What people are saying

Praise for this book

"I devoured A Manual for Heartache in one sitting . . . a kind, honest and wise book about how to make a friend of sadness." --Rachel Joyce, author, The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry

"A book that could change the life of someone whose hands it finds its way into at the right moment. I wish I could go back and give it to my younger self at various points in my own life. A copy should be issued to every teenager in school . . . It delivers that most important of messages: You are not alone." --Alice Adams, author, Invincible Summer
"In clear and warm fashion, Rentzenbrink has written a lovely, simple book about how to cope with life's bumps and shocks and sadnesses. There is a lot of intelligence here--it brims with it--but it is presented in such an informal way that it always has the feel of someone sitting by your bedside, rather than standing behind a lectern. . . . One of her tips, as an avid book lover, is to read "gentle, comforting, funny things" and that is what she herself is offering here. Not just a comfort in the advice she offers, but in the reassuring way she is choosing to offer it." --Guardian
