Helpful but only if you're already feeling okBy CustomerI enjoyed this book and found parts of it to be helpful but that is mostly because I had already read other books that were much more useful in helping me get over the pain of my divorce. If this had been the first one I read, I probably wouldn't even have finished it. So if you're just starting down the road to a better life, I'd recommend "Getting Past Your Breakup: How To Turn A Devastating Loss Into the Best Thing That Ever Happened To You" by Susan Elliot...and yes, it delivers if you do the work. Then move on to "Thriving after Divorce" because you'll be ready for it. If you're in a place of devastating pain, this book isn't for you right now.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A "Must Read", regardless of your relationship status!By Sarah M. KeatingThe title "Thriving After Divorce" implies that this book is written to support divorcees; this is true. This book is equally an excellent source of support and information for those people, single or with a partner, who are invested in having a happy, healthy relationship.There are certainly cultural stages to life; in many parts of the United States, to be a single, child-less, 30-something woman is to feel left out. At this age, the stage appears to be "normally" set with a career, placed somewhere off to stage left as a partner and children enter from stage right. Some women who lack a partner and/or children at this age may feel that they did not receive a part on the stage; instead, these women feel that they have been banished to an audience of one, as their friends and peers act out a life filled with family. At times, as I have watched my friends partner up and have children, (and now some of them are even beginning to have their second child), I have felt alone - the single member of the audience.In reading "Thriving After Divorce", I have realized that the act that involves partnering up and having children is not confined to a certain period of time or age. Reading this book has helped me realize that there are other parts of my life, of me, that I can focus on, and that by focusing on these parts of my life, I will generally be happier and healthier, which is much more likely to attract a complementary partner. This book has helped me take stock of what I want to bring into a relationship, what I need to work on in order to fulfill that goal and also what I expect from my future partner and from the relationship.Although I have neither been married, nor divorced, "Thriving After Divorce" has been an insightful journey into self-awareness and personal responsibility. This book is equally for those who have yet to enter a serious relationship as it is for those who are in the process of extricating themselves from one.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The Best Book I Have Ever ReadBy PrimetimeI highly recommend this book for anyone going through a divorce or a break-up. I have read the book twice. The information in there is so true, motivational, and priceless. The book is easy to read. It will help you find the courage you need to move on after the death of your marriage. I am so glad I purchased the book. This is one of the books I will never part with, because I have referred back to it so many times over the last two years to help me get through the darkest years of my life. Thank you Tonja for writing this book!
