How We Break: Navigating the Wear and Tear of Living

How We Break, the second installment in the How to Live trilogy, explores the common ways in which human beings become stuck, such as trauma, anxiety, and despair, emphasizing that these setbacks are a natural part of being human. Drawing on insights from neuroscience, psychotherapy, and cultural practices, the book examines how our automatic habits and social environments shape our experiences of breaking and healing. It sets the stage for the final installment, How We Mend, which focuses on deliberate change and recovery.
