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.

What the critics say

“An important, inspiring work about loneliness and the power of connection . . . Allen offers practical solutions to questions like how to find friends, how to make relationships less superficial, what a true community looks like, and how to navigate being ‘dumped’ by a friend.”—Katie Couric Media

“Easy solutions to create true connections, strengthen relationships and curb loneliness. With scientific insights and biblical references, Allen shares ways to identify the type of friend you need, how to have authentic conversations and more. It’s a sweet map to joy and connection.”Woman’s World

“We know we need to do life with other people and have a supportive community around us instead of living in isolation, but we often wonder how when we’ve had friendships fail, we’ve been hurt, or we feel too busy to even make the effort. In Find Your People, 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, #1 New York Times bestselling author and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries

ONLY for Christians

The summary should have said that this was mostly about religion with some ideas about friendship

A must-read on building meaningful community!!

God knew that we would need Jennie’s book, Find Your People, at this exact moment. Her honesty, openness, and vulnerability about her own struggles in relationships made me feel understood and not alone in my own struggles. She has made me re-examine my relationships and given me a renewed appreciation for the ones I have in the context of building a healthy, God-centered village. Her language is easy, which makes this an enjoyable book to read and take in. She offers so many practical ways to actually start to find your people right where you are, answers many of the questions you are thinking as you read, and challenges us all to strengthen and deepen our relationships (it starts with us) and live the way God intended us to live in community with one another. A definite must-read for everyone!

This is truly a medicine for a selfish society

If you look for connection with other people but don't know how to do it or is afraid, this book is a great tool to teach you how to do and to send away your fears.

ITS AN OKay Book

I like the fact that she says we came to this world not to be alone and be with someone, but that's pretty much it. The Book is only made for Christians as she references Jesus and Bible many times. and I'm a religious Christian myself, but what about other ppl who r not Christian?😄..

Not what is was expecting

This book is fine but finding your people should not not only include church., this is not the only community of people out there. My times of loneliness and exclusion were when I was involved in a church on a regular basis. I would rather encourage someone to be involved in what makes you happy. That sometimes does not involve a community of people at all! Was really expecting more from this book, disappointed

This is less about friendship and more about Jesus

I was looking for a nice book about friendship and instead am having Christianity forced down my throat. This should be listed in the book’s synopsis. Also no recognition for how damaging Christianity has been to marginalized groups aside from the author saying Christian’s get a bad rap but they are actually nice. Not a safe book for so many people. Be upfront about what you are writing about
