Breakup Bootcamp

Amy Chan's relationship life hit a low when she learned her boyfriend had been unfaithful. Hurt and furious, she chose not to sink into despair and instead treated the split as a turning point. She set out to understand love and heartbreak, studying healing practices from ancient traditions through to modern science, and over time she rebuilt her own life and relationships. That experience led her to create Renew Breakup Bootcamp, which has supported many women through their heartbreak.

Drawing on her work as a relationship columnist and on her bootcamp, Chan offers a practical, reflective guide for anyone dealing with a breakup, whether they are single or married, divorced or dating. The book shows readers how to use heartbreak as a chance to step out of comfortable routines and harmful patterns. Her methods, which she calls the work of the "Chief Heart Hacker," are grounded in current psychology and research, and they aim to help readers heal and rebuild their sense of self-worth.

The book speaks to the common feelings of being stuck in a relationship, feeling lonely or smothered, or being tempted to return to a toxic partner one has already moved past. Its approach is intended to be relatable and encouraging, offering a way to turn even the hardest breakup into a source of personal growth.
