Publisher's summary

Whether it's the end of a marriage, a romance or a friendship, break-ups are an unfortunate part of life. They can stir up horrible emotions and make you want to do crazy things. But when comedian Meshel Laurie faced the end of her 19-year marriage, Buddhist philosophy helped her turn her biggest challenge into an opportunity for personal growth and greater happiness.

Now Meshel shows listeners how Buddhism can be a road map for navigating the fear, loneliness and grief of a broken heart. Sharing her own story with humour and honesty, she explains:

  • How the Buddhist concepts of emptiness and impermanence can free us to see things clearly (and calm the heck down!)
  • How to love without attachment
  • The difference between loneliness and aloneness
  • How to work through all those disturbing emotions
  • How to embrace change
  • How to harness wisdom and compassion in order to heal

Way cheaper than hours of therapy, Buddhism for Break-ups is your go-to guide for Zen!

The end of a relationship can be one of the most emotionally devastating things a person can go through, whether it’s on mutual, amicable terms or not. There are countless songs, poems, and films about breakups and heartbreak because it's an undeniably universal human experience. The silver lining? Precisely because this experience is so universal, there are no shortage of people to turn to for help and advice on how to weather the worst of it.

It's good but I can't relate to it

The background of her story is about her divorce involving kids. I couldn't relate much.

If you’re going through a break up...

This book is so amazing. It’s more down to earth about its spiritual notions. Great and easy listen. Wonderful way to empower one’s self.

Better than I thought I needed!

It's for a lot more than just a broken heart. So much valuable wisdom for learning to accept life on life's terms! I'll definitely be recommending it to my friends! ❣️
