Heartbreak and Healing

Hugh Taft-Morales

Leader, Philadelphia Ethical Society

Caring deeply about other people, a community, or a project, is part of living a good life. But in our unpredictable world it also can lead to heartbreak, a form of suffering with distinctive mental, physical, and emotional characteristics. How is heartbreak framed in our relationships and in our culture? What does science tell us about this debilitating, but ultimately conquerable pain? To answer those questions, Hugh will discuss the new book Heartbreak: A Personal and Scientific Journey, by science writer Florence Williams.
