"A good starting point for anyone who wants to check out of the Heartbreak Hotel."--Kirkus

"WELL-RESEARCHED AND DEEPLY PRACTICAL, HOW TO FIX A BROKEN HEART PROVIDES THE VALIDATION, COMFORT, AND HOPE ANYONE WHO IS HEARTBROKEN DESPERATELY NEEDS. Weaving compelling case studies from his private practice with surprising scientific findings, Winch illustrates how little we actually know about this universal experience and why our misconceptions will set us back and delay our recovery. This compassionate and eye-opening book is a must read for anyone mourning a lost love or a cherished pet, and a compelling argument for recognizing these poorly acknowledged forms of grief."

-- ESTHER PEREL, bestselling author of The State of Affairs and Mating in Captivity

"Given how intense an experience heartbreak can be, it's crazy that society's main advice for it is "take it day by day, and eventually you'll get over it." I first heard Guy Winch talk about heartbreak at TED and was fascinated--and the book is even better. A GREAT READ FOR ANYONE GOING THROUGH HEARTBREAK, ANYONE TRYING TO HELP SOMEONE GO THROUGH HEARTBREAK, OR ANYONE WHO SIMPLY WANTS TO UNDERSTAND HUMANS BETTER."?
