What it is

The Empty Chair is an ebook and audit workbook about the friendship drought that arrives without anything breaking. It explains how a man with a partner, a job and a full calendar ends up with nobody he would actually ring, and gives him a way to count what he has left.

Who it is for

The man whose life looks fine from outside and who could not fill a guest list. No rupture, no falling-out, no divorce. Just a decade in which the friendships quietly dissolved.

What is inside
  • 01The Empty Chair (ebook)Six chapters on how the drought actually happens, and what the research does and does not support.
  • 02The Guest List (workbook)Six exercises that count what is there, honestly, before you try to change any of it.

First Round

First Round is a field guide and journal for the part nobody teaches: how you actually build adult male friendships at 45 or 50. Dormant contacts first, conversion second, strangers last, with the awkwardness accounted for rather than pretended away.
