Book Description
There’s no doubt about it—breakups suck. But in the first few hours or days or weeks that follow, there’s one important truth you need to recognize: Some things can’t and shouldn’t be fixed, especially that loser who dumped you or forced you to dump him. It’s called a breakup because it’s broken, and starting right here, right now, it’s time to dry your tears, put down that pint of ice cream, log out of his e-mail, and open this book to Chapter One–and start turning your breakup into a breakover.
From Greg Behrendt, the co-author of the smash two-million copy bestseller He’s Just Not That Into You, comes It’s Called a Breakup Because It’s Broken--the ultimate survival guide to getting over Mr. Wrong and reclaiming your inner Superfox.

You will learn:
• Why you shouldn’t call him—and what he’s thinking when you do
• How to keep your friends and not lose your job
• How to avoid breakup pitfalls: IMing, stalking, having sex with your ex
• Reframing reality—seeing the relationship for what it was
• How to transform yourself into a hot, happening Superfox and get a jump on the better, brighter future that awaits

Destined to be one of your "breakup buddies".......2007-10-04
Reading this book after a breakup is a little like Bridget Jones taking relationship advice from the Smug Marrieds after her breakup with Daniel. But still, I didn't think the authors' writing was pedantic in any way.
The basic message of the book was, "get over him already." Filled with Q and As and basic exercises to get things out of your system, the book also offers strategies for coping effectively with getting over your breakup. Most importantly: do not call. Having recently gone through a breakup myself, I'd add another commandment to the list: don't cry over every little thing that reminds you of your ex (case in point: my ex's last name was Smith, and for three months after the relationship ended, every time I ran into someone with that last name, I burst into tears).
The book is funny and witty, and highly enjoyable, even if the authors aren't the most highly qualified to write about the subject (almost everybody could write a book about how someone or multiple people broke their heart). Many of the things the author says are completely true and blatantly obvious, but the person getting over the breakup doesn't always realize it. The book also made me realize that I'm not as heartbroken as I thought I was.
Great guide for those ready to move on after a breakup.......2007-09-28
I am a psychologist working at a college counseling center, and I have recommended this book to several of my clients who have experienced a relationship breakup. However, because the tone of this book is very lighthearted, almost irreverent, I've been selective in my recommendations. The authors--a husband and wife team who talk freely about their own past breakups--infuse plenty of humor into their work. There can be a thin line between being funny and empowering versus funny and belittling, and I do believe the authors fall well on the side of the former, but still, I'd recommend this book mainly for those who are READY to move on after a breakup but just are not sure how to do so.
The book has two main parts: "The Breakup," which centers around coming to terms with the reality that the relationship is truly over, and "The Breakover," which focuses on coping with this new reality. The chapters contain a wealth of helpful information, from personal stories by the authors to simple exercises and questionnaires to occasional recipes (I plan to try the "Crack Brownies" soon!). The second part of the book focuses on "Breakup Commandments" and contains a special chapter for men called "Dude, Get Off Her Long." On the whole, however, this book is mainly geared towards empowering women who have been dumped, with the authors frequently using endearments designed to give a much-needed self-esteem boost (including calling the reader "Superfox," "Pretty Lady," and "Hot Stuff").
Overall, the main point of this book is that the breakups are like a serious illness which is undeniably painful yet completely curable. With empathy, wisdom, and wit, the authors provide plenty of hope that you can pass through the destruction and devastation left by your broken relationship and embrace the wonderful new life waiting for you.
Funny but sad for brokenup couples.......2007-09-20
I'm not picky reading books. sometimes i read business books, and sometimes i read romance or salty novels.
I used to read serious psychological books and cooking recipe books..and so on.
I love books because through reading books i could know what i never got an experience and never done before.
The reason i say that i'm not picky reading books something is that i've read kind of simple, humorous and might be low quality but useful book for our life.
The book is just 'It's called a BREAKUP Because it's BROKEN'
Actually the author wrote this book as a kind of solution for just broken couple especially for girls. how to get over it and how to forget my ex. and what should we do after breaking up the relationship. As you know we spend so hard time after breaking up. The author as a counselor is trying to get people who just broke up encourage. But the side effect of this book is just that the breaking up relationship looks like easy to handle and solve, even subtle and simple one. Anytime we could find another partner as a girlfriend and boyfriend. just forget your ex even if you are so difficult to being alone and trying to find new one. Because of author's these statements make this book so funny and humorous.
Isn't it too much sad ? Through talking other people's sadness we could enjoy reading.
But i should recommend this book for just breaking up couples. It could help them.
Your replacement best friend.......2007-09-15
Greg and Amiira do a great job of providing sound advice and personal experience while topping it all off with great humor. Sure, not everyone is going to find the advice in this book overly astounding. For example, I think most girls know that it is probably not a good idea to keep calling your ex or secretly stalking his old hangouts. However, Greg and Amiira give the little extra nudge you need in order to see the light at the end of the tunnel and not pick up the phone instead of just knowing that you shouldn't. Plus the little extra bonus in this book is reading about all the crazy things people have done after a break-up. Reading their craziness pushes you to be even more sane and on your way to becoming a SuperFox!!
The only downside to this book for me was that I was the one that broke up with my boyfriend. Ninety percent of the time the book takes the perspective of the person dumped. It still was helpful, but just because you ended a relationship doesn't mean it hurts any less. I would have liked to see both perspectives more.
Not very helpful.......2007-09-15
After mutually agreeing to break up after 4 1/2 years I was still very sad and looking for something to help. This book wasn't it.
Whilst I like the fact that they try to get you to think positively about yourself, the "superfox" term is outdated annoying and distracting.
It covers questions or feelings you may have, but the "you thought your break up was bad" sections aren't very positive. I found myself not wanting to read them because I want encouragement, not stories of other peoples nightmares that could happen to anyone.
I have found other books helpful and I will keep them or give them to friends in need, this book will be donated to my local library. Hopefully someone else (maybe younger than mid-thirties) will find it helpful or insightful. I did not.

Chittums predictions are coming true.......2007-03-26
One look at what's happening with our porous southwestern border, the throng of illegals streaming across it, and our ineffectual government's refusal to seal and protect it makes this important analysis a must read for those who know the score concerning the looming national disaster that the evening news refuses to cover.
Very Good Book.......2007-02-26
Chittum talks about phases of Civil War II: 1. Tribalization, or the undermining of the concept of citizenship. 2. The creeping loss of democracy to private, governmental institutions and international bodies. 3. Gradually falling wages. 4. The slow decay of infrastructure in our cities and the abandonment by Americans and their replacement by minorities wedded to welfare and affirmative action. 5. Growing legal and illegal immigration to transform America into a typical Third World country. 6. Massive drive for gun control to cripple military potential from the working class. 7. Cooperation of the mass media to dumb down the population.
Near the end of the book he makes projections that you can see happening right now:
1.Shrinking hourly wage. 2. More immigrants than Americans. 3. Foreigners hold most Federal Debt. 4. Twenty million Third World slums on our borders known as `colonias'. 5. Manufacturing jobs moved out of the USA making it impossible for us to make or sell anything to the world. 6. Republican and Democratic politicians refusing to deal with the immigration crisis. Worse, both parties aid and abet it. 7. Growing power of advocates of Aztlan or the reconquest of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas by Mexico.
Buy This Book. Your Life May Depend Upon It........2007-02-01
I moved cross country because of this book. I spent months doing my own research, trying to refute the claims by this author and couldn't. Multicultural nations are filled with animosity, fear, distrust and ultimately do not survive. Even the liberal Harvard researcher Robert Putnam (author of "Bowling Alone") reluctantly admitted that people "hunker down" in diverse neighborhoods and don't trust either people who look like them and amazingly, people who do look like them. According to Putnam, Los Angeles had the lowest levels of trust of any city, while Chittum stated that Los Angeles would be ground zero for the coming civil war. Putnam was so distressed by his findings that he said "we must create a new us." Only an intellectual could come up with something so foolish.
The best part of the book is that he provides a geographical map of where the new nations are likely to be. He even maps out the white enclave areas in Texas, Georgia etc. and shows you the lack of viability and logistical problems of remaining in these spots.
The checklist will make a believer out of you. Some of these trends were somewhat apparent in 1996, but the vast majority were not. This man either had a crystal ball, or he knows what he's talking about. I gladly paid over $50 for this book, but now you can buy it for much less, so what are you waiting for? I literally have hundreds of books in my personal library, but if I were only allowed to keep one, it would be Civil War II.
A glimpse of the present and the future.......2007-01-30
Great book!! The chapter titled Civil War Checklist is especially disturbing because many things he mentions have already come to pass.
The breakup of America is inevitable. The chaos and bloodshed will make the Balkans and our first civil war look like some sort of game.
Dont buy this book unless you are ready for some startleing revelation's.......2007-01-10
This book written about ten year's ago is unfolding like the daily newspaper.SO many truths that are being shown so many lies being unvealed for people who are ready for a life changeing reality check here it is if this dont get you you motivated nothing will.

A breakup, divorce, or loss of a loved one isn't just the end of your relationship with that person. It's a continuation of every feeling of abandonment you've ever suffered. It's the loss of a system of approval you'd come to depend on. The struggle, as Gray points out in Starting Over, isn't just to find a new partner, but to get over those feelings of abandonment or loss or anger or whatever else gets dredged up by the end of a relationship.
Perhaps the book's most crucial chapter posits that the best way to get over the loss of love is to focus on the "love" more than the "loss." That may seem impossible, especially if the bum took off with your best friend, your life savings, and your Lyle Lovett CDs, but Gray didn't get to be a household name because the advice in his Venus and Mars books doesn't work. Remembering only the bad parts, Gray says, leaves you with an important part of your emotional being closed to new business.
As for the Venus and Mars stuff, that comes in the second half of the book, when Gray looks at how men and women start new relationships from different points of view, with different priorities (a man might want to have fun with no strings attached; a woman might carry with her a lengthy list of requirements for her next partner, a list that excludes virtually all available men).
If you've never read Gray's work before, you have to be prepared to check your cynicism at the door. This is earnest stuff, but it's also based on decades of experience counseling clients. He's not one of those photogenic, nine-times-divorced shrinklets who's telling you how to conduct your relationships without any real clue of what makes love last. This is the real package: nothing glib, nothing quick and easy, nothing you could've figured out from a "Love Is..." cartoon.
Book Description
Is it possible to find love again after a breakup, death, or divorce?
At the end of a relationship, it can sometimes feel like the end of the world. Devastation, loneliness, and bitterness are some emotions that exist due to a breakup, divorce, or the loss of a loved one. But with the help of this compassionate guide, Dr. John Gray expresses that you will survive and tells you how to find love again.
While the process of healing is similar with both sexes, there are distinct differences between the ways men and women heal their bruised hearts. In Mars and Venus Starting Over, Dr. Gray offers gender-specific advice on how to:
- Deal with pain
- Find forgiveness
- Discover the strength to let go
- Rebuild confidence
- Rise to the challenge of finding fulfillment again
Filled with gentle guidance, healing practices, and compassionate wisdom, Mars and Venus Starting Over will help men and women explore the meaning of loss, find their way through the healing process, and discover the secret to moving on.

Much needed insight.......2007-05-16
This book is insightfully written and is valuable in making relationships (of all kinds, not just romantic ones)work when dealing with someone who has experience the trauma of relationship loss. John Gray's entire series help take the sting out of interpersonal relationships by shining light on reactions that are not actually personal in intent but common across most people. This makes it easier to get along with other people and to avoid some basic male-female relating mistakes.
Dr. Gray in another of his Mars Venus books.......2007-01-20
These books are getting old. Same story as the last... same story as the next. Easiest way to get over someone is to get under someone ELSE!
A new start is always good.......2006-11-16
You don't have to divorce or die to start over. This is a good book to read for people who just need see their relationship from a different perspective or view. Relationships don't have to end to "start over". This is a book that can help you reevaluate your life and your relationships. The loss of a "loved one" does not always have to be permanent.
excellent guidance for moving on/& letting go of pain/hurt.......2006-09-29
typical John Gray take on male/female differences in dealing with loss, break-ups, or divorce, I found myself learning more & realizing what we tend to do without awareness when we have had our hearts broken & life altered, especially after any long-term marriage/relationship of 20+ years, it is not only a loss/death of a marriage, it is a total change of life-style, mind-set,& new set of rules, but what John Gray helped me to see is without healing properly from this event or any major loss, that if we don't grieve, & feel all the emotions from sadness, sorrow, fear, to anger we can't release the unhealthy part of that relationship & move forward to love & be more balanced in a new relationship, I think it will help me & others who have a desire to grow & be more balanced, without as John says by (giving too much or avoiding intimacy) I would advise this to anyone ready to move forward in their life with a open heart towards others.
THE GOSPEL TRUTH AND "FOREWARNED IS FOREARMED".......2005-09-24
This is the first book that clarified for me what men are doing when they use women the way they do after they get divorced. I'm a coach who works with midlife daters, and I see it all the time. I hoped it was just a few bad apples. Evidentally not. According to Gray, it's more the norm. That's like finding out there isn't a Santa Claus ... an illusion destroyed, but good to know, because a man "in transition" is simply not available emotionally, yet can be the most romantic and ardent seducer the woman has ever had, so she never sees it coming. He gets his ego back together and drops her like a hot potato.
The term "on the rebound" has been with us for decades. Believe it.
This book explains what we see -- men getting attached to the first woman who shows up at their wife's funeral "with a casserole and cleavage", so good women, women who think that's rude don't have a chance...but Gray clarifies what they're missing isn't much. (You tell me some go ahead and marry? Yes, and this might explain the 70% second-marriage divorce rate.)
Women tell me how frustrating the timing is because men grab a woman so fast, or more specifically, "the love of a woman," as Gray calls it, his need being what's important, not what woman it may be.
So what do we have here? Women, who tend, as Gray says, to wait too long coming upon men who are moving too fast ... there's an element of desperation there, and ... IT CERTAINLY EXPLAINS A LOT.
This is not a pretty picture, as other reviewers have mentioned.
Do women do this? Yes, but it isn't damaging because men are the recipients, and men typically can get sexually involved without getting emotionally involved. And ... women are more willing not to "use" men during this period, realizing they have nothing to offer (until healed). (As we learn in EQ research, women test higher in "social responsibility.") As Gray points out. What women and men both need to do is to pray for good timing (j.k., but hey, it IS IS "mars and venus" remember?)
Is this book helpful? Definitely. And about like a spoonful of medicine. It is excellent, truly excellent about explaining the dynamics and you may not like it, but you may be very, very glad you read it. Knowledge is power.
Is the book helpful for changing what may be inevitable? Only with awareness. What we can learn from this book is what might work better: (1) women who don't wait "too long" spending their time taking care of people, so when they do meet someone viable, they're on the desperate-edge; (2) men who can control their desperate loneliness after their woman leaves them (too bad they don't appreciate it until it's gone) and, as gentlemen, 'use' only women during this period who agree to it (every pot has a lid); (3) ergo, as much honesty on the part of both parties as is possible ... but the thing is, desperate people prevaricate; (4) women realizing there are few women who can engage in recreational sex and not get emotionally involved; (5) learning the signs of a man or woman who is not available (read the book); (5) knowing what you want and what it looks like (read the book, get coaching). (And it's great on how to heal and move on.)
So many great men and great women meet one another at the wrong time ... when the other one is just "starting over." (Hey, let 'em cut their teeth on someone else. If you think you're "different," read the book.)
Book Description
A collection of case studies illustrates real-world techniques, implementation, and strategies on corporate restructuring
Over the period 1981-1998, public companies with combined assets of over half a trillion dollars filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Over the same period, over 400 public companies underwent corporate spin-offs, divesting businesses valued at more than $250 billion. Each of these companies, and all of these dollars, were in some way or another involved in corporate restructuring. Gilson's cases studies have been used extensively in executive programs and are perfect tools to refer to when faced with real-world corporate restructuring issues.
Stuart C. Gilson (Boston, MA) is an Associate Professor at Harvard University and a widely acknowledged expert on corporate restructuring. He has studied and published on the intricacies of both domestic and international corporate restructuring.

Finance with Negative Signs.......2004-01-23
Someone (perhaps it was I) has said that bankruptcy is corporate finance with negative signs. This has always been true but it is amazing how far mainstream finance has gone to try to resist the comparison. The resistance must be, must have been more cultural than economic, because it is axiomatic that anything is a bargain at the right price, and that there is no more or less money to be made in "distress investing" than in any other. Two generations ago, there seems to have been only one person in American that really understood this point - the late Max Heine, who made his grubstake by investing in out-of-favor railroad bonds in the Great Depression, and then riding the wave of prosperity that emerged in World War II. In the same vein, 40 years ago just about any bankruptcy judge would have looked on an "assigned claim" as some kind of monster.
Times have changed. Now everybody's an arbitrageur. The "vulture investors" have their conferences, their social clubs, and for all I know, their own softball team.
Stuart C. Gilson"s "Corporate Restructuring" symbolizes the sea change from the old attitude to the new. It adds the imprimatur of the Harvard Business School to the notion that vulture investing is just another way of making money. As others have noted, this isn't a work of high theory - indeed it has a kind of slapdash, direct-off-the-photocopier feel that is remarkably common in business publications. For fancy theory, you look elsewhere - in law to the likes of Douglas Baird or Lucian Arye Bebchuk; in finance to the developing lore of "real options." But the case studies are an excellent device for getting a sense of the texture and possibilities of vulture investing. It can be read with profit alongside Hilary Rosenberg's "The Vulture Investors." Ambitious students who want the full theoretical framework will match it with David G. Luenberger's "Investment Science." But Gilson's work has merit on its own as one kind of introduction to this revolution in investment thinking.
Only usefull for students.......2003-03-04
What a waiste of money.... The writer has not included any anlyses or real solutions to the cases that a provided. Unless you are a student in a class that use this book, this book gives you absolute nothing.
Good book but needs a companion text.......2003-02-18
This is a very good case book, complete with intricate case studies illustrating numerous aspects of challenges often faced in restructuring in bankruptcy. However, the book assumes a level of knowledge about M&A concepts that many readers may not have. Consequently, I would recommend using this book in conjunction with another excellent text by DePamphilis entitled Mergers and Acquisitions: Integrated Approach. There are two editions. The second edition is more complete and up to date. It also tackles some of the problems illustrated in this book.
Just a collection of old cases.......2003-01-30
This book is a complete waste of time. It is just a collection of case studies bundled together and resold. There is no analysis done. The cases are merely reprinted word for word from the original HBS cases. There are three short intros to the different sections, but once again nothing useful. Great marketing ploy, lousy book.
Corporate Restructuring: It's Not Just for Lawyers Anymore.......2002-12-05
You'd be surprised by how few business schools offer courses on bankruptcy and restructuring. I know that I was. I came to Wharton this year to teach "Advanced Corporate Finance" in the MBA program. In preliminary "due diligence," I discovered there were no finance electives on bankruptcy and restructuring. To bridge the gap, I decided to conclude my course with two modules, one on Corporate Restructuring and the other on Bankruptcy.
Material for both modules came straight from Gilson's book. Students relished the case studies. They fueled many of the most lively and engaging discussions we enjoyed all term. Students are worried about the economy. For the first time, many also sense career opportunities in the area of distressed debt. When I planned the course, I counted on both to spur interest in the modules.
What I didn't count on was how well Gilson's cases would frame virtually all other material that I covered. Key lessons resurfaced from all modules: Financial Analysis and Forecasting, Capital Structure Policy, Capital Budgeting, and Mergers and Acquisitions. In each case, revisiting the ideas in the context of bankruptcy and restructuring threw them into high relief. So much so that I was able to substitute restructuring cases for those I had intended as "comprehensive" case discussions.
As important for educators, Gilson's cases provide all necessary background information about how key legal and procedural aspects of the Bankruptcy Code influence managers' decisions. In Gilson's cases, the decisions featured are crucial to determining how to maximize value in distressed situations, as well as how to distribute it when all is said and done.
In the final analysis, aren't these *exactly* the issues that MBA courses in corporate finance should address? My students at Wharton this term sure thought so. In the spring, my two sections are also already full. I've been told the "buzz" is mostly due to Gilson's restructuring material. Hopefully, some value was created in the delivery. Nonetheless, I couldn't recommend any material more highly for anyone planning to teach a spring term corporate finance course.

Book Description
When we suffer the loss of a relationship, we may feel as if our whole world is crumbling. We may believe we will never feel whole again. It's difficult to adjust to life alone, and to find the strength to go on, recover and rebuild. The good news is that it is possible.
The separation from a loved one or a divorce, while difficult, also presents opportunities for personal growth. We have the option of stagnation by choosing to live in the past or the potential for bursting out of our former limitations and moving on to bigger and better things. This book will help you gently pick up the pieces of the past, save what was good and create a better life.

Emotional Survival Skills for Everyone.......2004-09-01
We have the option of stagnation by choosing to live in the past or the potential for bursting out of our former limitations and moving on to bigger and better things. ~Micki McWade
While this book focuses on the survival of separation, divorce or even a breakup, it can also be read to gain insight into emotional survival itself. Micki McWade is a clinical social work who consults with divorce recovery groups in New York State. She is also the author of Getting Up, Getting Over, Getting On: A Twelve Step Guide to Divorce Recovery. She also went through a divorce in 1993 after 23 years of marriage and a three-year separation.
When the world crumbles, it is comforting to find an author who understands your conflicted emotions, the suffering you are enduring and can also help you see that even in the worst situation, there is room for personal growth.
The goal of this book is to hasten recovery and one of the first items in this book is the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous. It is then followed by the Twelve Steps of Divorce Recovery.
I would have liked this to be set up more as Day 1 on your road to recovery, Day 2, etc. However, perhaps this is a magical book where what you need most will be on the day of the year you need it. So, start this book on the date you are reading it and perhaps that message will be specifically for your healing at that particular moment. You may also want to read the entire book and make notes, although many of these lessons are probably best read and absorbed over time.
Life is complex enough without having to deal with all the tragedies of existence itself. Micki McWade is a friend who carefully guides you through the initial emotional storms and then helps you awaken from the deep waters of despair. She leads you to water where you can stand and technically, helps you "wade" through the internal conflicts that seem inevitable.
Each daily reading contains a quote and wise comments about how to live a more fulfilling life. I especially liked the quote by Katherine Paterson: What a gift of grace to be able to take the chaos from within and from it create some semblance of order.
On of the main themes of this book is to look to the future and imagine your future happiness as opposed to dwelling on the past sorrows. I also learned an important principle from March 21, where she talks about living in a state of fear or a state of love. It is interesting to note that when a person attacks you, a loving response is almost sure to dissuade further attacks. When we see how many people need our love, we can then respond in a more loving fashion instead of recoiling into a state of fear and preparing our own attack. Easier said than done.
Each meditation ends with an affirmation.
Affirmation: Today I will remember that my experience on earth includes the intellectual, physical, emotional and spiritual levels , and I will try to incorporate all levels into my daily existence.

A wonderful book with positive meditations that helped me get thru a hard time. I have read this book twice and will pick it up again when I need to.
Get started on emotional healing.......2003-03-23

Each day starts with an appropriate quote, followed by a short meditation and ending with an affirmation for the day. These are strong positive meditations that are sure to make a difference in the reader's life if they will take the time to reflect on them. This is a life-changing book and a highly recommended read.
Real help for moving on.......2002-07-07
Up till now surviving a breakup meant obsessing on the person until time faded the pain. These daily readings, from a wide variety of sources, help steer people toward actively looking at their own thoughts and behaviors. By giving this reader plenty to gnaw on, it began to move her away from the "poor, victimized me" syndrome.
When I got divorced I needed something on my bedside table I could open up and read at any time, especially in the middle of the night when the biggest demons come out to play. I find this book soothing yet firm, and always positive. It always leads me forward, not back. It helps me see that life can really be different and better, and that I can create my own circumstances. What a powerful notion, and I have started to put it to work.
This is not a book I plan to put away when I finish it. Even now, when I reread certain passages, I come away with new interpretations and ideas, and I can see my own progress.

Sassy?! Diva?! Give me a break!.......2007-04-18
This book attempts to teach a girl how to be a "diva" during the post break up period.
Question: "How is taping an envelope with a bug in it on your ex's door nob" a diva move?
Question: "How is jumping into rebound sex" with a stranger a diva move?
This book is very different from the idea presented in "It's called a break up because it's broken" and personally I agree with everything in that book says.
While "It's called a break up because it's broken" shows how to truely get over someone, this book merely shows you how to drown in your own anger and do stupid things that hurts both yourself and innocent others.
Fun and helpful.......2006-07-08
I loved how James wrote the book, making its readers feel as if they were getting advice from a girlfriend over martinis. In the sea of self-help books, this one takes a comical and fun approach to breaking up and moving on.
I didn't think it would help.......2006-04-07
but if you have or are going through a break up that cuts really deep, this book will really help ease some of the things you are feeling and help you feel a little more normal. I remember reading it a saying "holy crap, that is soooo true." Trust me it's just a little step that will help in a big way.
LOVED it!!.......2005-12-14
Over the past several years I have read multiple books on codependancy, relationships and addiction. (porn related)
This book was the the one which I related to the most.
We all have common sense and know when we should leave a relationship which is what you read by someone with a degree in the area. However we are all human and I truley believe unless you have been there, degree or not, you shouldn't be considered a "expert". This book is for the woman who is finally comming to her sences and needs the encouragement to move on and realize you are not the only "resentful(...)" out there. Worth the read!!
Affirming.......2005-12-13
This book is overall a gem with good suggestions for recovery and a lot of humor. It is probably a book for the college set but I am twenty-eight and really enjoyed it!
The best part about it is that it made me realize I'm not the only one who feels crazy during a breakup. I also felt like despite the obvious sarcastic bent to the book, it did have positive things to say about men. It is not a "let's be bitter forever" book. It's really all about having fun and feeling good about yourself.
I thought this passage was key: "Remember-though it is hard to get over someone you really care about, it is even harder to spend your life in an unfulfilling relationship." I keep reading that phrase over and over again and it has really changed my perspective on my breakup.

Breakup by Dana Stabenow.......2007-08-31
I have been a Dana Stabenow fan for the last 10 years. Her Kate Shugak series is so suspensful, touching, romantic and informative that I cannot stop reading her books. My friends have all borrowed my copies of her books and just rave about how well the books are written, the information about Alaskan life is exceptional, each page is full of suspense and intrigue. I even got my husband to read her books and he's addicted too! (that's saying alot since he normally only reads golf magazines) Can't wait for her next book.
The reason I ordered the Breakup book was to replace the one that fell apart from reading and rereading.
Aleutian wonder woman rides again..........2007-04-20
Terrific book! 7th in Stabenow's series featuring Kate Shugak, a resourceful, independent, courageous, and beautiful Aleutian descendant of Wonder Woman - remember Wonder Woman, anybody? This is Stabenow's funniest book yet - in my mind, it invites comparison to Janet Evanovich's books about Jersey. The heroines are not that much alike but the zany characters are similar - another writer who comes to mind in this context is Carl Hiassen. My previous favorite among Dana's books was Blood Will Tell, which has a much more serious focus, with an unforgettable portrait of Alaskan Indians and of Kate's grandmother/tribal leader, Ekaterina Shugak (Emaa). But I loved this one too, even though it's quite a different reading experience.
Compared to Hiassen and Evanovich, Stabenow's humorous mode is less over the top...her style in dialogue and description is wry with a touch of the laconic cowboy. The title refers to the season when Alaska "melts into a 586,412-square-mile pile of slush" - not quite winter and not quite spring - "it's too late for the snow machine and too early for the truck." And everyone with cabin fever comes out to play, including the bears, the neighbors feuding over the boundary between their farms, the parents from Massachusetts determined to lure their precious daughter (Kate's friend) back from her unfashionable life as a sleddog trainer and racer in Alaska.
We in Pennsylvania know about this season, but fortunately we don't have it quite as long. Pennsylvanians will get a kick out of the brief description of Pa. tourists kicking back in Bernie's Roadhouse, where the décor features a severed middle finger preserved in a bottle of Jose Cuervo Gold. Stabenow's characters and dialogue zing off the page and bring the whole crazy crew to roaring life.
There IS a murder in this book, but that story is so skillfully woven into the comedy that it seems like a subplot. Discovery of the murderer is no surprise, and neither is the independent action that Kate takes to bring frontier justice. But the final scenes, in which we see Kate reluctantly fulfilling her Emaa's wishes by becoming involved in working for the good of the Native American community, connects us back to the earlier books and points to an interesting future for Kate. Can't wait to read it, Dana! Thank you!
I very much enjoyed this book.......2005-03-22
Stabenow manages to capture perfectly the chaotic feel of Alaska life. I worked up there several summers and it felt like I was back in one of the frontier towns that I remember fondly. This is pretty far into the Shugak series, but a librarian recommended that I start with this book. I found that I did not need to read any of Stabenow's other books in order to fall in love with Shugak and the series. Since then I have pretty much read them all and I would say that none of them quite matches this one. So if you have not read any Shugak mysteries yet, this might be a good place to start.
What's so unusal about this book while comparing it to both others in the series as well as other mysteries, is that it pretty much doesnt have a mystery. Instead what makes this such a fun read is that you are lead on an excursion into the life of the protagonist that is well worth following along upon.
Beware the Alaska Breakup!.......2004-06-05
As readers of this hilarious entry in the wonderful Kate Shugak series now know, Breakup is the time between the frozen solid Alaska winter and the spring--a time when the potholes reach several feet deep, the slush competes with the mud, the weather is unpredictable--and the bears wake up crabby and hungry from their long hibernation. It's also a time, apparently, when the locals take leave of their senses, and the most mundane errand is run at one's own risk.
Kate sees most of the action in this novel from the floor of her local pub, where stray bullets from angry housewives are flying at random; in the mud, where she is knocked down several times by everyone from friend to foe to bear; and from her house, which just happens to be partially demolished by an engine that has dropped from the sky off a jetliner. And that's just in the first few pages!
Even wonder-dog Mutt is cranky in this truly funny look at all the regulars as they emerge--like the bears--from their long winter hibernation. There's a serious undertone dealing with Kate's new and unwanted position as head of tribal affairs, but mostly it's just a wild romp as we get to know our favorite Alaskans maybe a bit too well.
Much recommended!
Unconvincing daydream.......2003-07-29
This book reads like someone's fantasy life. The protagonist, Kate Shugak, never makes mistakes, never loses an argument, and never has to compromise. She can terrify men with a glance and stop armed combat with her bare hands. She can also seduce a cold-blooded murderer and hypnotize a room full of men with a change in her voice. She claims to love men, but doesn't "expect much of them." The only man she maybe-loves, from many miles away, warms her heart by his casual reply to the report of a bear mauling someone to death, but she ridicules such bravado ("manly-man" behavior) in anyone else. She professes an abiding commitment to her oath to uphold the law, but commits a petty crime, and for petty reasons, minutes later. She rescues an irresponsible husband (for the second time), when he is bound naked, spread-eagled, and gagged, from the rifle of his hysterical wife, but "sides with the tribe" when she tells a state trooper that their children are not in danger.
The book goes on and on this way, asking the reader to believe that a five-foot-tall woman is actually some kind of superbeing, able to cope with any kind of problem, no matter how absurd or wrong-headed her methods might be. If she were real, her mother would be Wonder Woman, and her other mother would be Marilyn. (If it were up to her, I don't think Kate Shugak would _have_ a father.) She can kick ass or make doe eyes, whichever the moment requires, and always with 100% success. Like Alda's "Hawkeye" character, everything always just seems to work out her way. She never has to deal with mistakes or meaningful opposition to her wishes.
This was a really well-written book about a dreadful person living a charmed life. I can easily imagine the audience that makes it such a success. But, I found it so far below credible and so self-indulgent, that I'd give it one star if it weren't for a few snappy scenes that prove Stabenow could be a good writer if she'd only grow up.

Close to Receiving Actual Therapy after the Broken Heart.......2004-10-11
Well, first, I think everyone of us needs to acknowledge the heart is broken before reading anything or seeking any help. I read through this book and the points the author made are remarkable. People always say, "You get hurt. What things are you doing to make you feel better?" Well, seriously follow the guide the author tells you. I went through a painful breakup and was under the partial program. The path this book suggested is very similar to what I was told in the partial program. I did what the partial program people told me and it worked. After the broken heart, the first thing is really giving the attention and the care. Focus on yourself. This book has good tips about how to do so. Put your broken heart into what she says and try to understand. Feel it as the pain and anger comes. It is ok. Practice what she says. It is ok to take good care of yourself.
Again, one book is not going to fix it all. There are so many layers you need to explore and acknowledge. There are so much garbage you have inherited from the past, especially your early childhood experience. You cannot just expect you will feel completely good after one reading. However, try to explore what the author says. If you are searching for "do things to feel better", read this book and do what the author suggests. Identify what the author says and do what the author told you. Remind yourself you might have the tendency to withdraw or try self-medicating yourself. You will have that tendency because you are human. Stay in presence.
This book also offers you as an extra support for you to understand many of us go through heartbreaks. We just all do. The heart will hurt and it will seem like it is forever. But until we can truly honor the pain can we truly heal. It is about healing and not running away from it. The book offers the help and telling you that you are not crazy. Your experience was just not widely spread in the public media but it happens in our society. Please take really good care of yourself. You will heal when you walk out from this experience and find out who you are meant to be.
The most helpful ...........2002-05-02
When I recently went through a very painful break-up, I ended up purchasing approximately 10 books to read to help me through it. THIS was the one that helped me the most. It is a compassionate, realistic look at how you're feeling, what you're going through and how you may avoid repeating these mistakes again, again and again all of them. The author reminded me throughout of my own self-worth and helped me to come to an understanding of who I am and why I chose this relationship to begin with - and what I could gain by letting it go, yeah!! living through the pain, and seeing a new life on the other side. I hope I NEVER experience this kind of pain again. With the valuable words of Ms. Koman's I could see a light at the end of the tunnel and a greater understanding of who I am and what kind of life I could provide for myself in the future.
Good advice that can be too harsh at times........2001-03-14
I enjoyed this book, but I am writing this review to warn some of you that this probably shouldn't be the first book you read after a tough break-up or divorce. The first section of the book is sometimes harsh and negitive about the value of love and it's importance in your life. Most things said are very true, but it sometimes comes across blunt and a hard manner to absorb if you are still very emotionally tender, or rather depressed. I would recommend a more light/positive book first, such as "Mars And Venus: Starting Over." Again, it's a good book, the case studies are very helpful but it may be a little hard for some of us who have seen our significant other just walk out the door. Hope this helps, but then again it's just my two cents!
This book is a must for anyone who has ever lost another.......1998-02-13
This is an amazing book. Buy this book if you have ever had your heart brokern by a lover, husband, wife, friend or relative. It will help you find peace.
An easy to read book , well written , good practical advice.......1997-06-03
This is a well written book, which addresses the common problem of letting go of your pain and getting on with your life. It is especially
useful in dealing with the various ways in which we can feel loss. The stated cases give insight into the depth of feeling and the ways in which we can deal effectively with loss.
The most important aspect of getting on with your life is first discovering that you are important. Ms Koman states over and again the need for self worth in each of us.
This is a book which should be read by everyone not just those who are currently in a state of pain
Book Description
This fresh new angle on the future scenario thriller is presented in a unique new format: the novelzine TM. It's a novel printed in magazine form. Author R.L. Muehlberg spins the clock to 2012 A.D. He pits the world's newest superpowers, United Europe and the Asia-Pacific Confederation, against a world-weary, financially-exhausted United States and a divided Canada. In Jet Stream - Part 1 of Muehlberg's WWIII: The Breakup of America trilogy, an independent Quebec allies with United Europe in a surgical, brutal attack against the United States and Canada. Jet Stream is a cautionary adventure that warns against a frighteningly plausible future.

Imaginitive vision of the future.......2007-10-09
I am a huge fan of futurist fiction. Really enjoyed Jet Stream. This is a highly effective, intelligent and chilling vision of the future. I agree with one of the other reviewers that futurist writers should choose dates that won't get old fast! 2012 is right around the corner! But that said, it doesn't really matter. Space Odyssey 2001 for example, is a classic despite not being an entirely accurate predicition for the environ of 2001!
If you enjoyed this book you will love Richard Friar's recent novel "The Keepers: WWIII." The Keepers: Part 1: WWIII
Great Read.......2007-05-10
I stumbled across Jet Stream by accident while browsing Amazon for books having a WWIII/Geo-Policitcal theme to them. When I came across Jet Stream I almost passed it up as it was written in 1996 and the title did not catch my eye.
Was I glad I went back, read a few reviews and then bought the book. I could NOT put it down. Great story line that is not all that far fetched.
If you enjoy Tom Clancy, Harold Coyle or Eric L. Harry then you will enjoy this book!!
Hopefully we will see more from RL Muehlberg!!!!
unpredictable future, citizen soldiers, etc........2006-08-02
I enjoyed JET STREAM when I read it about ten years ago (it was published in 1996). This was a half-decade before the attacks of September 11, the invasion of Afghanistan (where the Canadian Forces are now operating and where their peerless and decorated sniper teams also supported American military units so ably in the initial phases), and the Second Iraq War (where British troops have carried their share of the load so very well under difficult conditions in Basra). All of these events may have seemed implausible or impossible to many readers in 1996.
The inability to predict future events with complete accuracy is what makes futuristic novels and alt-history so enjoyable.
It is important that readers remember that this is "fiction," and the author can have some fun with alternate "scenarios." Yes, we were and are allied with Canada and Great Britain in NORAD, NATO, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc. Yes, we have "special relationships" with both of these great countries. But, even if some of the elements of the JET STREAM story seems implausible in light of today's events, it helps to remember (repeat!) that this is "futuristic fiction," and to suspend disbelief and go with the flow.
I re-read JET STREAM just last week in one sitting. I found that I still enjoyed the story. If anything, it may have helped if the author had moved the timeline back to 2020 or 2030 AD in order to further distance the story from current world events. I can only hope that he will do so in any updated edition of the book that may be published in the future.
The author could not know, when he published the book in 1996, that the Shangai Cooperation Organization (SCO) -- China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan -- would be created in 2001. Nor could he know that Iran would be granted observer status to the SCO in 2005. Who could have guessed that populist Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez would be visiting Russia, Iran, Vietnam, Cuban, and many South American nations in an attempt to build counterbalancing relationships directed at the United States? Who could have guessed that the PRI political party would lose its 70-year hold on the political system in Mexico in 2000, or that the PAN and PRD political parties would be locked into the current presidential electoral situation in 2006? Who could have guessed that Al Quaeda would perpetrate the 9/11 attacks or that Israel and Hezbollah would be locked into the current conflict?
Just the establishing of the SCO makes one realize that the author's Asia-Pacific Confederation is not implausible.
On another thematic level, the role of the citizen soldier (or professional sailor or Maine State Police troopers) in defending a weary and isolationist United States is a critical element in JET STREAM. The Maine National Guard soldiers under Lt Kirby and the fast attack boat sailors under Adm Chang are loyal to the "idea" of America.
When the author publishes his second and third books, I hope that he will also find a role for other federal elements, like the U. S. Coast Guard, the border inspection services, the U. S. Border Patrol, etc. Adding them to the mix will certainly add to/spice up FATE LAUGHING (volume two) and ARMAGEDDON (volume three). I can only hope that the author will have the time and wherewithal to publish these follow-on volumes at some point in the future.
Let me conclude by saying that JET STREAM is a quick, easy, and fun read. I recommend it.
Timely read for the 2003 paranoid American.......2003-04-04
I originally read this novelzine in 1997 and found the plot quite foolhardy. The content was simplistic but I could not put the book down until I had read it cover to cover. Not hard to do at 129 pages. Anyway,when the french and germans started there petty little games this year I remembered this story and read it again. Wow! How different it hit me this time. You still have to stretch to get even alittle reality out of it but the parts with the protesters ralling againt America defending itself is right on. Now in a time when this plot may actually ring true (stretch mind you) the rest of the story remains unwritten. Where is the rest of the Trilogy? I attempted to email the author using the address in the book to no avail. So now that reality has caught up to his vision he leaves his futuristic prediction unfinished. Now that is "Fate Laughing". P.S. Remember RED DAWN the US will never fall with Patrick Swayse and Jennifer Grey leading the charge. I really do think it's worth the read. Thank You R.L. Muehlberg you were ahead of your time.
Great Read.......2003-01-14
The book has a new and different twist on a theme that has been around some time. It is an easy and very interesting read and the author is to be offered congrats on a job well done.
