Book recommendations?

Does anyone have any book recommendations for people a couple of years after divorce, stable but still healing? Maybe covering dating, boundaries, learning to trust (and trust yourself!)?

Someone mentioned "the science of happily ever after", that's on my list.

I've thought about getting "not just friends", but I wonder if it's applicable to someone who's divorced and not looking to R.

Thanks!

I'm the one who recommended The Science of Happily Ever After. I wish it could be mandatory for all single people to read!

Not a book, but there's a great article that if you google "The Atlantic Masters of Love" you can find. I reread it about once a year, have recommended it to dozens of people in real life (and every one of them has thanked me for it.)

Me: BW, divorced, now fabulous and happy!

I loved “getting naked again” by Judith Stills and “if you’re in my office it’s already too late” by James Sexton. Both fun reads and had interesting thoughts.

Me: BS
He cheated and then lied. Apparently cheaters lie. Huh. 13 months of false R. Divorced! 8/16 3 teenage kids

I started the science of happily ever after, I'm only on chapter 2 but good so far!

I'm going to start a topic for everyone's 3 wishes in general.
