BENTONVILLE, Ark. /Publishers Newswire/ — Author Cari Kaufman has a message: while Facebook may have increased the sheer volume of people you are in contact with, only intentional interactions will create the deep, meaningful friendships we all need to find joy in uncertain times. In her new book, “Living Life with Strings Attached” (IBSN 978-0-557-31564-2), Cari explains how the cultural trend of superficial and uncommitted associations has left us feeling lonely and disconnected.

BOOK SIGNING: World Garden in Bentonville, AR will be host to Cari’s first book signing on Sunday, March 28, 2010 from 3 – 5 p.m. Come by, have some coffee and visit with Cari!

Speaker, mom and certified personal coach Cari Kaufman wants women to know there is a way to surround yourself with people who are genuine, sincere and authentic in their love for each other. And it’s not at all complicated!

Cari’s book is filled with personal stories and includes tips and “Take Action” sections at the end of each chapter. In fact, after reading “Living Life with Strings Attached,” you and your gal pals may want to sign the ten point pledge at the back of the book, guaranteeing that you will always have love and support, whatever life may bring.

“Living Life with Strings Attached” has received a great deal of praise. One reader sums it up as follows: “Cari Kaufman has created a fantastic resource for women looking for deep, meaningful friendships. This is one tome that should — and will — be read, savored and given.”
