分手后你是否一直想走出来，却怎么也走不出来？分手不是一次旅行，而应是一场战斗。

本书源自于作者在2017年TED Talk上的一次演讲，演讲视频在Ted网站上的播放次数已超过三百万次。作者指出，虽然人人都曾心碎，心碎如此折磨，但我们可以继续往前走，并且我们会走得更好。

心理学家Guy Winch敦促我们重新思考我们处理情绪痛苦的态度，为心碎的人提供温暖，以及明智的建议。

Winch揭示了心碎如何以意想不到的方式影响我们的大脑和行为，无论年龄大小，情绪上的痛苦都会降低我们推理分析能力、创造性的思考和解决问题的能力。

虽然心碎如此折磨，但作者用自己的专业和经验来告诉你，我们可以继续往前走，我们会走得更好。从心碎中恢复总是从一个决定开始，当感觉自己陷入困境时，我们可以控制自己的行为和思想，使自己走上康复的道路。 Winch提供了一个如何处理和应对伤痛以及如何继续前进的指引。

Imagine if we treated broken hearts with the same respect and concern we have for broken arms? Psychologist Guy Winch urges us to rethink the way we deal with emotional pain, offering warm, wise, and witty advice for the broken-hearted.

Real heartbreak is unmistakable. We think of nothing else. We feel nothing else. We care about nothing else. Yet while we wouldn’t expect someone to return to daily activities immediately after suffering a broken limb, heartbroken people are expected to function normally in their lives, despite the emotional pain they feel. Now psychologist Guy Winch imagines how different things would be if we paid more attention to this unique emotion—if only we can understand how heartbreak works, we can begin to fix it.

Through compelling research and new scientific studies, Winch reveals how and why heartbreak impacts our brain and our behavior in dramatic and unexpected ways, regardless of our age. Emotional pain lowers our ability to reason, to think creatively, to problem solve, and to function at our best. In How to Fix a Broken Heart he focuses on two types of emotional pain—romantic heartbreak and the heartbreak that results from the loss of a cherished pet. These experiences are both accompanied by severe grief responses, yet they are not deemed as important as, for example, a formal divorce or the loss of a close relative. As a result, we are often deprived of the recognition, support, and compassion afforded to those whose heartbreak is considered more significant.

Our heart might be broken, but we do not have to break with it. Winch reveals that recovering from heartbreak always starts with a decision, a determination to move on when our mind is fighting to keep us stuck. We can take control of our lives and our minds and put ourselves on the path to healing. Winch offers a toolkit on how to handle and cope with a broken heart and how to, eventually, move on.
