Description

"Over 40% of adults suffer from loneliness in their lifetime -- young adults being particularly vulnerable -- and research shows that direct loneliness impacts our physical health as much as cigarette addiction! ... loneliness can also make you vulnerable to violent, gender-based crimes, either as a victim, or as an offender. Shahla demonstrates how friends, particularly those of the opposite sex, can help manage your well-being, provide tough love, and act as an always-available personal therapist ... Friends With Benefits will teach you: How to find and be a better friend. Staying away from isolation-related habits. How to think outside the gender box, seeing yourself and others as humans. Dating and mating without sexual double standards ... Friends With Benefits shows you how to beat loneliness, make friends, date healthy, and end rape."--Amazon.com
