Daily Survival Guide For Divorced Men

Dale J. Brown, PhD, will never forget the day his wife left him. Her declaration caught Brown off guard. Suddenly he was just a statistic: another divorced man. In the dark days that followed, Brown felt alone and bereft of meaning. At his lowest point, he considered suicide. Fortunately, he reached out to his good friend Ken, a psychotherapist. With Ken's help-and insistence that Brown not be alone at this time-Brown found his intense agony abating. But he still had much grief to process. Brown is not alone. Men who are separated or divorced have a rate of suicide nearly 40 percent higher than that of married men, and even those who do not attempt suicide can feel sad, lonely, and helpless. Despite the pressing need evinced by this group, Brown found few resources to help men cope with the emotions brought about by divorce. So Brown wrote the book he wished he'd had when his own marriage ended. Full of spiritual wisdom and practical advice, Daily Survival Guide for Divorced Men offers comfort and encouragement for men experiencing divorce. Readers of this book will find that they are not alone-and they can thrive even after divorce.

Packed with research, insights, and illuminating (and often funny) examples from Paris’s own divorce experience, this book is a “practical and reassuring guide to parting well.” —Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project Engaging and revolutionary, filled with wit, searing honesty, and intimate interviews, Splitopia is a call for a saner, more civil kind of divorce. As Paris reveals, divorce has improved dramatically in recent decades due to changes in laws and family structures, advances in psychology and child development, and a new understanding of the importance of the father. Positive psychology expert and author of Happier, Tal Ben-Shahar, writes that Paris’s “personal insights, stories, and research” create “a smart and interesting guide that can be extremely helpful for those going through divorce.” Reading this book can be the difference between an expensive, ugly battle and a decent divorce, between children sucked under by conflict or happy, healthy kids. This is “a compelling case that it’s high time for a new definition of Happily Ever After—for everyone” (Brigid Schulte, author of Overwhelmed: Work, Love, and Play When No One Has the Time).
