Psychologist Guy Winch urges us to rethink the way we deal with emotional pain, offering warm, wise, and witty self-help advice for the broken-hearted.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eReal 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 the psychology of love and loss, we can begin to fix it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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 \u003ci\u003eHow to Fix a Broken Heart\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e 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 emotional healing and rebuilding self-worth after loss. Winch offers a toolkit rooted in mindfulness and coping skills to help you handle a broken heart and how to, eventually, move on.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Guy Winch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\/ Ted\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/13\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.10h x 5.10w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501120121\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/08\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGuy Winch is a psychologist and the author of three books that have been translated into twenty-eight languages, and his three TED Talks have garnered thirty-five million views.
