Why is it so difficult to keep one love for a lifetime? The Breakup Bible shares a new view of why we fall in and out of love, and why this painful process is not only natural – but essential – if we are to find true love. "Oprah!" veteran Daphne Rose Kingma unravels the layers of emotion we experience after a love ends, to show a way to take out the blame and fear and contextualize the event as a life-giving experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breaking Up Without Falling Apart., November 2, 2000

This review is from: The Break-up Bible (Audio Cassette)

I have listened to this collection several times. The author is a well known therapist with a lot of successful experience counseling people through difficult, painful breakups. Her compassion seems genuine and palpable. Her insight is interesting and refreshing. Basically, she argues that breakups occur when one or both partners are "finished" meeting objectives that could only be met through the relationship that is ending, but that once met, we need to pursue different relationships suitable for helping us meet new objectives. While it is possible, she explains, for many of us to eventually link with others who change at approximately the same rate and in the same manner as ourselves, it is often the case that partners are suitable for one another in the short run, but not in the long. She explains this in a nonblaming, helpful, positive manner and uses many interesting, credible examples. She also provides helpful advice on how to get through a breakup. I have read many papers and chapters on relationship dissolution (breakups) and find this author's treatment to be particularly helpful. No one source, of course, can answer all questions about all matters important to this or that human experience. Thus, I do not recommend this selection as flawless. However, if you are interested in listening to a helpful, encouraging, informative, useful collection of tapes on breakups, then this is a very worthwhile purchase. Moreover, it helps that the speaker's voice is crisp, clear, and attractive.

5.0 out of 5 stars I read this book every year!, May 11, 2004

This review is from: The Break-up Bible (Audio Cassette)

I have been listening to the Breakup Bible off and on for a few years now. Every time something changes with the relationships in my life, this audio book gives me much needed answers on why people (including myself) do what they do. The book comforts me because it lets me know that there is a flow to all relationships and I can learn something to all of them.
