The 30-Day Heartbreak Cure

A soap opera actress takes one-day-at-a-time heartbreak recovery to a new level by offering 30 days of assignments designed to help people disengage from a lost love. With cogent insights and illustrations from her own recovery from several difficult relationships, she's a humane and credible teacher. Her narration of her work, which is written with chatty intensity, sounds at once innocent and assertive. Her delivery is dramatic but believable because she conveys a desire to connect with her listeners that remains strong throughout the recording. More than a celebrity memoir, her articulate prescriptions, advice, and meditations are a blend of current behavioral science and pop psychology approaches. This is a useful, easy-to-hear resource for regaining personal balance after a painful romantic loss. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
