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.

Our massive, global system of consumption is broken. Our individual relationship with our stuff is broken. In each of our homes, some stuff is broken. And the strain of rampant consumerism and manufacturing is breaking our planet. We need big, systemic changes, from public policy to global economic systems. Since founding Fixup, a pop-up repair shop that brought her coverage in The New York Times, Salon, New York Public Radio, and more, Sandra Goldmark has become a leader in the movement to demand better "stuff" and to bring companies on board. Her solution is surprisingly simple and involves all of us: have good stuff, not too much, mostly reclaimed, care for it, and pass it on. Fixation charts the path to the next frontier in the health, wellness, and environmental movements--learning how to value stewardship over waste. Passionate, wise, and practical, Fixation offers us a new understanding of stuff by building a value chain where good design, reuse, and repair are the status quo.

Is part of your life BROKEN? Being a Christian does not mean that we will never ever get hurt or that nothing will ever go wrong, because, believe you me they will at some point in your life. Life is all about making choices. Please make sure that you make the right ones for you. The whole idea of this booklet is to show you that broken lives can be repaired and set free from their past, but the choice is always up to you. I started to put pen to paper to write this work during the month of December 2016. I am not sure what started me to think along these lines of broken things, but as I thought more about the subject, things started to gel in my thoughts and it got to a point where I had to start writing them down. The illustrations which I shall be using in this booklet cum article are all from my own life, but I am not boasting about me, but I am trying to show you what God can do with a life that is given over to Him. These events are all true and happened to me in the past. Some of them are from when I was a teenager and some from later in my life. I am using myself as an object lesson to teach you what God can do with a life that is given over to Him for safe keeping. What I am aiming to show is that when things get broken, some things cannot ever be mended and other things can be repaired. The Bible verses used will be from the Authorised version of the Bible, as that is the only one that I can trust and it is the one which I grew up with from my early days as a Christian.
