Overview
So, you just got dumped, huh? Or did you just dump someone? Doesnāt matter who ended it. Either way, youāre sleeping alone tonight.
But donāt worry, youāre not really alone. HITRECORDās global community of over 750,000 active artists is here to help with The Art of Breaking Up, a new book designed to get you through this trying time.
Thatās over 750,000 people who know the soul-crushing pain of a broken heart. But instead of wallowing forever in vats of unproductive (but delicious) cookie dough, theyāve channeled all that misery into an insightful, funny, and smart compendium of musings, photography, drawings, collages, puzzles, recipes, games, and moreādesigned to explore (and distract from) the mind-numbing agony of a romantic breakup. Youāll laugh, youāll smile, and youāll probably cry.
Everyone knows there are two sides to every break-up, so this book features a double-sided, flippable structure. One side eases the tortured consciences of the HEARTBREAKERS. Flip the book, and the other side considers the plight of the BROKEN-HEARTED.
Both sides are organized chronologically with chapters that correspond to the emotional trajectory of both the HEARTBREAKER and BROKEN-HEARTED. Chapters include: Early Warning Signs, Exit Strategy, The Break Up, Acceptance, Depression, Bargaining, Anger, and Denial. Where the two sections meet in the middle there is a compelling, heart-wrenching moment where the HEARTBREAKER and BROKEN-HEARTED connect again, but weāre not giving that away.
Inside this book youāll find plenty of art, stories, comics, and other amusements, such as a Post-Break-Up Relationship Survey, Denial Yoga, Candy Hearts for Assholes, Breakup Greeting Cards, Hex Your Ex Voodoo Doll, The Free Bird Word Search Game, and a playlist or two, including "Right Back at Ya," a collection of songs to stoke the burning rage in your heart.
Everything youāll find in this book was made collaboratively by people from around the world on HITRECORDāan online creative platform for collaborative art and media projects founded and directed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
With its universal, all-inclusive approach to the subject, The Art of Breaking Up is an acute observation of love and heartbreak in modern times, and maybeājust maybeāa salve for anyone with a broken heart.
