An audio guidebook for discovering how heartbreak can become the doorway to profound meaning and joy from the bestselling co-creator of the Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff Series

In 2006, after building the bestselling franchise Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff with her husband Richard, Kristine Carlson faced a shattering loss—the sudden death of her beloved spouse. Woven together with the remarkable stories of others’ loss and recovery, her deeply moving story reveals a clear process of healing that is common to everyone and goes far beyond ordinary prescriptions for getting through hard times. In her new audiobook, From Heartbreak to Wholeness, Kristine offers a life-altering map for navigating the heroic journey from loss to joy—one that ultimately awakens readers to a deep love affair with life.

Every day, people suffer heartbreaks of some kind—loss of a loved one, divorce, illness, loss of a job or home—and seek to understand why these losses and traumas have befallen them and how they’ll make it through in one piece. For listeners who have endured loss of any kind, Kristine takes them by the hand, showing them how to traverse their own jagged edge of growth and emerge as the hero whole, happy, and empowered.

Each chapter of From Heartbreak to Wholeness includes powerful exercises in self-inquiry and reflection, along with step-by-step guidance for writing one’s own heroic story of healing.

Journey with Kristine Carlson and learn how you can walk the path from heartbreak to wholeness.

Such an empowering perspective

I loved this book. So thankful to the author for such an authentically written book detailing her pain and how she transformed it into growth. Such a refreshing way to look at life rather than resigning ones' self to victim hood in the face of heartbreak/grief. Thank you Kristine! I will read/listen to this book over and over again.

Wonderfully Healing!

Kristine Carlson presents a wonderful perspective about loss as it changes us into a new life, whether it is after losing a spouse (as she did) or child, as well as loss through divorce or betrayals. It is beautifully uplifting. Her own narration adds a sense of authenticity, hearing her own voice speak of the worst and best experiences.

I was drawn to this book because of my familiarity with Joseph Campbell's brilliant "Hero's Journey" as well as my loss of my husband eighteen months ago. The audio book has a PDF workbook to aid in answering personal questions as a means to figure out your own path.

I highly recommend!

Beautiful look into Devine love and healing

Well written look into a journey we can all benefit from. Not only for the loss of a loved one but for any loss at all. The author is open and honest about her path which makes the book so relatable, and the reader can feel the caring she put into sharing the wisdom she has learned along the way. Love that it is in her own voice. My hope is that everyone who needs to hear this message somehow finds this book. I have already gifted it to two others before even reaching the end. So many parts to love and the editing is perfection.
Thank you to those involved for sharing so intimately.

It help me heal

I enjoyed the book and it is helping me in my healing. It helps me to understand life beyond the physical and accept that the love of my life is physically not here but will always he here in spirit

Against my morality

I love the beginning of the book. After the author recommended u slept with one whom u r not married to will not heal u. I won't recommend this book.. Just surrendered ur sadness to God, God will heal us not man.
