I read this as a summary on blinkist
- A heartbreak hurts, badly.
- Heartbreak will trigger the same reaction as physical pain would in our brain (also: bad physical pain, described as “unbearable”, like touching a hot oven plate).
- Do not search the reasons for the breakup in yourself if there is nothing you did wrong.
- Don’t get hung up on negative thoughts. Mindful meditation can help with that.
- Don’t idealize your ex partner!
