Winner of the 2023 PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award A Five Books "Best Literary Science Writing" Book of 2023 • A Smithsonian Best Science Book of 2022 • A Prospect Magazine Top Memoir of 2022 • A KCRW Life Examined Best Book of 2022 "Keen observer [and] deft writer" (David Quammen) Florence Williams explores the fascinating, cutting-edge science of heartbreak while seeking creative ways to mend her own. When her twenty-five-year marriage suddenly falls apart, journalist Florence Williams expects the loss to hurt. But when she starts feeling physically sick, losing weight and sleep, she sets out in pursuit of rational explanation. She travels to the frontiers of the science of "social pain" to learn why heartbreak hurts so much—and why so much of the conventional wisdom about it is wrong. Soon Williams finds herself on a surprising path that leads her from neurogenomic research laboratories to trying MDMA in a Portland therapist’s living room, from divorce workshops to the mountains and rivers that restore her. She tests her blood for genetic markers of grief, undergoes electrical shocks while looking at pictures of her ex, and discovers that our immune cells listen to loneliness. Searching for insight as well as personal strategies to game her way back to health, she seeks out new relationships and ventures into the wilderness in search of an extraordinary antidote: awe. With warmth, daring, wit, and candor, Williams offers a gripping account of grief and healing. Heartbreak is a remarkable merging of science and self-discovery that will change the way we think about loneliness, health, and what it means to fall in and out of love.

Can a serial killer come to Jesus and find true love and happiness in Berryville, Arkansas? Will John Heartbreak disappear and will anyone care if he does? Will Berryville ever spruce up its East German Communist Party influenced Public Square fountains? More to the point, can Heartbreak's Pretty Good Books and Really Dreadful Coffee survive by selling dollar books to tight-fisted Lutherans from Iowa? Or, will John, and Clara Jane "Smith" who is hiding out from the FBI in Berryville, succeed in their aim to reform the Iowans and pry a few bucks out of their corn subsidy welfare checks? Yup. This book has plenty of questions. And the answer is, of course, 42. But don't blame me. It's all Douglas Adams' fault because as you all realize, 42 is the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything. So, read the book. When it's all over you'll know why Unitarians are the way they are, why it's premature to discredit Chaos Theory, and why Mrs. Heartbreak is trying to convince everyone that John is a ventriloquist.

Jacqueline Firkins's The Predictable Heartbreaks of Imogen Finch is a beautiful story of friendship, and second chances at love. Imogen Finch has just been through her seventeenth breakup. She saw it coming, so she's not as crushed as she might be, but with all seventeen of her exes leaving her for other partners, she's come to believe a prediction her well-intentioned and possibly clairvoyant mother made over twenty years ago: that Imogen would never come first at anything or to anyone. Is her love life failing due to a magical curse? Insufficient effort? Poor timing or personality mismatches? Everyone has opinions on the matter. Imogen's ready to give up altogether. But when Eliot Swift, her secret high school crush, returns to their small coastal town after a decade of nomadic travels, Imogen has new motivation to try again. Eliot's full of encouragement. He suggests that her curse is not only imagined, it's easily breakable. All they need is one win--any win--and she can believe in love, and in herself again. From trivia games to swimming races to corn-shucking contests, the pair sets out to snag Imogen her first first. But when victory proves more elusive than Eliot anticipated, and when his deep-seeded wanderlust compels him to depart for far away places, Imogen fears she's destined to remain in second place forever. Fortunately for them both, sometimes magic lingers in the most unexpected places. And love is far from predictable.

This is a study revealing Saul Bellow's views on the decline of humanism. With chapters on each of Bellow's novels from "Dangling" to "More Die of Heartbreak", the author argues that Bellow's vision of modern American culture denies the possibility of humanist enlightenment for his heroes.

This reading of Bernard Shaw focuses on his habit of seeing the world in terms of contraries, a habit related to his basic rejection of absolutes, his distaste for finality. The author examines nine of Shaw's finest plays: Man and Superman, Major Barbara, John Bull's Other Island, The Doctor's Dilemma, Pygmalion, Misalliance, Heartbreak House, Saint Joan, and Back to Methuselah. The book takes seriously Shaw's claim that all of his characters are "right from their several points of view." We are compelled to respect the qualities and values of opposing and very different characters in these plays, and we also have a sense of their complementary defects. J. L. Wisenthal's commentary sheds light on Shaw's techniques of portrayal as well as his dialectical habit of mind. This finely written essay is for all lovers of Shaw and the theater.

Spanning from obscurity to notoriety, the films of director, screenwriter, actor and comic Elaine May have recently experienced a long-overdue renaissance. Although she made only four films - A New Leaf (1971), The Heartbreak Kid (1972), Mikey and Nicky (1976) and Ishtar (1987) - and never reached the level of acclaim of her frequent collaborator Mike Nichols, May's work is as enigmatic, sophisticated and unceasingly fascinating as her own complicated, reluctant star persona. This collection focuses both on the films she has directed, and also emphasises her work with other high profile collaborators such as John Cassavetes, Warren Beatty and Otto Preminger.

Where does heartbreak come from? Is it something that we evolved with? Do we really need it in the first place? In My Unbreak My Heart, a guide for those who have experienced, or are currently experiencing heartbreak, you will embark on a journey that will take you through the possible origins of heartbreak, and how it has become a mainstay within your culture. Moreover, My Unbreak My Heart seeks not to try to rationalize heartbreak, but to look deeper, behind the curtain of childhood trauma, emotional baggage, and age-old patterns that have kept you ‘stuck’ making the same types of relationship choices. Packed with practical exercises, My Unbreak My Heart also details the science of heartbreak, and how scientists are beginning to comprehend the internal workings of the heart–brain connection in order to grasp this relationship and its effects on people in everyday life. My Unbreak My Heart is not a how-to guide, but a must-do guide, that sets the scene for taking personal responsibility for your heartbreak and evaluating how you got to where you currently stand and all the choices you made that enabled this. Read this book with the intention of developing an inner voice that can direct you towards healthier relationships and experiences, with a thorough recognition of your own internal conflicts which, when finishing this book, will have you wondering why you ever set foot in toxic relationships in the first place.
