Severing a cherished relationship is one of the most painful experiences in life - and cutting those emotional ties to a loved one can feel almost like ending an addiction. Up till now, people recovering from other problems were able to get real help - like AA and rehab - while those struggling in the aftermath of traumatic breaks dealt with platitudes and friends insisting they should "get over it already". But now Exaholics Anonymous treats getting over an ex like kicking a chemical habit.

Publisher's Summary
Imagine if we treated broken hearts with the same respect and concern we have for broken arms? Psychologist Guy Winch urges us to rethink the way we deal with emotional pain, offering warm, wise, and witty advice for the broken-hearted.
Real heartbreak is unmistakable. We think of nothing else. We feel nothing else. We care about nothing else. Yet while we wouldn't expect someone to return to daily activities immediately after suffering a broken limb, heartbroken people are expected to function normally in their lives, despite the emotional pain they feel. Now psychologist Guy Winch imagines how different things would be if we paid more attention to this unique emotion - if only we can understand how heartbreak works, we can begin to fix it.
Through compelling research and new scientific studies, Winch reveals how and why heartbreak impacts our brain and our behavior in dramatic and unexpected ways, regardless of our age. Emotional pain lowers our ability to reason, to think creatively, to problem solve, and to function at our best. In How to Fix a Broken Heart he focuses on two types of emotional pain - romantic heartbreak and the heartbreak that results from the loss of a cherished pet. These experiences are both accompanied by severe grief responses, yet they are not deemed as important as, for example, a formal divorce or the loss of a close relative. As a result, we are often deprived of the recognition, support, and compassion afforded to those whose heartbreak is considered more significant.
Our heart might be broken, but we do not have to break with it. Winch reveals that recovering from heartbreak always starts with a decision, a determination to move on when our mind is fighting to keep us stuck. We can take control of our lives and our minds and put ourselves on the path to healing. Winch offers a toolkit on how to handle and cope with a broken heart and how to, eventually, move on.

painfully honest, but beautifully articulate
as someone going through a heartbreak, in the mere first week I thought I was doomed for God knows how long.
knowing that the person was neither the problem and the solution. I ventured to find the solution and answers WITHIN MYSELF. the author was able to identify and see what I was going through - without even knowing what I was going through.
I felt completely isolated. Albeit with support around me, I was if I was battling this through myself - what's wrong with me, am I delusional, and do people really know what I am going through, DO I know what I am going through?
the author amazingly targeted the unhealthy behaviors I was indulging in.
after listening, I feel as if I have regained a better sense of understanding and validity to how I am feeling. it was hard hearing the painful and honest truth, and to be honest, did take days to really sink in how much I need to reflect and take time upon myself before opening my heart to another heart.
but safe to say, I am in a better place. thank you...

Must listen/read for the heartbroken
… and for anyone really, because by learning more about heartbreak we can become a better to support not only to ourselves but to those around us going through the heartache. It’s not fixed how I’m feeling, but it was so helpful to get a better understanding of why I was feeling the way I’m feeling and get insights into what I can do to move one. Will likely re-listen to this audiobook, it’s just so brilliantly written.

I really gave it a chance but it was very non helpful and very much cliche and though supportive it didn't really help at all. not terrible but not a good use of a credit.

This gets you through the breakup
Cannot recommend this book enough. Plus the science shared is fascinating. I crushed it out in an evening, you won’t be able to put it down.

Short and sweet
This has been one of several books I've purchased on the subject of emotional healing. It was entertaining, kept my attention and made some very valid points that hit home for me. I wished it were longer!
