{"product_id":"friends-with-benefits-shahla-khan-9781502419934","title":"Friends With Benefits: Rethinking Friendship, Dating \u0026 Violence","description":"Friends With Benefits is a crash course in adult sex education that unifies humankind against gender based violence. Loneliness is an epidemic. Over 40% of adults suffer from loneliness in their lifetime - young adults being particularly vulnerable - and research shows that direct loneliness impacts our physical health as much as cigarette addiction  In Friends With Benefits, Shahla Khan, an expert in the prevention of gender-based violence, shows how loneliness can also make you vulnerable to violent, gender-based crimes, either as a victim, or as an offender. Shahla demonstrates how friends, particularly those of the opposite sex, can help manage your well-being, provide tough love, and act as an always-available personal therapist.. Too many books spend too much time dishing out the Mars-Venus philosophy - finding the differences between men and women, and relying on harmful pop psychology. The fact is that men and women are both from Earth, and learning to see a human as a friend removes invisible barriers that have been drawn by this defeatist self-help literature. Friends With Benefits will teach you: How to find and be a better friend Staying away from isolation-related habits How to think outside the gender box, seeing yourself and others as humans Dating and mating without sexual double standards Joining the social movement in gender-based violence prevention Shahla Khan presents all this and more, in a smart new way; Friends With Benefits shows you how to beat loneliness, make friends, date healthy, and end rape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shahla Khan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1502419939\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781502419934\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 116\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.24w x 0.24d","brand":"Shahla Khan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46233026363647,"sku":"9781502419934","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_908b8d2e-93d8-44ed-923e-6e40f23f19e5.jpg?v=1728991847","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/friends-with-benefits-shahla-khan-9781502419934","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
