In Science of Breakup, author and scientist Anne Freier takes us on a journey into our most intimate relationships and how their painful endings can shape us both psychologically and biologically. Drawing on years of research and conversations with experts across the scientific community, she explores the contemporary science behind our greatest emotion – from the evolution of love to the neuroscience of heartbreak – and shows us how and why we love and grieve the loss of love. Guiding us through scientifically-tested strategies to help us get over heartbreak, Science of Breakup demonstrates how our brains can help us through dark times, and finally free us from the tunnel vision of our deepest sorrows.
