Break Up on Purpose

Break Up on Purpose Synopsis

An honest guide to breaking up and breaking through with practical advice from the bestselling author of Single on Purpose, John Kim.

Every breakup is painful. Yet it is also a transformation. A breaking down and breaking through to a new version of who you are now, after you have severed ties. Nothing will change you like a broken heart. Yet every breakup is different.

John Kim, The Angry Therapist, has guided thousands of patients through breakups of every brutal, freeing, heartbreaking kind—and he's lived through failed relationships and his own divorce recovery. Through his journey as a therapist and as a partner and father, John has identified eight types of unique breakups—and provides a roadmap for getting over a breakup, no matter the type:

• The Big One Break-Up (the One you Compare All To)
• The Blindsided Break-Up
• The “Flat Soda” (Mutual) Break-Up
• The You Cheated/You Left Me for Someone Else Break-Up
• The Soap Opera Break-Up
• The Almost-Relationship Breakup
• The Break Up That Never Ends
• The D-word (Divorce)

Break Up on Purpose shows us how a breakup can be the ultimate tool for personal growth, where we discover bodies rewired, trauma processed, false beliefs dissolved, and new standards set.
