A practical, philosophical guide to understanding and overcoming heartbreak.

Everyone experiences heartbreak at some point in their life. Advice can be heard to receive with a broken heart, and it tends to focus on letting time do the healing. This consoling and encouraging guide from The School of Life presents a refreshing perspective on heartbreak, arguing that a more nuanced understanding of our pain can help us along the path to healing.

Through history, psychology, and a little philosophy, Heartbreak teaches us how our responses to abandonment are formed, what the best way to think about an ex might be, and how to envision future relationships when we are in the midst of despair. We come away feeling less alone, consoled that our suffering will have an end, and intrigued by the endless subtleties of relationships.

A PRACTICAL GUIDE: • to understanding and overcoming heartbreak. PART OF THE SCHOOL OF LIFE'S 'LOVE' SERIES: • focusing on the joys and sorrows of relationships. A PHILOSOPHICAL AND PSYCHOLOGICAL APPROACH: • to life's innumerable heartbreaks.
