A note from the author of Heartbreak: A Personal and Scientific Journey, Florence Williams.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When her twenty-five-year marriage unexpectedly falls apart, journalist Florence Williams expects the loss to hurt. What she doesn’t expect is that she’ll end up in the hospital, examining close-up the way our cells listen to loneliness. She travels to the frontiers of the science of “social pain” to learn why heartbreak hurts so much and why so much of the conventional wisdom about it is wrong.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
