“A relationship expert whose work is like that of a scientific Carrie Bradshaw.” —THE OBSERVER
A self-affirming, holistic guide for everyone—single or married, divorced or dating—to transforming heartbreak into healing by the founder of the innovative and revolutionary Renew Breakup Bootcamp
Amy Chanhit rock bottom when she discovered that her boyfriend cheated on her. Although she was angry and broken-hearted, Chan soon came to realize that the breakup was the shakeup she needed to redirect her life. Instead of descending into darkness, she used the pain of the breakup as a bridge to self-actualization.
She devoted herself to learning various healing modalities from the ancient to the scientific and dived into the psychology of love. It worked. Fast forward years later, Amy completely transformed her life, her relationships and founded a breakup bootcamp helping countless women heal their hearts.
In Breakup Bootcamp, Amy Chan directs her experience as a relationship columnist and as the creator of Renew Breakup Bootcamp into a practical, thoughtful guide to turning broken hearts into an opportunity to break out of complacency and destructive habits. Dubbed "the Chief Heart Hacker," Amy Chan grounds her practical advice and tried and tested methods rooted in cutting edge psychology and research, helping first her bootcamp attendees and now her readers most effectively heal and reclaim their self-love.
Breakup Bootcamp comes at the perfect time, when many are feeling the intensity of being in or out of a relationship, lonely or suffocated, and flirting with old toxic relationships they’ve outgrown. Relatable, life-changing, and backed by sound scientific research, Breakup Bootcamp can help anyone turn their greatest heartbreak into a powerful tool for growth.
AMY CHAN doesn’t just write about love―she rewrites the way we approach it. For nearly two decades, she’s been a trusted voice on modern relationships, evolving from a dating columnist into one of today’s most influential experts. In 2016, she launched Renew Breakup Bootcamp, a retreat blending psychology and neuroscience to help people heal from heartbreak. She also leads Dating Bootcamp and teaches at the Esalen Institute, guiding people in developing the skills for healthy, lasting love. Her debut book, Breakup Bootcamp, was featured in
