Description
Take the High Road: Divorce with Compassion for Yourself and Your Family is a game-changing guide to divorce, replacing old battleground tactics with practical, “do-able” strategies that can work for any couples navigating the stressful emotional, logistical, legal and financial challenges. With more than half of today’s marriages ending in divorce, this “manual of best practices for getting through one of life’s more difficult transitions,” as one marriage and family therapist called it, will be a welcome resource for people to read and re-read before, during and after divorce.
Unlike divorce books by attorneys or mental health professionals, this accessible guide comes from businessman Andy Heller, who interviewed scores of couples before writing the book he wished he had as he struggled through his own divorce. To him, to intentionally take the high road means “learning to let some things go, fostering forgiveness when possible, and incorporating empathy into actions that affect your former life partner.”
With experts’ tips, real-life stories, and practical strategies, Take the High Road provides a less travelled route that can heal hearts, prepare for the future, and, most importantly, nurture the children. While saving money and time is not the book’s primary goal, without question, this game plan can save thousands of dollars in the legal process as well as shorten the months or years couples spend fighting. It’s a roadmap for a better life journey.

Wish I had this kind of guide with me when I was going through my divorce several years ago. Andy has a way of cutting through the noise... and there’s often so much noise... to offer blunt practical actionable sometimes highly counter intuitive advice for people going through this uniquely disruptive disorienting time in their lives. . That said, honestly, what permeates more quietly more powerfully throughout this book are navigation tools insights for any couple, married or otherwise, thats simply literally trying to keep it all together.

Very practical recommendations on how to navigate a divorce… I love that the author has consulted with professionally licensed therapists. A must read for anyone going through a divorce!

This book is a must-read. It's a blueprint guide for anyone considering or initiating a divorce. Reading these tips helped me through the difficult early stages of the divorce process.

“Divorce can be hell, but with good friends and good advice, your life can move forward with dignity and happiness can return. Supportive friends during your time of need are a blessing, but the advice they offer is not always what you need. Unless they have walked in your shoes, friends advice too often focuses on “fighting back”, “payback time”, and “getting what’s yours.” Author Andy Heller has walked in your shoes and in my shoes. The Glass Half-Full Divorce is like talking to a wise friend. The good counsel found in these pages reminds us to not loose our sense of humanity and empathy for yourself, for your children and for the person you need to learn to co-parent with.”

The book you shared with me, wow… probably the most helpful self-help book I have ever read! Some of the tips offered have been absolutely instrumental in helping me get through my divorce, especially with issues involving kids. This book is a must-read for anyone thinking about or going through a divorce. Thank you Andy for such a helpful road map.

I’ve been a family therapist for a really long time. Over those years, I have come to understand how breaking up a marriage often feels to the people living through it, like being a stranger in a strange land.
If you are holding this book in your hand because it caught your attention, you should buy it…. If you did pick it up, you need to think about why, and be honest with yourself.
I think of it as a manual of best practices for getting through one of life’s more difficult transitions. He makes many very practical suggestions that reflect his personal experience and the results of a series of conversations he’s had with others. Let him be your guide.
