“A relationship expert whose work is like that of a scientific Carrie Bradshaw.” —THE OBSERVER
A self-affirming, holistic guide for everyone—single or married, divorced or dating—to transforming heartbreak into healing by the founder of the innovative and revolutionary Renew Breakup Bootcamp.

Although she was angry and broken-hearted, Chan soon came to realize that the breakup was the shakeup she needed to redirect her life. Instead of descending into darkness, she used the pain of getting over a breakup as a bridge to self-actualization. She devoted herself to learning various healing modalities from the ancient to the scientific, and dived into the psychology of love. It worked. Fast forward years later, Amy completely transformed her life, her relationships and founded a breakup bootcamp helping countless women heal their hearts.

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Chan, founder of the Renew Breakup Bootcamp retreats, debuts with the inspiring account of how a devastating breakup became a catalyst for her to help others heal. Chan establishes an immediate connection to anyone who has been unlucky in love: "It's never about the ex. It's always about the recycled pain." In addition to stories of breakups hers and those of the women who attend her boot camps Chan offers advice on how to "live better, learn more," and practice self-love so readers can thrive in future relationships. She covers the reasons breakups hurt (usually because one is caught in "linear model" of "date, move in, get married, have kids, stay together forever"), shame, self-compassion, and the stages of grief and separation. To move on from romantic difficulties, she recommends readers figure out their personality category the career-oriented "overachiever," perfectionist "superhuman," relationships-oriented "pleaser," the romantically pessimistic "jaded," or the validation-craving "addict" and consciously steer away from destructive triggers and behaviors. Chan also challenges the idea of soul mates and places some of the blame of unrealistic expectations in dating on fairy tales and romanticism. Those seeking comfort and proactive ways to overcome heartbreak will relish Chan's upbeat advice.
