Review [Readers] will learn as much from Williams’s intellectual rigor as from her fearlessness in surviving a broken heart. Sebastian Modak, New York Times Book ReviewIn Heartbreak [Williams] reprises [the] determined, deep-dive reporting [of The Nature Fix], this time seeking the same healing for her shattered self... This is one of the joys of reading a gifted science journalist: You learn so much stuff without having to study it yourself... [A] wise and brave book. Marianne Szegedy-Maszak, Washington PostA masterful blend of investigative reporting and personal narrative, chock-full of fascinating insights, gorgeous nature writing and an ample helping of compassion (some of which Williams deservedly reserves for herself). Alexis Burling, San Francisco ChronicleThis innovative book will have you rooting for Williams to understand her own body’s pain and, by extension, all of ours. Zibby Owens, Katie Couric MediaAn engrossing survey of the latest research on the cardiology, neurology and genomics of lost love punctuated by the author’s many experiments with healing... Williams’s journey through her pain is by turns wrenching, fascinating, funny, and, for so many of us, deeply relatable. Dana Dunham, Scientific AmericanFascinating. People MagazineAs a guide to science, Williams is the best kind a hot adventure-nerd goddess, by turns fascinating and funny. The real magic happens, however, when she turns that eye inward, revealing herself as destroyed, vulnerable, and tentatively optimistic, sometimes all at once. Elizabeth Hightower Allen, OutsideThis surprisingly frank and funny book is what happens when a formidable science journalist turns her powers of observation and inquiry on her own broken heart. Bonnie Tsui, author of Why We SwimWhat a powerful book. Williams captures the heartache of divorce and the crooked road back to living. Colorful, imaginative and poignant Heartbreak tells a gripping story of courage, sex, and adventure packed with all the newest hard science on romance and attachment. I’ve studied love for over 40 years and I was taking notes. It’s a magnificent, wise, and remarkable read! Helen Fisher, author of The Anatomy of LoveHeartbreak by Florence Williams is a graceful account of losing a marriage and finding another way of being. With vulnerability and veracity, Williams seeks various modes of understanding the physicality of loss. Whoever has felt the blistering heat of a broken heart will thank Florence Williams for a clear moving river of discoveries Terry Tempest Williams, author of ErosionI tore through this book, unable to do anything else. Even sleep. Florence Williams has taken the most common form of psychic pain--heartbreak, her heartbreak--and transformed it into a meditative masterwork on what it means to live a good life, with biological and genetic markers and dozens of scientific studies to back up her claims. Awe: remember this word. You will feel it at the end of this book, and it could save your life. Deborah Copaken, author of Ladyparts “Keen observer [and] deft writer” (David Quammen) Florence Williams explores the fascinating, cutting-edge science of heartbreak while seeking creative ways to mend her own.When her twenty-five-year marriage suddenly falls apart, journalist Florence Williams expects the loss to hurt. But when she starts feeling physically sick, losing weight and sleep, she sets out in pursuit of rational explanation. 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.Soon Williams finds herself on a surprising path that leads her from neurogenomic research laboratories to trying MDMA in a Portland therapist’s living room, from divorce workshops to the mountains and rivers that restore her. She tests her blood for genetic markers of grief, undergoes electrical shocks while looking at
