[If you have read the book, add one or two sentences about what stood out for you. If you have not, delete this line.] What Survival After Separation is It is an eBook by Penny Price, who has worked as a relationship counselor for over 20 years and has met with thousands of people going through heart-shattering breakups. The book is over 130 pages of what the order page calls "easy to read, step-by-step 'instructions'" to help you understand the psychology of your breakup and then recover as quickly as possible. It is not new. Penny first released it in 2012, and the ideas it is built on (grief, support, how you handle contact with your ex, getting your days back) are the kind that don't go out of date. You will meet it through a short video. The sales page is Penny's video on "the 5 key principles to getting over your ex and how to be happy again", with the price underneath. Watching it costs nothing, and it gives you a fair sense of her approach before you decide anything. What is inside the book Going by Penny's own list of contents, the book covers: - Why you shouldn't be quick to judge your ex. - Why it is okay to feel sad. - How to recover from the first shock, and why what you do in the first days, weeks and months makes such a difference. - How to brace yourself for the pain that is coming, and how to embrace it rather than bury it. - What a "Breakup Sponsor" is and why you need one. Penny is clear that a sponsor is not a magic pill, but calls that support "worth its weight in gold". - What the five stages of grief are really about, and how to ride out the rollercoaster of emotion. - When contact with your ex is advisable, and when it is not. - Exactly what to do if your ex asks to get back together. Her advice here is to be strong, make a clean break and never settle for second best. - Finding support in other people, and coming to terms with the fact that it really is over. - Daily tips for the rough periods: regaining your self control and avoiding a "sadness rut". - Knowing when it is the right time to love again, overcoming your fears and setting new goals. Running through all of it are a few beliefs Penny holds firmly. You are not at fault for the pain. The pain is real, "mental, emotional and even chemical". Friends who say "just get over it" mean well but are wrong. And if you don't let yourself feel it, you can't be free of it. The two bonuses Two extras come with the book. - Supreme Self Confidence: In Dating, Relationships and Social Situations. An eBook by Slade Shaw (184 pages, according to Penny's original letter) with tips and techniques on self-confidence in your personal life, dating, social situations, your career and relationships. - How To Achieve Mastery of Your Inner Game. A discussion with a dating expert about self-confidence in dating, with tips on dating and relationships. The expert's name is kept as a surprise. Both bonuses lean towards confidence and dating, so they are most useful later on, once the worst is behind you and you are thinking about meeting someone new. In the first raw weeks, the main book is what you will reach for. Who it is for This book suits you if you have accepted, or are starting to accept, that the relationship is over and you want to stop hurting this much. It is written for any kind of ending: a breakup that came as a total surprise, one that was mutual, or one you started yourself. It also fits people whose breakup was a long time ago but who still miss their ex and feel it shaping their life. It particularly suits someone who likes to read, go back over a page, and work through things privately at their own pace. If friends have run out of patience, or you would rather not lean on them every night, a book is there at 2 a.m. when nobody else is. Price is part of the picture too. Penny's own comparison is that it costs far less than a run of therapy sessions or nights at the bar, and "less than the price of a lonely takeout dinner for one". Who it is not for - Anyone hoping to reunite with their ex. This book is about getting over someone, and on the question of an ex asking to come back, Penny's advice is a clean break. If reuniting is your goal, you will be disappointed. - Anyone in crisis right now. If you are thinking about harming yourself or can't get through the day, please call a doctor, a counselor or a local helpline first. A book can come later. - Anyone who wants video lessons or live coaching. This is a written eBook. Apart from the bonus discussion, there are no videos, calls or personal sessions. - Anyone looking for a quick fix. Penny says it herself: there is no magic pill, and getting through a breakup still takes time and effort. The book gives you the steps, and you still have to take them. Price and guarantee Survival After Separation costs $37, as one payment. Your card is charged by ClickBank, which handles the sale, and the order comes with an 8-week (60-day) money-back guarantee. In the order page's words, if you are not satisfied for any reason, you can just send an email and you will be refunded. That guarantee covers your money, not a result. Nobody can promise how quickly you will feel better. What it does mean is that you can read the book, try the steps for two months, and still get your $37 back if it isn't right for you. If you want to see Penny's approach before deciding, her short video on the 5 key principles (AFFILIATE-LINK) is the place to start. The honest downsides - It is reading, and plenty of it. Over 130 pages is a real book, and some people in the first weeks after a breakup can barely concentrate on a text message. - It asks you to do the work. Being gentle with yourself, feeling the pain instead of numbing it, choosing a Breakup Sponsor and deciding about contact are all things you have to act on. - It dates from 2012, and the way it was originally sold was in the loud, excitable style of that time. If big promises put you off, judge the book by its contents and Penny's video rather than the old marketing. - You watch a video before you reach the order page. Some people like that, while others would rather skim text. Verdict: a kind, practical book for people ready to move on Survival After Separation is a sensible and practical book for someone who has lost a relationship and wants a clear path through the hurt. Its strongest points are the ones people most often get wrong on their own: letting yourself feel the loss, not going through it alone, being careful about contact, and knowing in advance what you will do if your ex comes back. At $37 with a 60-day refund window, the risk is small. It is not for someone hoping to reunite, someone who needs urgent help, or someone who wants a coach on the other end of a call. For everyone else, it is a solid place to start. Watch Penny's short video on the 5 key principles to getting over your ex (AFFILIATE-LINK) (As I said at the top, that is my affiliate link.)
