Book excerpt: We've all been there. We had a stunning future all laid out with our partner or spouse and then it all fell apart. In this humorous look at breakups we view this pivotal time from a sincere place but also bring in a sense of humor and perspective. Hirschman draw's from her past growing up on a hippie commune in SF to suggest many unusual and often hilarious approaches. She draws on her over 20 years as a tarot reader and a decade as a life coach to give some great concrete tools, practices, and suggestions for getting over a break up. It makes the recovery as fun as possible by including chapters like Movie Therapy, Bridal Dress Shopping (while being single) and Floating in a Deprivation Tank. She also talks about "the geographic cure" and how to perform a breakup ritual. The reader will feel a friend is helping them pick themselves off the floor by offering a warm, knowledgeable and trustworthy hand. It's the perfect combination of levity and expertise.
