About this product
Product Information
This essential go-to guide reveals how women can enhance their lives by creating valuable friendships in today's busy, mobile world, from nationally recognized friendship expert and CEO of GirlFriendCircles.com.Every woman is searching for a happier, healthier, more fulfilling life. Many realize the significant role that an intimate, tightly knit circle of friends plays in creating a more fulfilling life, but with hectic schedules, frequent moves, and life changes, it's more important than ever for women to establish natural, meaningful friendships that will contribute to their overall wellbeing.In Friendships Don't Just Happen!, Shasta Nelson, friendship expert and CEO of GirlFriendCircles.com, reveals the most important proven steps, processes, and secrets vital to establishing the five different levels of friendships, or Circles of Connectedness, that women-no matter their age or relationship status-are longing for in today's stressful and mobile culture. This revolutionary, engaging guide will also benefit women who already feel rooted to fabulous friends, with insightful principles that will help them maintain and enhance their current friendships.Full of practical how-to tips, fun activities, guiding questions, and step-by-step instructions, Friendships Don't Just Happen! highlights several areas of developing lasting friendships, teaching women how to:Evaluate their current circle of friendsRecognize what types of friends they are seeking based on career, interests, location, and relationship statusCreate a prioritized friendship action planFind extraordinary friends-where to look and how to approach themTake initiative to jumpstart friendships and face fears of rejectionEstablish "frientimacy," trust, and happiness through conversation and activitiesMaintain meaningful friendships and determine which ones are worthwhileExcerpt from Friendships Don't Just Happen:There is a lie out there that real friendship just happens.When I was new to San Francisco eight years ago, I remember standing at a cafe window on Polk Street watching a group of women inside, huddled around a table laughing. Like the puppy dog at the pound, I looked through the glass, wishing someone would pick me to be theirs. I had a phone full of far-flung friends' phone numbers, but I didn't yet know anyone I could just sit and laugh with in a cafe.It hit me how very hard the friendship process is. I'm an outgoing, socially comfortable woman with a long line of good friendships behind me. And yet I stood there feeling very lonely. And insecure. And exhausted at just the idea of how far I was from that reality.I knew I couldn't just walk in there and introduce myself to them. "Hi! You look like fun women, can I join you?" I would have been met with stares of pity. No one wants to seem desperate, even if we are. We don't have platonic pick-up lines memorized. Flirting for friends seems creepy. Asking for her phone number like we're going to call her up for a Saturday night date is just plain weird. All the batting of my eyelashes wasn't going to send the right signals.And so I turned away from the scene of laughter and walked away.No, unfortunately, friendships don't just happen.We Value BelongingFriendships may not happen automatically, but what we crave about them sure seems to! We all want to belong-that need to be connected to others is an inherent desire. We live our entire lives trying to fit in, be known, attract acceptance, and experience intimacy. We desperately want to have others care about us. This book is about that hunger. And more pointedly, it is about listening to it and learning how to fulfill it.

Reviews
"Shasta articulates and deconstructs friendship so powerfully, inspiring women to reclaim the soul of friendship and giving us the tools and language to be able to do so with depth and connection." -Ayesha Mathews Wadhwa, Savor the Success Leader "Shasta has created extremely powerful tools to help women evaluate . . . their friendships so they can clearly see what they need to do to have fulfilling friendships in their lives." -Nancy Larocca Hedley, SF Coaches Programs Co-Director, 2009, "I knew I'd adore Friendships Don't Just Happen! as soon as I saw the title. It's tough to make friends as an adult, and women are often made to think we've done something wrong if new pals don't come easily. Shasta Nelson does a great job of breaking down how to identify the friendships you need, how to go about forging new relationships, and how to turn those relationships into true friendships. I'd recommend this book to anyone who is looking to make new friends or strengthen their existing friendships. In fact, there is no one who won't benefit from reading Friendships Don't Just Happen! " -Rachel Bertsche, author of MWF Seeking BFF: My Yearlong Search for a New Best Friend "As CEO of GirlFriendCircles.com, Shasta Nelson has made bringing women together her life's work. Now, Shasta has written an inspiring book that empowers women to reach out and connect as individuals. Friendships Don't Just Happen! is a call to action, offering women practical tips and tools to find and nurture meaningful friendships. The perfect workbook for someone who wants to work on their friendships!" -Irene S. Levine, PhD, Professor of Psychiatry, NYU School of Medicine, author of Best Friends Forever: Surviving a Breakup with Your Best Friend "How could it be that I made it through graduate school and yet I was never taught about healthy friendships? As I was reading Friendships Don't Just Happen!, I had this profound wish that someone had shared all of this amazing information with me when I was much younger. This book should be required reading for women of all ages and especially for mothers of daughters." -Christine Bronstein, CEO of A Band of Wives, editor of Nothing But the Truth So Help Me God: 51 Women Reveal the Power of Positive Female Connection "Loving friendships are essential to feeling fulfilled and well nourished. And this is one AWESOME book that walks us through really well laid-out steps of creating and nurturing supportive and lifelong friendships that too few of us have been taught or shown." -Christine Hassler, author of 20 Something, 20 Everything and 20 Something Manifesto, speaker and coach "At a time when so many people are "friending" one another online yet reporting feelings of loneliness, Friendships Don't Just Happen! reminds us that friendships worth creating are done with intention and significance." -Dale V. Atkins, PhD, psychologist, author, media commentator "Shasta articulates and deconstructs friendship so powerfully, inspiring women to reclaim the soul of friendship and giving us the tools and language to be able to do so with depth and connection." -Ayesha Mathews Wadhwa, Savor the Success Leader "Shasta has created extremely powerful tools to help women evaluate . . . their friendships so they can clearly see what they need to do to have fulfilling friendships in their lives." -Nancy Larocca Hedley, SF Coaches Programs Co-Director, 2009 "Women read books on parenting, romance, and diet all the time, but when was the last time we read about our friendships? As I read this book I was amazed by how much I didn''t know that I didn''t know. We need this book in huge ways! We''ve never been taught about the types of friends, healthy expectations, incremental vulnerability, and the steps of developing friendships. This book was so eye-opening and hope-filling. Read this book, get one for your mom, sister, friend, clients . . . the art of friendship is seeing a revival thanks to Shasta Nelson!" -Angela Jia Kim, Founder of Savor the Success and Savor Spa "When it comes to getting the girlfriend love you need (and we all need it!), Shasta Nelson has the path. No longer do you need to wish you had close, soulful relationships with other women; with this book as your guide, you are empowered to create them! This book is SO good, so thorough, and so perfect!" -Christine Arylo, self-love teacher and author of Madly in Love with ME: the Daring Adventure to Becoming Your Own Best Friend
