Honest, comforting and hopeful.' MARIAN KEYES 'I love Rosie Green's writing.' ELIZABETH DAY 'Brilliant. One of the few books that I've found that really describes what a broken heart feels like. 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. Instead, he left a devastated woman who turned into someone she barely recognised: unable to eat or sleep, and so desperate to keep her family together she'd sacrifice her sense of self - and her dignity. 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.

Download or read book How to Fix a Broken Heart written by Guy Winch and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

And Annie will have to decide once and for all whether letting others in is a risk worth taking. Told with wry wit and boundless heart, Something Like Happy is an unforgettable tale of celebrating triumphs great and small, seizing the day, and always remembering to live in the moment.

Download or read book From Heartache to Happiness written by Derrick Jaxn and published by . This book was released on 2024-04-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.
