Book excerpt: From Heartache to Happiness is a self-help book by relationship coach Derrick Jaxn that offers brutally honest yet compassionate advice for women seeking to understand men and navigate dating and relationships. Written from the perspective of a caring big brother, it delves into the male psyche to decode persistent mysteries around why men think and behave as they do, especially in the context of romantic connections.The book aims to liberate women from commonly-held assumptions or narratives that leave them blaming themselves when relationships don't work out. It challenges notions such as the idea that being single for long periods automatically indicates flaws in a woman or that a man's inability to commit points to her not being good enough. Instead, it highlights that the fault generally lies in underdeveloped men unwilling to match a woman's maturity and depth.From Heartache to Happiness also busts myths around concepts like unconditional love and encourages setting healthy boundaries when tolerance becomes enablement of disrespect. It urges valuing companionship but not at the expense of self-compromise. The book emphasizes learning to recognize the signs distinguishing men ready for real partnership versus those wasting woman's time and energy.While acknowledging the challenges of modern dating, Jaxn remains hopeful there are indeed men capable of reciprocating a woman's efforts and commitment. However the book stresses that such men demonstrate consistent actions like listening, understanding, accountability and compromise-not superficial words alone.From Heartache to Happiness blends Jaxn's hard-earned personal insights with wisdom gained from thousands of coaching interactions. His occasionally politically incorrect honesty is tempered by genuine empathy for women's experiences. The book promises to leave female readers armed with revelations on the real reasons behind men's confusing behavior as well as keys to confidently assessing relationship viability, avoiding time-wasters and manifesting the reciprocal love they deserve.

It touched so many nerves.' VANESSA FELTZ 'It reduced me to tears.' EMMA BARNETT, Woman's Hour, BBC Radio 4 'It wasn't a conscious uncoupling. I had my heart ripped out and stamped on.' When Rosie Green's husband walked out after 26 years together, he declined to leave a forwarding address.

She thought she'd never get over it. But she did. And so can you. This is the frank, uplifting and insightful book Rosie wished she could have found when her whole world fell apart. Here's your guide to getting through it - with advice from the experts, with the help of your friends, with a deliciously dark sense of humour and, for Rosie, with some highly inappropriate sex advice from her pre-teen daughter. Let her brilliantly honest handbook show how you can heal faster, understand yourself better and move on. How to Heal a Broken Heart doesn't sugarcoat it - heartbreak brings you to your knees. But, sometimes, it also gives you a necessary shove towards a happier, more fulfilled life than you ever dreamed was possible.

No one could blame Bev Putterman for becoming estranged from her sister. No one but Bev, anyway. Growing up, Diana was difficult and selfish yet always their mother's favorite. And then came the betrayal that took away the future Bev dreamed of. Yet if Diana caused problems while alive, her death leaves Bev in a maelstrom of remorse. She longs to provide a stable home for Diana's fourteen-year-old daughter, Alabama. But between her commitment-phobic boyfriend and her precarious teaching position, Bev's life is already in upheaval without an unruly teenager around. All Alabama knows about Aunt Bev is what her mother told her--and none of it was good. They clash about money, clothes, boys, and especially about Diana. In desperation, Alabama sets out to find her late father's family. Instead she learns of the complicated history between her mother and aunt, how guilt can shut down a life--and most important, how love and forgiveness can open a door and make us whole again. . .
