When her twenty-five-year marriage unexpectedly falls apart,
journalist Florence Williams expects the loss to hurt. What she
doesn't expect is that she'll end up in the hospital, examining
close-up the way our cells listen to loneliness. 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. Searching for insight as well as personal strategies to
game her way back to health, Williams tests her blood for genetic
markers of grief, undergoes electrical shocks in a laboratory while
looking at pictures of her ex and ventures to the wilderness in
search of awe as an antidote to loneliness. For readers of Wild and
Lab Girl, 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.
