"Marital strife and divorce often tear families apart, but it doesn't have to be that way. Better Apart shows how instead they can be opportunities to exercise mindfulness and a deep understanding that change, while difficult, can put the struggling couple and their family on a path towards more harmonious lives"--,Provided by publisher.

"What if you emerged from your divorce stronger and more resilient than ever before? While many of us may be better together, some can actually become better apart. Marital strife and divorce can be your chance to profoundly transform yourself, your mindset, and your relationship with a more harmonious and steady vision. Better Apart is the first book to combine the life-changing, healing wisdom of meditation and yoga with practical advice aimed at helping anyone going through the painful and seemingly intractable realities of divorce. Gabrielle Hartley and Elena Brower are warm and caring guides who can help you compassionately detach from your partner. Whether your separation is amicable or your ex is combative, Better Apart can help you find peace, calm, and hope. Blending actionable advice from a legal perspective together with spiritual wisdom, Gabrielle and Elena are experts and realists who have created a simple five-step process that uses effective meditations, perspective-shifting exercises, and fresh suggestions to help navigate the common legal and emotional pitfalls of divorce. Don't worry if you've never tried yoga or mediation; Gabrielle's insights buttressed by Elena's lessons are accessible for all. Together they show you how to meaningfully shift your perspectives and move forward though any--or all--parts of this emotionally fraught process. Better Apart radically reframes the way couples experience, execute, and recover when "for better or worse" is no longer an option and help you find the road to a new mindset and better life."--Dust jacket.
