Packed with research, insights, and illuminating (and often funny) examples from Paris&;s own divorce experience, this book is a &;practical and reassuring guide to parting well.&; &;Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project
Engaging and revolutionary, filled with wit, searing honesty, and intimate interviews, Splitopia is a call for a saner, more civil kind of divorce. As Paris reveals, divorce has improved dramatically in recent decades due to changes in laws and family structures, advances in psychology and child development, and a new understanding of the importance of the father. Positive psychology expert and author of Happier, Tal Ben-Shahar, writes that Paris&;s &;personal insights, stories, and research&; create &;a smart and interesting guide that can be extremely helpful for those going through divorce.&;
Reading this book can be the difference between an expensive, ugly battle and a decent divorce, between children sucked under by conflict or happy, healthy kids. This is &;a compelling case that it&;s high time for a new definition of Happily Ever After&;for everyone&; (Brigid Schulte, author of Overwhelmed: Work, Love, and Play When No One Has the Time).
