Imagine if we treated broken hearts with the same respect and concern we have for broken arms? Psychologist Guy Winch urges us to rethink the way we deal with emotional pain, offering warm, wise, and witty advice for the broken-hearted.Real heartbreak is unmistakable. We think of nothing else. We feel nothing else. We care about nothing else. Yet while we wouldn't expect someone to return to daily activities immediately after suffering a broken limb, heartbroken people are expected to function normally in their lives, despite the emotional pain they feel. Now psychologist Guy Winch imagines how different things would be if we paid more attention to this unique emotionâ??if only we can understand how heartbreak works, we can begin to fix it.Through compelling research and new scientific studies, Winch reveals how and why heartbreak impacts our brain and our behavior in dramatic and unexpected ways, regardless of our age.

It would be interesting to see the stats of those in some form of emotional bereavement (divorce, death, break-up, etc) and see the comparison brain scans between those who had recently suffered death of a spouse and those who had recently suffered a break-up. And the level of physical involvement in that break-up, etc., etc., etc. (cue King and I voice)
But as that wasn't really the purpose of the book, no fault there.
I did think that he should be one of the forerunners of a new group I want to start. But, sadly, he doesn't seem to advocate for that.
