Imagine being left by the person you love and bouncing back stronger than ever. Written by best-selling authors, Dr. Elaine and Joe Foster, I Wish I Knew This Before My Divorce uses the latest advances in cognitive behavioral treatment to break the struggle between holding on and letting go. In this East-meets-West approach to finding serenity, the authors dissect the causes of your breakup, the myths that block your path to happiness and the steps you need to take to end your suffering. World-renowned clinical psychologist, Elaine Foster, is an expert in the fields of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mood regulating medicines and the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder. Through her work using the "third-wave" of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) she has designed a revolutionary strategy for achieving Radical Acceptance during one of the most devastating events in life. The book uses proven research, easy therapeutic techniques and real-life stories to help the reader find balance in the turbulent waters of a breakup. Mindfulness experts like Jon Kabat Zin (No Matter Where You Go, There You Are), agree that these tested strategies will not only improve your health but also inspire you to thrive in the face of catastrophe. Now, you can use the power of ACT to breakthrough society's do and don'ts and stop should-ing on yourself. During this journey you'll learn: Your ex doesn't belong to you Craving for contact with your partner can keep you stuck in a cycle of vulnerability and powerlessness Your spouse is leaving the relationship, NOT you and what you can do about it A new, blockbuster theory for avoiding the deadly rebound No matter how much heat you're taking for this separation, a breakup is rarely one person's fault. Nothing hurts like being left by the person you thought would always be there for you, but you can learn to ride out the hard feelings by diving into this journey of discovery. By using this couple's 7-day ACTion plan, you will learn how to find peace no matter what direction your relationship takes. Each day of the week will build on the lessons you learned from the last, freeing you from suffering so you can skillfully ride the crests of change to the satisfying life you were always meant to live.

It's absolutely gorgeous, practically flawless, and let's be honest, really big!But what the successful Chicago realtor doesn't have anymore is a husband. After 12 years of marriage, her husband, Paul, a handsome, wealthy attorney has devastated her by breaking up their marriage for Priscilla Sommerfeld, a young, personal trainer, who according to Missy's sassy assistant, J.J., looks more like a Las Vegas stripper than a fitness expert.Not sure what to do with her ring, and with no financial issues to worry about, Missy decides to put it up for sale on Craigslist. The price: 99 cents! The catch: She gets to pick the buyer. In essence, she's looking for the perfect guy, but not for herself. Her hope is to regain faith that good men do exist, and that marriages can last forever.Now referring to herself as "the divorced girl," Missy interviews dozens of young men who are vying for the huge ring. It's a contest that includes outrageous characters, hilarious and sentimental stories, and two finalists, both of whom Missy adores and who she must choose between. Then there's Parker Missoni, the sexiest contestant by far, who drives her crazy with his brutal honesty, and at the same time stops her heart with his deep brown eyes.Divorced Girl Smiling is the story of a woman's journey to do whatever it takes to heal herself from divorce. It's about acceptance, reflection, taking accountability for mistakes, and appreciating all of life's wonderful gifts. In other words, if you have the guts to put the past behind, admit your mistakes, embrace your future, and give love another chance, you will surely be a divorced girl smiling.

Welcome to The Relationship Guide For Optimists. F. Scott Fitzgerald said, "There are no second acts in American lives." He was a literary genius, but a relationship dummy. Or pessimist, anyway. Of course there are second acts in our lives. And nineteenth and 100th acts, too. If you're an optimist, that is. If you optimistically reject that a few words-say, til death do us part-eliminate forever any chance to begin anew. Or that bad decisions, or ones that despite good intentions and efforts turn out poorly, are final. No, optimists think unfortunate, even horrible, situations are natural, inevitable challenges in a well-lived life. Many-most-serious relationships don't last a lifetime. They just don't. But when that happens, here we don't mourn or seethe. Optimistically, we say, well ok, time for a reality check. Recommit and dig in for another attempt at rebirthing the relationship? Maybe. But, maybe not. Perhaps it's time to gently, thoughtfully, caringly put things in order. And take loving care of others. Then go back to that hopeful you, start fresh, search for happiness again. That's what optimists do, right? Fall down but get back up, brush off and keep moving ahead? Sound like you? Or a person you'd like to be, or be again? Then this guide's for you, optimist.
