Dr. Govind has done a great job by writing this book in a storytelling form which will keep the readers hooked to the book.  This is a story of Ajay, Karan and Nisha who are lost in their lives due the hardships they have faced in their love life and they are sent to Doctor Dev's clinic.

At Doctor Dev's clinic, Karan, Ajay and Nisha are assigned some tasks and given therapy sessions, affirmations to repeat and exercises to help them. With the help of psychoanalysis, doctors tried to bring out the hidden emotions from the unconscious mind to the consciousness, and enable the ego to deal directly with these emotions. All these three participants comes face to face with their true self which was lost somewhere in their journey of life because of the stressful situation like break-up. In the recovery process, they realise their struggles and they also discover about their inner strengths which gives them new hope to fresh start their lives. Wit the help of the break-up clinic and the efforts on self-improvement by these three people, helped them in leading a happy and productive lives! The book comes with a message that we only live once, but if we do it right then once is enough!

When we are going through a break-up it is very easy to fall in severe stress but it takes a little courage to pull ourselves out of the dark and stressful situations. The recovery, the healing, everything takes time but we need to remain patient with ourselves. The role of the care-givers or loved ones like family is very important in this process. The will-power to actually get better for us and our loved ones, always helps! We must first learn to be grateful in life for all the people and things we have and we must never forget to develop the best relationship, that we have with ourselves. In simple words, feelings of self-love, self-compassion and self-improvement matters a lot.

RATING: 5/5 STARS
