Publisher's summary

The New York Times best-selling author of The Hard Questions presents “an ideal guide for anyone suffering from a broken heart” (Tara Branch, author of Radical Acceptance), complete with a practical and compassionate guide for emerging bolder and happier.

A broken heart is traumatic. When a relationship ends, the anguish and disappointment can be devastating. Typical recommendations to keep busy, move on, repair your hidden flaws, and then forget about it are not helpful. In these chapters, relationship writer Susan Piver reveals that heartbreak actually creates an opportunity for genuine emotional and spiritual transformation, enabling you to emerge on the other side stronger, softer, and capable of loving with renewed confidence.

In the years following her own experience, Piver searched the world’s wisdom traditions and discovered that heartbreak can be an uncompromising teacher of authenticity, power, and even joy. She shares that wisdom here, with instantaneously recognizable anecdotes, insights, on-the-spot practices, exercises, meditations, and down-to-earth advice that make The Wisdom of a Broken Heart a steadying prescription of solace and encouragement, wisdom and humor during the hardest time of your life. Like an infinitely patient, trusted friend, Piver tells you in a thousand different ways the most important thing to remember and the easiest to forget: “You’re going to be okay.”

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Unsure

There might have been a bit too much about her past relationship. Even at the end when she gave thanks to different people, she placed the ex before her husband. The book was a mixed bag for me.
