In a world engineered for speed, self-sufficiency, and screens, many of us feel lonelier than ever. We expect friendship to be easy, effortless, and automatic. But for most of human history, connection wasn’t a luxury; it was the fabric of daily life. We didn’t “make time” for one another in calendar blocks—we lived together inside shared rhythms, rituals, and responsibilities.
In How to Make a Friend, bestselling author and community-builder Radha Agrawal reveals what modern culture has forgotten: friendship is gloriously inefficient—and that’s exactly why it matters. Drawing on research and decades of building real-world communities, Radha exposes the myth of toxic individualism and offers a radical reframe. Friendship doesn’t optimize for productivity or perfection; it optimizes for meaning. It asks us to show up when it’s inconvenient, lean into awkwardness, repair instead of retreat, and choose presence over performance.
Inside, you’ll learn how to:
- Embrace awkwardness as the gateway to real intimacy
- Build friendships through honest, human conversations—one moment at a time
- Protect the “vibe” of a relationship or gathering before it fractures
- Use simple scripts for invitation, repair, and enrollment
- Become a community architect and design environments where connection can thrive
