It is clear from this book that the authors fully understand, and have experienced the pain and anguish of heartbreak, as they describe exactly how it feels to lose someone you love, together with your hopes and dreams for the future.

I found much of the book very hard to read, not because it uses difficult language, or jargon, because it doesn't, or because it's badly written, but because it spelt out many things that I have been so far unwilling to accept, which was probably why I had been unable to get over the situation I was in.

The exercises in the book I am sure are very valid and will work for most people however, I was unable to gain any benefit from these strategies, mainly because I seem to have the attention span of the average goldfish.

I would definitely recommend the book to anyone who is suffering the torture of heartbreak because, even if like me, you are not able to focus on the exercises, it will help you to accept the fact that, Its over, you are the only one suffering in the relationship, and that there is absolutely no way back for you and your ex partner, Paul and Hugh's message is crystal clear, the only way to get your life back is to move on.

The fact that you are looking at this book means you are suffering; I wish you well and hope that you soon find release from the hell of heartbreak.

It distills lots of Paul McKennas pearls of wisdom from many different areas ( self esteem/goal setting etc.) and it works. It really works. Do not lend this book to a friend for a least 6 months after you read it because you will need to dip back in for a bit of moral fortitude whenever you have any dealings with your ex.!

Heal well xx

I think just BUYING this book was a step towards taking control... a positive step that inspires you to continue.. and then, even after the first few chapters I felt I was over the worst!!

I then went on to read "The positive woman" and "He's just not that into you", (or she!) which will hopefully prevent me from making the same mistake again!

We are capable of so much emotionally, we just need someone to show us the way!

I bought this book after my girlfriend left me. To say I was heartbroken is an understatement!

This book helped with the pain - to a degree. I found some of the mental exercises difficult to do and one or two seemed a bit obvious: 'Think over and over of the times your ex annoyed you, and not the times you felt love for them'. OK, I'm simplifying the exercise in question, but you get the idea (and actually that does help!)

It was the main prose in the book that helped me. There is some good common-sense stuff here, that helps you realise your faulty thinking. Especially when it tackles the notion of your ex being 'the only one for you'. It has a very convincing argument (and trust me, I needed convincing) that this line of thought is both true and completely false!

Did it mend my broken heart? No, it didn't. But it did offer some degree of comfort.

If you're reading this, I guess your heart must be broken. Well, your not alone and you have my deepest sympathies. I hope you begin to recover soon.

Wrong. Men don't buy 'these' kind books. We don't need them, it's full of rubbish that helps girls get over a break up.

Well, no that's not the case though is it?

I was generally coping fine with the breakup of my marriage and had a lot of hate type feelings and actually wanted it over. But I still found myself upset and even sad it was ending although I knew it was the best for me especially. I deserved better.

So when I saw Paul on a programme promoting the book I thought I'd give it a go. Heck, what was there to lose?

And I'm glad I got it. Some of the book wasn't relevant to me and you'll probably find the same but other parts were just inspiring and genuinely helped me put some stupidly simple techniques to good use.

I wish I could thank Paul personally. This book helped me pick up those few little pieces and get on with things again.
