Weave Well — Your Friendship Portfolio

The Problem

"Most of us use one word, friend, for very different people, and then wonder why something is missing. Grant's research-based map shows four kinds of connection, each meeting a different need: loneliness is the absence of companions, joylessness the absence of pals, and aimlessness the absence of allies. This course helps you see your own portfolio and grow it, in a time when technology makes it easy to avoid the effort real bonds take."

The right fit

Designed for For anyone who wants richer ties: students far from home, people starting over in a new city or job, parents whose social life has narrowed, people in later life, and anyone whose screen is filling time that people used to fill.

"Friend" is too small a word for all the people in our lives. A companion to Adam Grant's Vibe, with Marissa King's Social Chemistry, this course maps your people on four wavelengths of connection (associates, pals, allies and companions), helps you grow the thin ones on purpose, shows you the shape of your network, and keeps real human ties strong in the age of AI.
