Everyone thrives on love, comfort, and the safety of family, friends, and community. But if you are denied these basic comforts early in life through a lack of physical affection or emotional bonding, you may develop intense fears of abandonment that can last well into adulthood - fears so powerful that they can actually cause you to push people away. If you suffer from fears of abandonment, you may have underlying feelings of anger, shame, fear, anxiety, depression, and grief.

More than a beginner's guide...
- By Rugger Burke on 09-12-17
Publisher's Summary
Whether it's the end of a marriage, a romance or a friendship, break-ups are an unfortunate part of life. They can stir up horrible emotions and make you want to do crazy things. But when comedian Meshel Laurie faced the end of her 19-year marriage, Buddhist philosophy helped her turn her biggest challenge into an opportunity for personal growth and greater happiness.
Now Meshel shows listeners how Buddhism can be a road map for navigating the fear, loneliness and grief of a broken heart. Sharing her own story with humour and honesty, she explains:
- How the Buddhist concepts of emptiness and impermanence can free us to see things clearly (and calm the heck down!)
- How to love without attachment
- The difference between loneliness and aloneness
- How to work through all those disturbing emotions
- How to embrace change
- How to harness wisdom and compassion in order to heal
Way cheaper than hours of therapy, Buddhism for Break-ups is your go-to guide for Zen!

I'm not going through a breakup but have listened to Meshel's book twice. It teaches so much about relationships, both romantic and friendships that I will always remember. I'm sure I'll listen to it again and again over time. Thanks to Meshel for narrating her own book also, it makes all the difference.

Meshel hit the spot many times re handling breakup... It's always been such hard work for me to get over relationships even though I've initiated the closure , I love the Buddhist view, and Meshels great ideas to handle things in a better way. Funny too, love the humour scattered amongst wise words . Thanks Meshel
