‘Did you hear, Amy has heartbreak?! What bad luck to catch it right at the end of winter.’ Based on a series of conversations between Ziella and her neuroscientist best friend, this witty and warm self-help book outlines the physical impact a relationship break-uphas on our bodies and how understanding this can help us heal. A past sufferer of heartbreak herself, Ziella passes on what she learned from her best friend about how a broken heart can affect our sleep, our immune function, our musclesand our digestion; how a person choosing to leave you is represented in the brain in the same way as physical pain; how the brain processes loss; the neurological impactof rejection; and anger as a stage of grief – plus tips for counteracting heartbreak and moving on to acceptance.
