In this interview Matt Crawford speaks with author Glenda Shaw about her book Better You, Better Friends. It has been proven that friendships benefit our physical and mental health, along with our happiness and even how long we live. Having friends is integral to our survival, yet fewer people have as many close friends as people did decades ago, why? Shaw provides a guide for building these relationships and shows us how to to be open and honest with ourselves in those relationships. With a memoir like feel, personal anecdotes, examples  and interviews with friends, Shaw immerses us in these situations and makes us ponder our friendships in the best of ways. In the era of social media friends this book is the salve we need.
