About the author

Lisa Messenger is the vibrant, game-changing founder, CEO and editor-in-chief of Collective Hub. She launched Collective Hub as a print magazine in 2013, with no experience in an industry that people said was either dead or dying. Collective Hub has since grown into an international multimedia business and lifestyle platform with multiple verticals across print, digital, events and education – all of which serve to ignite human potential.

Five years and 52 issues into the print magazine Lisa made the courageous move to “break” the very thing that she started – the print magazine – enabling her to take some time and space to evolve into the next iteration and again disrupt… watch this space.

Lisa is an international speaker, best-selling author, and an authority on disruption in both the corporate sector and the start-up scene. Lisa’s experience in publishing has seen her produce over 400 custom-published books for companies and individuals as well as having authored and co-authored 24 herself.

Most notably, Lisa chartered her ride to success with her bestselling book Daring & Disruptive: Unleashing the Entrepreneur and its sequels Life & Love: Creating the Dream, which reached number-one on Booktopia; Money & Mindfulness: Living in Abundance, that shot to best-selling status within the first month; Breakups & Breakthroughs: Turn an Ending Into a Beginning and Purpose soon followed.

Her passion is to challenge individuals and corporations to get out of their comfort zones, find their purpose, change the way they think, and to prove there’s more than one way to do anything. She encourages creativity, innovation, and an entrepreneurial spirit, and lives life to the absolute max. Most mornings she wakes up and pinches herself at how incredible her life is, but is also acutely aware and honest about life’s bumps and tumbles along the way.

With fans including Sir Richard Branson and New York Times best-selling author Bradley Trevor Greive, and a loyal fan base, Lisa’s vision is to build a community of like-minded people who want to change the world.

This book was absolutely fantastic... anybody going through self development whether they are separating or not should read it. It's a good reminder to those who need it to take a little time for yourself, and give yourself a break.

This book is incredibly beautifully presented, and is filled with lots of lovely tips for self-care. It has a very positive and optimistic outlook on new beginnings and seeing opportunities in change. That said, it won't help with the day to day realities of money, children, property and so forth, but the author does not promise that it will. I think that it is a beautiful and positive gift to give a friend who is feeling like shit after a break-up, to remind them that they are worth something nice, and to give them a few pointers for concentrating on themselves and behaving gracefully whilst being dumped.

Lots of inspirational insights. It's all about perspective and choice of actions. Great ideas for distractions and activities for your breakup journey. Choose your own life, choose love, choose to smile ☺

This book is really, really, ridiculously good-looking. But apart from its gorgeous pages, it's filled with lots of beautiful and wise advice for anyone going through a rough time in life. Love it. <3

I've decided I love Lisa Messenger and her perspective of the world. This book would have been perfect for me earlier in the year but now I feel like I've moved on enough to not garner as much from it as I could. I still was able to take a lot away from it which prooves its goodness.

Is not only for break-up, is really helpful if you understand each rule deeply.

[Nhung Vo · Rating 5 out of 5]

Everyone needs a copy of this. It is filled with self care, self love, great ideas and lots of positivity and healthy and helpful strategies.

[Kate · Rating 5 out of 5]

Easy to read, lots of practical advice which is really relatable if you’ve been through a break up. Moreso written if someone has left you though rather than if you’ve left them.

Gorgeous images and sound general ideas.

I am currently going through a marriage breakup and found this beautifully composed book a great reminder about the importance of self care. Of course it doesn't solve all the issues but gives great advice and gorgeous quotes and pictures that help you to see a light at the end of a very dark tunnel. Thank you Lisa for writing such a wonderful book to help others.

Better than her previous book that I read (money and mindset) in my opinion; however, I felt that the book was mainly written for females. it seems that women are only get dumped and it's not the other way around at all.
on the bright side, there are good tips that they are really useful.
