About this listen

 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. Christian Living Christianity Personal Development Personal Success Emotions Community Development

This book is heavily based on Christian thinking and belief, which I think should be stated somewhere on the cover. "Community building for creationists" might be a more fitting title.

While I welcome people having their own beliefs and don't mind a smattering of God talk, I don't welcome people pushing their beliefs on me, especially as this is a self help book and reasoning based on the existence of God is, from my point of view, faulty. As soon as she started stating that God made you for community I knew this was a book I could get nothing from.

Non-inclusive if you're not a Christian creationis

I’m not religious so the constant references to Jesus, god and the holy trinity and how we are at war with the enemy it god are too much for me. I also find she spends far too much time talking about herself in a very self indulgent manner. It might resonate with some but I just found it annoying to listen to as I didn’t buy a biography of the author

Too religious and self indulgent

God has placed me somewhere where I knew no one and now I feel like I know everyone and this book could not have come at a better time. It’s encouraged me towards greater connection with others. I love how your heart shines through in this book and that you read it to us. Thank you for your sacrifice to birth this baby. ❤️

Thank you Jesus for Jennie

Very preachy, not practical advice about finding/developing networks. Irritating to be told how God has created us, if only that were true.

Author's main message "Find God" not useful.

I disliked this book as I didnt realise it was about God and Church when buying.

I didn't realise this was a religious themed book
