Produktbeschreibung

"A compelling look at the ways in which women bond...essential reading for anyone trying to build-or maintain-a strong social circle."- BookPage

Do I have enough friends? Why did my friendship end? What makes a good friendship work? These are questions that F. Diane Barth, a psychotherapist widely recognized for her expertise in women's relationships, fields all the time. In I Know How You Feel, she shares engaging stories from interviews with a lively and diverse cast of women, many of whom speak about feelings they haven't shared before. She explores how life changes affect women's friendships in subtle and not-so-subtle ways.

Interweaving examples from a range of sources-from classic women's literature to chick flicks-she provides grounded advice on how to manage betrayal and rejection, how to deal with a narcissistic or bossy friend, what to do when your best friend and your family don't get along, how to let go of a friendship that has stopped working, and much more. This is a timely, empathetic guide for women in their twenties to their sixties and beyond.

"A lively and compassionate guide that defines what is meant by 'friend'in the 21st century...engaging."- Library Journal

"A smart,perceptive, and complex study of women's friendships and how they enhance, color in, and shape our lives."-Susan Shapiro, author of Lighting Up
