Friendship - The Evolution, Biology, And Extraordinary Power Of Life`s Fundamental Bond

In this revelatory investigation, science journalist Lydia Denworth takes us in search of friendship's biological, psychological, and evolutionary foundations. She weaves past and present, field biology and neuroscience, to show how our bodies and minds are designed for friendship across life stages, the processes by which healthy social bonds are developed and maintained, and how friendship is changing in an age of unprecedented use of virtual technologies and social media. Friendship is a clarion call for putting positive relationships at the center of our lives.
