Heartbreak: A Personal and Scientific Journey by Florence Williams
5.0
I'm very happy with the 2nd book published in 2022 that I accidentally picked on for the same year.
This book is essentially a memoir, where the author records her emotional journey after getting a divorce from her decades long marriage, but it is no boring memoir. The author is a scientist and the way she has sought for knowledge, understanding, and methods around the worst human experience and how to heal from it is also very eye-opening and bringing in a sense of relief. As the author got in contact with many researchers, scientists, ... to clarify important topics like the human attachments, human healths when we face things like heartbreaks, grief, losses, and how we can move on, I believe the memoir will serve a mass audience, since science is not biased. Lastly, the author write beautifully and her attitude, as well as her gorgeous adventures will bring your imagination far. I also especially like how each chapter is named and assigned nice quotes to it. After reading the book, you understand that the world is constantly changing but, it is also beautiful and you have enough courage to welcome and even expect all the uncertainties and changes. Since heartbreaks are a universal experience, pick up the book if you have been living on this Earth for quite some time and want to understand more about such a profound emotion, yet rarely been researched and talked about.
