Join us at Berkelouw Books Paddington to launch The Friendship Cure by Kate Leaver.

The Friendship Cure is a compelling, fresh and thought-provoking exploration of friendship - what it is, how to keep it, and why we need it more than ever before.

Journalist Kate Leaver believes that friendship is the essential cure for the modern malaise of solitude, ignorance, ill health and angst. If we only treated camaraderie as a social priority, it could affect everything from our physical health and emotional well-being to our capacity to find a home, keep a job, get married, stay married, succeed, feed and understand ourselves.

In this witty, smart book - an appealing blend of science, pop culture and memoir - she meets scientists, speaks to old friends, finds extraordinary stories and uncovers research to look at what friendship is, how it feels, where it can survive, why we need it and what we can do to get the most from it - and how we might change the world if we value it properly.

Join us at 6.30pm on Thursday 5th April 2018 to celebrate the launch of The Friendship Cure. 
The event is open to the public – so come along and meet the author!
