Book Reviews of Breaking Up Without Breaking Down
Book Review: DON'T LET BREAKING UP BREAK YOU DOWN! READ THIS BOOK TO FIND OUT HOW!
Summary: 5 Stars
Here's a handy book for dealing effectively with the pain of a romantic/love break up. Some of my quick observations about this wonderful book are:
1. The use of the term "emotional roller coaster" helps readers understand the series of emotional highs and lows that they can expect to experience during the aftermath of a break up or divorce. Fasten your seat belts!
2. There is an insightful chapter to help newly single parents learn how to ease their children into the transition(Chapter 8). This is something that is often overlooked!
3. Readers can learn how to find the valuable lessons hidden deep within the pain of a broken heart. And, most importantly, this new awareness helps a person to let go of the pain (even abandon the pain part completely) and move forward!
4. While most breakup books tend to be geared specifically toward women, this book presents a more universal look by providing real stories from real men AND women who went through heartbreak hell and lived to talk about it. As a man, I know that men suffer just as women do only in different external ways.
5. I particularly enjoyed the DO and DON'T lists of the anger track (pages 82-83) or the "better off because" list on page 85.
Breaking up without Breaking Down is a nice book to read for anyone who is involved in a painful breakup and needs a quick understanding of what's going on under the surface so they can let go of the pain and move on.

Sometimes picking up the pieces after a divorce or break-up can prove to be more of a challenge than the relationship was. What if you had a manual to help guide you through the ruins of a messy break-up; a road map that could light the way as you navigate through the murky waters of heartache? What if you knew what series of emotions you could expect to feel and then armed yourself with ways to channel those emotions effectively?

Using a step-by-step approach, it offers valuable insight and provides readers with common sense as well as innovative ideas to facilitate healing.
