"Getting Past Your Breakup" is undoubtly one of the best books I read on the subject. Eloquently written,it guides you through the stages of post-break up grief, offers tools and techniques to turn loss and pain into engine of personal growth. Susan Elliot's book is much more than a post-break up first-aid - which it is too, and very effective one! It teaches you how to set healthy boundaries, how to restore / build up self- esteem, how to identify patterns in broken relationships... how to move on and start dating without falling into the same pit over and over again. Working through the book resulted in me becoming much more balanced, self-assured and assertive person and it has postive impact on virtually all major areas of my life: my relationship with my son, with my sister, on my professional life.

Susan Elliott has written a gem.
As a long time reader and major fan of her blog (Getting Past Your Past - GPYP), I was so thrilled to find all the key pieces of her programme in this book. Susan tells it like it is - no nonsense, to the point and completely honest, yet with a huge dose of caring and love. I credit Susan and her programme with still being here and being sane! After being left multiple times by the 'love of my life' (or so I thought), and being utterly broken-hearted, following Susan's advice has allowed me to recover, get through the pain and out the other side, and develop a much better life. This book tells you exactly how to go about getting past your break-up (though it can be used for lots of other losses too) - follow her advice and you WILL get there and, indeed, will find that you are much better off than you were before. Not only is her writing informed by years of study and practice as a therapist and grief counsellor, she has also been through - and come through - so much in her own personal life in the past.
I think I have read just about every break-up and personal development book on the planet. But there is only one I keep by my bed. And this is it.

Getting past your break up is one of the best books i have read in a very long time! In fact,i would go as far as saying-it has saved my sanity. The book is written in a very accessible manner without the usual jargon. Susan included some real life examples and eye opening practical excersises.This book is not only about getting over failed relationships,but also about living a healthy and fulfilling life.Since reading the book and joining the gettingpastyourpast blog, my life has changed enormously and i owe Susan a massive thank you!!Full 10 out of 10! I would say that anybody who wants a life changing reading should get this book!!
