Sample Book Insights:

#1 Rejections are the most common emotional wounds we suffer in life. We experience them when we are turned down by potential dates, refused by potential employers, and snubbed by potential friends.

#2 Rejections can cause four distinct psychological wounds, the severity of which depends on the situation and our emotional health at the time. When the rejections we experience are substantial, the urgency of treating our wounds with emotional first aid is far greater.

#3 Rejections, whether they be emotional or physical, hurt far more than most other negative emotions because they are so rare. They are so painful because they are a reminder of how easily we can be ostracized from society.

#4 The same brain regions are activated when we experience rejection as when we experience physical pain. Remarkably, the two systems are so closely linked that when scientists gave people acetaminophen before putting them through the dastardly ball-tossing rejection experiment, they reported significantly less emotional pain than people who were not given a pain reliever.
