You picked up this book because your breakup has been reduced to something that you feel you must “win” to emotionally survive and move on. This reduction can only take place if you were involved with a toxic person.

Toxic people are selfish, empathetically bankrupt, and have a limited relationship with reality. Anyone who feels validated by exploiting your hunger for theirs is toxic—to your peace, your life, and your mental health.

Breakups aren’t won by game-playing or vilifying your ex. They’re won by realizing that winning is losing a partner who has proven to be a dead end.

A new life is waiting for you at the end of this journey. In How to move on after a break up, relationship and self-help coach Donald Clay presents the opportunity for a life with relationships that you don’t have to tolerate and eggshell-walk your way through.

It’s a life in which your ex regrets the day they ever decided to breach your trust and break your heart; a life in which those who took you for granted wish you could find a way back into theirs. In this life, you can choose to walk away from toxicity—no more trying to be the person someone may want, may commit to, may be honest with, and may treat with respect.

This life is about to be your own. .
