There’s no doubt about it--breakups suck. But in the first
few hours or days or weeks that follow, there’s one
important truth you need to recognize: Some things can’t
and shouldn’t be fixed, especially that loser who dumped
you or forced you to dump him. It’s over for a reason, and
deep down inside you probably know what that reason is.
It’s called a breakup because it’s broken, and starting
today, you’re not the kind of woman who settles for broken,
or hangs on to damaged goods, be it a radio, a pair of
shoes, or a relationship. It’s time to get rid of all the
broken stuff you’ve been lugging around for days, months,
and maybe even years, and make the bold decision to start
looking for stuff that works! Because the longer you stay
stuck in a dead-end relationship, the less time you get on
this planet to experience a great one. So open up this
book, and let’s dive in--our goal is to help you turn your
breakup into the event that changes your life for the
better in ways you never dreamed possible. It’s not an end,
it’s a beginning! After all . . . you are a Superfox. It’s past two in the morning. You’re on your third glass of
wine. You’re wearing his sweater because it still smells
like him (and quite frankly, he never really smelled that
great, but we’ll give it to you). Stamp out that dumb
French cigarette and put down that phone. No really, don’t
make that call. Why? Because you’re not that girl, looking
for another chance with someone who has proven himself
unworthy of your greatness. You’re not that girl, sitting
alone with a box of tissues when a world full of
possibilities waits outside her door. Starting right here,
right now, it’s time to dry your tears, put down that pint
of ice cream, log out of his email, and open this book to
chapter one--and start turning your breakup into a break-
over. The co-author of the smash two-million copy bestseller
He’s Just Not That Into You, Greg Behrendt knows
that the one thing harder than realizing he’s not that into
you is finding the courage to walk away from the
relationship. But Greg and his co-author and wife, Amiira,
also know that there’s a flip side to every breakup: As
dark as everything seems right now, this could be the
single best thing that’s ever happened to you. It’s Called a Breakup Because It’s Broken is the
ultimate survival guide to getting over Mr. Wrong and
reclaiming your inner Superfox. From how to put yourself
through "he-tox," to how to throw yourself a kick-ass pity
party, Greg and Amiira share their hilarious and helpful
roadmap for getting past the heartache and back into the
game. They give advice on:
*Why you shouldn’t call him--and what he’s thinking when
you do
*How to keep your friends and not lose your job
*How to avoid breakup pitfalls: IMing, stalking, having sex
with your ex
*Reframing reality--seeing the relationship for what it
was
*How to transform yourself into a hot, happening Superfox
and get a jump on the better, brighter future that awaits It’s Called a Breakup Because It’s Broken gives you
everything you need to get over him and make the right
decisions along the way. Complete with an essential
workbook to help you put the crazy down on paper and not
take it out into the world, this is a straight-talking,
spot-on, must-have manual for finding your way back to an
even more rocking you.
