The title of this book is quite misleading. Although the advice can be appropriately applied to healing from the breakdown of romantic relationships, it is none the less entirely applicable to all connections. The book focuses on the healing process needed to find peace after hurt.
I bought this on a whim a long while ago after watching Stephan's videos. It is only recently I have made the effort to finish this book so my perspective is from someone who has already extensively worked through the healing process. Nonetheless I found the book useful from a restrospective standpoint.
The book is very easy to read and the excercises are very considered and useful. I recognise Stephan's thought process from a person centred approach to counselling in which a person is encouraged to heal from their past in order to achieve self-actualisation. This book is essentially a workbook of how to achieve this - It is only when we heal and become our true selves that we can find and grow healthy relationships with others.
I would recommend this to anyone who is feeling lost and can't pin point why, or anyone who is struggling with trusting others after hurt from a partner/close friend/ family member.
This book does not tell you how to find love as the title suggests but it does a great job of outlining the process of self-love and acceptance, therefore opening the door to true connection with others.

This book was very timely. God has been dealing with me on the subject of forgiveness. This book gives you tools on how to forgive, the definition of forgiveness, and what it truly looks like. He also delves into how not to deal with heartbreak and breaks down the cycle of "hurt people, hurt people." It took me a bit longer to get through this book. At times, I felt it to be a bit monotonous. However, the information and tools were on point as usual. I wish I could have done this along with the "Healing Heartbreak Journal," but I didn't have it before starting the book. I may still purchase it though.

I'm making my way through Stephan's catalogue and the great thing about this book and the two others i'll list below as well as separately si that it's for both men and women!
I've found that just when you think you are "grown" life throws you a curve ball and it doesn't hurt to take a refresher course or learn some new coping skills for rejuvenating your spirit or renewing your ability or even learning to build healthy relationships and love yourself!
I actually read this book in conjunction with two others (Healing Heartbreak Journal and Daily Affirmations for Healing - a Love after heartbreak Companion book) ...
Whatever stage of life you're in- there are gems in these books for us all! Stephan shares real life situations even some of his own to show that no one is above needing to re-assess how they do things at any point in their journey.
Sometimes messages like these hit us better when we take time to read, digest and assess ourselves in private as we know our truth! Enjoy getting to know you better and growing with the help of Stephan's guidance.
Not a long read - 186 pages and definitely the type of knowledge that can be kept for refreshers at any point in life...Happy Healing!

Finding Love Within Yourself
I think this book makes an important point to highlight the internal groundwork one should go through after a breakup or any situation that may have broke you. Essentially its a self-help book that focuses on the steps or suggestions of focusing on yourself before jumping into a next relationship or career or anything that may have not worked out before. Although he repeats certain points and it is a fast read. The message he delivers people can relate to. He does touch upon Christianity and prayer but he's not preaching for everyone to advocate to this religion specifically but more to get in touch with your spirituality. My favorite part in this book is "Hurt People, Hurt People", which basically means people after they go threw hurtful circumstances not all but many try to jump into the next relationship or opportunity without really thinking as to why or what happened so they can avoid the pain they feel, then they project it onto others and the cycle continues. This book is not for everyone I saw plenty of the reviews before reading, both positive and negative. My opinion is that he is on the right track with the message he wants to deliver to his audience. He is currently working on Volume II, for those that are seeking relationship advice, when their ready to date or find love this is not the book to read, this advice will probably be in Volume II. But since it is part I and its a fast read, I think it's best to read both in order to understand the full picture. Thank you to the author for providing insight.

I’ve been following Stephan work for years, however I find this book disappointing. I’ve read 200 pages just to know that I should write letters. The exercise is good but he over explains it and in the end there’s nothing more other that reflections about the healing process.

Life After Heartbreak is an emotionally mature, grounded guide for anyone navigating life after the end of a deeply intertwined relationship. Rather than rushing the reader toward “moving on,” Stephen Labossiere invites reflection—on identity, growth, and the quiet rebuilding that happens when you begin living life on your own terms again.
What makes this book powerful is its balance of compassion and accountability. It honors the pain of having your life woven together with another person—and the grief of separating—while also helping you extract meaning, wisdom, and strength from the experience. The focus isn’t blame or regret, but learning: who you were, who you became, and who you now have the opportunity to be.
This book feels like a steady hand on your back, reminding you that heartbreak doesn’t mark the end of your story—it clarifies it. A thoughtful read for anyone ready to create their best life after loss, with intention and self-respect.

As other reviews have said, the title feels a little misleading, and I hoped the content would be more related to heartbreak as in romantic heartbreak, as it suggests.
The book focused entirely on Stephan's healing method which can be applied to any hurt/trauma, however myself having been to therapy, I personally had already done this. I found his videos on heartbreak a lot more helpful.
The book was easy to read and would be fitting for someone who is processing their trauma for the first time.

Book had a lot of redundancies and veered off topic in some parts. A good edit would have made it succinct, comprehensive, less circuitous.
I agree with other reviewers: The title is misleading. This is a book about healing, not readying for romance post-heartbreak. Despite the book’s title, the author reveals toward the end that the “finding love” angle isn’t the aim. That’s tackled in another book.
Plot twist aside, the book has some worthy though unoriginal tips that I intend to put into use.

This is a really great book. The methods are very straightforward, hence making easy to apply, if you seriously crave healing and change. You'll feel a calm sense of healing entering your body within the first few chapters. In addition, I've been watching the Stephan Speaks channel on YouTube since I began reading this book. Mr. Labossiere is a very knowledgeable individual when it comes to healing, loving yourself, and finding love.

Stephan Labossiere's amazing work days it all. He is a fantastic author and very knowledgeable in relationships. Love After Heartbreak is about healing ourselves and get to the deeper roots of our emotional pains. We need to acknowledge what really hurt us to understand why we made the choices and mistakes we would do for love.

The “Who Hurt Me” exercise alone, is worth the price of the book.
The exercise mentioned above is worth the price of the book. It’s act of healing to feel and release all your emotions. It’s truly helping me close several open energy loops and bring myself current to be present in the now. I highly suggest his Daily Affirmations for Healing as well.

Wonderful tool for your healing journey
Simply writen but incredibly powerful. The author really breaks down the steps of the healing process and gives you homework to do to help you move forward. Highly recommend to anyone struggling with a hurt heart trying to heal and move forward.

I'm healing
For so long I believed I was healed... However, I realized I am not. But, the real process has started and I'm going to complete it. This book made me reevaluate my current toxic relationship and see it for what it is . Thank God for your insight and willingness to follow your purpose and help others heal.

Life-changing
It is a profound but easy-to-read book for anyone looking to heal the hurt from others and themselves. I think this book is equivalent to in-depth therapy and can really bring values to your life and help fix your mental health issues that you didn’t even realize they were there.

Great book in learning how to heal after heartbreak. This book is not just from a love relationship. It’s healing from everyone who has hurt you in your past.
Worth the read and worth the time to do the work to heal.

Relatable + insightful just like the authors videos, great exercises throughout that focus on healing, love the forgiveness letters, reframing thinking, and more. Felt shifts daily + continue to. You get what you put into it. 100% recommend.

So it's not as the title reads. It's really about healing from past hurts. The exercise is about writing and sending letters to those you determined hurt you. Not really what I was anticipating or possible to attain if those people were deceased. Not helpful.

Not the right book for me. I didn't connect with the letter writing process. Passed onto a friend who I think would get more out of it.
