Publisher Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • WINNER OF THE ECPA BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD • The author of Get Out of Your Head offers practical solutions for creating true community, the kind that’s crucial to our mental and spiritual health.

“My dear friend Jennie Allen shows us how to make true emotional connections with the right people so that our authentic relationships can be healthy for all.”—Lysa TerKeurst, author of It’s Not Supposed to Be This Way
 
In a world that’s both more connected and more isolating than ever before, we’re often tempted to do life alone, whether because we’re so busy or because relationships feel risky and hard. But science confirms that consistent, meaningful connection with others has a powerful impact on our well-being. We are meant to live known and loved. But so many are hiding behind emotional walls that we’re experiencing an epidemic of loneliness.
 
In Find Your People, bestselling author Jennie Allen draws on fascinating insights from science and history, timeless biblical truth, and vulnerable stories from her own life to help you:

• overcome the barriers to making new friends and learn to initiate with easy-to-follow steps
• find simple ways to press through awkward to get to authentic in conversations
• understand how conflict can strengthen relationships rather than destroy them
• identify the type of friend you are and the types of friends you need
• learn the five practical ingredients you need to have the type of friends you’ve always longed for
 
You were created to play, engage, adventure, and explore—with others. In Find Your People, you’ll discover exactly how to dive into the deep end and experience the full wonder of community. Because while the ache of loneliness is real, it doesn’t have to be your reality.

Not Science but Religion

I got this book because I was intrested in the "scientific facts" and practical tips of being part of a village.... I was not expecting all the God and Bible references. I am listening to the author's voice on an audiobook, and I feel that the only way to be in a village is to find a group to pray with....

Every bible and god reference makes me feel so squeamy, is that the only way to gain friends? I dont feel included. This book makes me feel worse because I don't pray and think of Jesus the way she does. I mean its like she expects the whole world to be like Jesus or else they are unworthy of being in a village. The ironic thing is, all her examples of villages she sites in the past are villages that believe in paganism. There is barely any scientific or historical facts in this book, and left feeling excluded and undeserving of that utopian village of friends. I will not bother finishing the book for my own mental health.
