Did you hear Amy has heartbreak?! What a stroke of bad luck to catch it right at the end of winter. When Ziella Bryars was in the throes of heartbreak, a conversation with her neuroscientist best friend turned everything around. Frustrated by the unhelpful advice from magazines and rom-coms, Ziella delved deep into the latest scientific research to help her understand the pain of heartbreak and find a path to recovery. This warm and witty self-help book outlines the impact a relationship break-up has on our brains and bodies, and explores how a science-based approach can help us heal.

Ziella shares what she learned about how a broken heart can affect everything from our sleep to our digestion; how rejection is represented in the brain in the same way as physical pain; how the brain processes loss; and how a break-up can trigger addiction-like withdrawal symptoms - plus tips for counteracting heartbreak and moving on to acceptance.
