The world needs another self-help book like it needs another
Reality TV show. At least, that's what I would have said a year
ago, right up until I found myself in need of something-"anything
"-to pull me through the worst breakup of my life. What do you do
when you want to be gracious, graceful, pragmatic, and filled with
equanimity, but you're so hurt and angry you feel as if you could

and practical techniques for moving through the lowest depths of
