<p>After receiving an Editor's Pick badge <a target="" href="https://www.friendshiplab.org/blog/2am-friend-tedx-talk/">on its first release</a>, our TEDx St Albans talk on starting a friendship revolution has caught the eye of the official TED editors and been given global exposure on <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ted.com/talks/sheridan_voysey_how_to_make_friends_and_keep_them">TED.com</a>! Garnering over 100,000 views in its first few days, the talk is going far and wide, showing how hungry we are to explore this forgotten relationship.</p><p>In the talk, Friendship Lab founder Sheridan Voysey calls us to make three commitments to turn the 'friendship recession' around:</p><ol><li><p>Treat friendship as a vocation</p></li><li><p>Put friends before screens</p></li><li><p>Embrace the risk of mutuality</p></li></ol><p>Watch and share the talk with your friends and family. Friendship’s time has come!</p><p></p><h2 id="fa9da21b-6f30-40d8-90b5-13fb7bbc697b" data-toc-id="fa9da21b-6f30-40d8-90b5-13fb7bbc697b" style="text-align: left; font-size: 24px; line-height: 1.2;">Watch the TED.com Talk</h2><div style="max-width: 1024px;"><div style="position: relative; height: 0px; padding-bottom: 56.25%;"><div class="iframe-wrapper" style="display: flex; justify-content: center;"><iframe src="https://embed.ted.com/talks/sheridan_voysey_how_to_make_friends_and_keep_them" width="1024px" height="576px" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true" style="text-align: center; max-width: 100%;"></iframe></div></div></div><p></p><h2 id="886883b8-129e-4167-bc3d-91dbebaf9659" data-toc-id="886883b8-129e-4167-bc3d-91dbebaf9659" style="text-align: left; font-size: 24px; line-height: 1.2;">Listen to the Podcast</h2><p>Rather listen?
