“In The Divorce Recovery Workbook, Rye and Moore provide an excellent applied workbook for you if you’ve been dealing with the loss of a marriage or long-term relationship. In fact, as I read the manuscript, I could not help but think that the workbook could help deal with many losses, not just divorce. It adapts evidence-based interventions from positive psychology—forgiveness of self and others, gratitude, benefit-finding, happiness, mindfulness, meaning-finding, and self-compassion—into dealing with your loss. It is a wonderful adaptation of respected scholarship so that you can benefit by it.”
