Summary

Zibby is joined by science journalist Florence Williams to talk about her latest book, Heartbreak. Florence shares how she was inspired to research heartbreaks following the sudden end of her marriage, as well as the adventures and experiences she partook in to learn why heartbreak affects us the way it does and how we can move on from it. Florence and Zibby also talk about the current research on loneliness, the power of the A.W.E. method, and why forging and fortifying meaningful connections can be the best cure for a broken heart.
