What if you emerged from your divorce stronger and more resilient than ever before? While many of us may be better together, some can actually become better apart. Marital strife and divorce can be your chance to profoundly transform yourself, your mindset, and your relationship with a more harmonious and steady vision. Better Apart is the first book to combine practical advice and legal wisdom with the life-changing, healing power of meditation and yoga aimed at helping anyone going through the painful and seemingly intractable realities of divorce.

Gabrielle Hartley and Elena Brower are warm and caring guides who can help you compassionately detach from your partner. Whether your separation is amicable or your ex is combative, Better Apart can help you find peace, calm, and hope. Gabrielle and Elena are experts and realists who created a simple five-step process that uses effective mediations, perspective-shifting exercises, and fresh suggestions to help navigate the common legal and emotional pitfalls of divorce. Don’t worry if you’ve never tried yoga or mediation: Gabrielle’s insight buttressed by Elena’s lessons are accessible for all. Together, they show you how to meaningfully shift your perspectives and to move forward though any—or all—parts of this emotionally fraught process whether you’re in mediation or you find yourself in high-conflict litigation.

Better Apart radically reframes the way couples experience, execute, and recover when "for better or worse" is no longer an option, and helps you find the road to a better life.
