About this listen
Friendships are obviously an important part of our relationships, not only in childhood and adolescence, but throughout life; but how much thought have you given to understanding what motivates friendships in adulthood and what makes them tick? Well, this book attempts to shed light on the nature of these extremely valuable and sustaining interactions with the intention of enriching and protecting them. If you have been lucky, maybe wise is a better word, you have maintained friendships with individuals of both sexes from the past and present, no matter how old you are, or who are at the center of your emotional live.
Incorporating the information in this book about the nature of friendships, in childhood and adulthood, will only double your efforts to make new friends and keep the old ones.
Based on fifty years of study of human nature through his work as a therapist, teacher and friend; Board Certified Adult and Child Psychiatrist and Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at the University of California at San Diego, Calvin Colarusso M.D. is uniquely qualified to address the subject. Multiple clinical examples illustrate the dynamics that underlie friendships.
Think of this book as a way to enrich your friendships, and thus your life.
Friendships in Adulthood provides the following information, and more:
- A definition of friendship
- A description of how the nature of friendships changes throughout the life cycle.
- The fluidity of friendships in childhood.
- The vital role of friendships in adolescence and young adulthood.
- The nature and difficulties of couples friendships.
- Adult friends serving as reality checks.
- The role of friendships in old age.

An affair: It can rob a couple of their relationship, their happiness, their very identity. And yet this extremely common human experience is so poorly understood. Adultery has existed since marriage was invented, and so, too, the prohibition against it - in fact it has a tenacity that marriage can only envy. Iconic couples' therapist and best-selling author of Mating in Captivity Esther Perel returns with a groundbreaking and provocative look at infidelity, arguing for a more nuanced and less judgmental conversation about our transgressions.

The most important issue in a gay man’s life is not “coming out”, but coming to terms with the invalidating past. Despite the progress made in recent years, many gay men still wonder, “Are we better off?” The byproduct of growing up gay in a straight world continues to be the internalization of shame, rejection, and anger - a toxic cocktail that can lead to drug abuse, promiscuity, alcoholism, depression, and suicide.

Great marriages don't just happen - they're made, intentionally, day by day. Yet most of us enter the covenant of marriage thinking that the role of spouse will be easy, natural, effortless. Rarely is this true. In fact, the number one cause of divorce isn't adultery or finances or disagreements. It's apathy - a lack of intentional emotional, physical, and mental investment in the relationship.

The difficulties experienced by adult children of narcissists can manifest themselves in many ways - for example, physical self-loathing that takes the form of overeating, anorexia, or bulimia; a self-destructive streak that causes poor job performance and rocky personal relationships; or a struggle with the self that is perpetuated in the adult's interaction with his or her own children. These dilemmas are both common and correctable, Elan Golomb tells us.

John Bradshaw is arguably the most accomplished and well-known leader alive today in the addictions field. He taught us about functional and dysfunctional families, showed us how shame could become toxic and poisonous to our core selves, and helped us understand and heal the wounded, vulnerable "inner child" conceived by, and thriving in, that environment. In Post-Romantic Stress Disorder (PRSD), Bradshaw gives readers a clear explanation of the difference between falling in love, lust, and true love.

Some of the most effective talk therapy is self-talk therapy - learning to connect positively with that internal voice that serves as your own personal GPS to guide you through life. Rabbi Shmuley teaches the reader to reconnect with the inner voice of conscience, the source of personal dreams and values, which has been so drowned out by the noise of a culture that emphasizes form over substance, career over calling, and consumption over conviction. Drawing on Rabbi Shmuley's extensive counseling experience, this book helps you defeat negative self-talk.
