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!
