Heartbreak can hit anyone. It makes us lonely, disconnected and creates a sense of grief. Nobody denies that it’s tough. Dr. Guy Winch is a psychologist, author and podcast host whose TED Talks have tallied up millions of views. He’s got the toolkit to help you beat the break-up blues.

We hear a lot about ‘mental health’, but Guy emphasises the importance of something a little different: ‘emotional health’. These are feelings all of us have experienced. Think failure, loneliness, rejection and heartbreak. 

In this conversation, Guy Winch will tell you how to develop your emotional health and practice better emotional hygiene.
