Episode 4081: Nir Eyal explains that meaningful friendships are built through shared values, mutual commitment, and intentional investment rather than sheer quantity. Discover how defining what friendship means to you, surrounding yourself with people who support your growth, and making consistent time for your closest relationships can help you feel more connected and less lonely. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.nirandfar.com/quality-over-quantity-of-friends/ Quotes to ponder: “Loneliness has less to do with the number of friends you have, and more to do with how you feel about your friends.” “We don’t necessarily need to have the same interests as our friends, but we do need to have values that mesh.” “When it comes to relationships, as with many things in life, consistency is more powerful than intensity.” Episode references: University of Southern California: https://www.usc.edu/ Indistractable: https://www.amazon.com/Indistractable-Control-Your-Attention-Choose/dp/194883653X Learn more about your ad choices.
