How to Mend a Broken Heart is a unique book, by a woman who used knowledge from her best friend (a neuroscientist) to look at how the brain copes with break-ups, and how to use this science knowledge to help you recover and move on.
When the author was in the midst of heartbreak after a relationship break-up, she turned to her friend, fed up with unhelpful advice from magazines and rom-coms.s
This warm and witty book outlines the impact that relationship break-ups have on our brains and bodies, and explores how a science-based approach, may be able to help us heal.
She passes on how all she learned, including how a broken heart can affect our sleep to digestion, and how rejection is presented in the brain (in the same way as physical pain). And how it can even trigger withdrawal symptoms. Plus there are tips for countracting heartbreak, and moving on to acceptance.
