When Greg Behrendt–comedian and consultant to Sex and the City–laid out the truth about men’s “mixed signals” (the truth being that there’s no such thing), millions of women found themselves liberated. But knowing a guy’s not that into her doesn’t mean a woman is not going to be hurt. Now, for every woman who’s had her heart broken, Greg and his coauthor-wife, Amiira, offer It’s Called a Breakup Because It’s Broken–a must-have survival guide for getting over Mr. Wrong and reclaiming your inner SuperFox.
This hilarious and helpful book covers everything from how to pull the plug on a relationship and make it stick, to proven remedies for uncontrollable crying, to how to act the first time you see him with another woman. Divided into two parts–Get Over It and Get On with It–chapters include:
• There Are No New Messages, so stop checking your
machine–and his!–every five minutes
• He’s Not Hiding at the Bottom of That Pint of Ice Cream
• What’s He Thinking? Who cares? But Greg and Amiira
respect the need to obsess, so here’s a chapter of indulgence
• If It Was So Great, You'd Still Be Together: seeing the
reality for what it was
• Revenge Is a Dish Best Served HOT! So get out of your pajamas,
start taking care of yourself, and find your way back to an even
more rocking you
Plus: an essential workbook, so you can put the crazy stuff down
on paper instead of inflictingit on the world.
Before finding each other, Greg and Amiira had been there, too, and found their way out of the darkness. Now they’ve come back with a flashlight and a helping hand. It’s Called a Breakup Because It’s Broken is more than the ultimate reference guide to the dissolution of a relationship. It’s the voice of encouragement that you need to turn your breakup into a break-over, and get a jump on the brighter romantic future that awaits.
I got this one at the library after a friend recommended it. It puts things in perspective when you can't let go of a relationship that was over.
I loved this book. It was funny and straight to the point. It made me see humor in my miserable situation when going through a break up. I read it several times in a short period and it reassured me that I was going through normal stages.
If you haven't read the book He's Just Not That Into You, then you are missing out. This book offers you that wonderful, brash and bluntly honest insight into life after the break up. This book kept me company after my boyfriend of 2 years decided to break things off. With this book, a cup of coffee, a box of Kleenex, and reading glasses, I was able to realize that everything is not my fault. I love this book. I love the way that the writers of this book can give me the same laid back language that a friend would. I love, love love this book. Please read this. If you have a friend who just had a break up or who has any issues in a relationship, please give them this book.
It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken, sometimes this is truly hard to comprehend. I being a person who is always trying to fix everything created myself years and years of heartache as well as put myself and my children in a dangerour situation for many many years. Along with a very big pile of self help books decided somehow someway I have to end this horrible relationship I'm in, however I told myself this for many years too. I finally read this book a not to long ago and I regret not reading this years ago when I was in that terrible relationship, I believe I would have gained the knowledge to make better decisions years before. What this book has taught me was to let go, not to hold on to something that is no longer yours. I had that problem even after breaking up with the man I was with for many years I would find myself wondering what he was doing, torturing myself being I would think so much about him and wondering what he was doing. Besides being unhealthy it was totally unfair to my children as well. If you find yourself doing similar things to what I just explained this is the perfect book to read. I wish as I said eariler I would have read this years ago, I can bet I wouldn't have done the silly things I did. Reading this book not only teaches you to live and let go but somewhere in the way things are worded it also teaches you that it's okay to let go and love you.
What is the toughest part of going through a break-up? Accepting that it has finally happened. Most couples would sense a break-up in making much in advance. They will be prepared for it and move on with life after that. Some though, are so much into the relationship or so much full of themselves, that they refuse to believe that it can happen to them. They forget the simple rule. It is called a break-up because it is broken. In this bestseller book, the author tries to make the women believe that somethings should not be fixed. There are signs everywhere which tell you to leave the broken parts behind and move on with your life. Accepting them is the 1st step in beginning your new life without carrying the burden of those broken pieces. A lovely and cute book about the significance of relationships and more improtantly, importance of your own self. Heed the advice and make a move, there is another boyfriend just around the corner!
It happens everytime. I find "Mr. Seems So Perfect" and things end up in a hot mess of emotions and thoughts and "What did I do wrong?" going through my head. Everyone has been there. And, despite the fact that I have gotten over dozens of guys and the heartbreak, it still seems like the end of the world each time it happens.
This book is an excellent "slap in the pants" to get out, get over it and pick another guy. If that one doesn't work, pick another one! So many women get stuck in a rut after a breakup, and it doesn't have to be that way. This book is funny, but I still did not feel like a "Superfox" after I read it. I felt better, yes, but a Superfox? No.
The book offers hope after a breakup, humor and some advice on how to get over him. But ultimately, time has to heal this. Not a book.
After hearing that the guy who wrote “He’s Just Not That Into You” had a new book “It's Called a Breakup Because It's Broken: The Smart Girl's Breakup Buddy” I had to run out and buy it. I had high expectations after reading the first book and while this was “just okay” and definitely had some helpful advice, I didn’t find it to be as knee slapping hilarious as the last and was a bit let down. However I always lend this book out to friends going though a breakup because the advice is brutally honest and very helpful! Greg Behrendt is an amazing author and a ray of light to all women in need of a little kick in the butt to step away from the telephone and gain a new sense of confidence! I do recommend this but only after “He’s Just Not That Into You”.
