 Extracts from the book:

On The Unfair Dismissal in Love

 “We can’t contact a lawyer or go to the police with an accusation that someone broke our heart. We’re on our own. Not only is there no easy way of getting redress, there’s little on offer to help us deal with the pain. If we have a toothache or a broken leg, we are met by a society that has evolved sophisticated ways of dealing with the problem and built enormous institutions to offer us skilled help.”

On The Benefits of a Broken Heart

 “As we recover, we realise that our inner contentment isn’t entirely dependent on any one person in particular. There are many people and things that can sustain and support us. The great love has gone, but many other loves are still open to us.”
