if not more - important? So why is it hard to find the right words to express what these uniquely complex bonds mean to us? In Friendaholic: Confessions of a Friendship Addict, Elizabeth Day embarks on a journey to answer these questions. Growing up, Elizabeth wanted to make everyone like her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLacking friends at school, she grew up to believe that quantity equaled quality. Having lots of friends meant you were loved, popular and safe. She was determined to become a Good Friend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd, in many ways, she did. But in adulthood she slowly realized that it was often to the detriment of her own boundaries and mental health. Then, when a global pandemic hit in 2020, she was one of many who were forced to reassess what friendship really meant to them - with the crisis came a dawning realisation: her truest friends were not always the ones she had been spending most time with. Why was this? Could she rebalance it? Was there such thing as...too many friends? And was she really the friend she thought she was? Friendaholic unpacks the significance and evolution of friendship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom exploring her own personal friendships and the distinct importance of each of them in her life, to the unique and powerful insights of others across the globe, Elizabeth asks why there isn't yet a language that can express its crucial influence on our world. From ghosting and frenemies to social media and seismic life events, Elizabeth leaves no stone unturned. Friendaholic is the book you buy for the people you love but it's also the book you read to become a better friend to yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback | 408 pages\u003cbr\u003e\nLanguage: English\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN: 9780008374907\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: HarperCollins Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication date: 30 Mar 2023\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Biography\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor: Elizabeth Day\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jashanmal Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48407383539869,"sku":"9780008374907","price":54.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0353\/8056\/0012\/files\/9780008374907.jpg?v=1781153455","url":"https:\/\/www.jashanmal.com\/products\/friendaholic-confessions-of-a-friendship-addict","provider":"Jashanmal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
