Summary

Has the most important personal relationship in your life just ended? This book can help overcome your loss; use it as a guide to growth. Don't let a break-up with a lover, or separation or divorce from a mate stop you. Don't let those relatives or "friends" who "don't want to take sides" stop you either. This book will show you how to find new peace and joy, and help you to stand on your own two feet again. Better yet, their methods can help you to beat depression and stress as you recover faster than you might otherwise have thought possible.

The Good Bye Book is an alternative to psychotherapy, prescribing a wide array of tested and proven insights and exercises. It details a clear and easy-to-follow program of action and reflection to guide you through thirty days of active self-restoration. Of course, your feelings of grief, hurt or shame may come and go. But in less than a month, you can be ready to deal with life's new challenges with a positive sense of emotional balance you may never have had before. Here's a sample of the topics the book covers:
