Let’s be real—when a relationship ends, most of the advice out there just doesn’t connect with men. Some say you need to open up, others tell you to move on, but almost nobody gives a real blueprint you can follow. After seeing too many men lost in the aftermath of heartbreak, it became clear that what actually helps isn’t just talking about feelings or distracting yourself. The right self-help book doesn’t just talk—it pushes you to take action and transform your mindset, habits, and life.
Forget That B*tch is one of those rare books that doesn’t waste your time with empty platitudes. Instead, it gives men a clear, honest, step-by-step approach to moving forward. Whether you’re newly single, divorced, or struggling to break the pattern of obsessing over your ex, the strategies from this book have made all the difference for the men I’ve worked with. Here’s what makes this book stand out, what it teaches, and how the accompanying 12-week workbook helps turn reading into real, lasting change.
Why Most Breakup Books Miss the Mark for Men
A lot of books and advice out there assume that the answer to heartbreak is endless talking, group therapy, or getting back out there before you’re ready. But men usually need something more actionable. Forget That B*tch is direct, practical, and built on the hard truths of how attraction and respect really work. Instead of focusing on “winning her back,” the book pushes you to focus on yourself, your confidence, and your life.
One guy, Jeff, told me he read three other books before picking up Forget That B*tch. He said the difference was immediate—finally, someone was honest about what actually works. No sugarcoating, just straight-up reality checks and a path forward. Jeff used the daily exercises in the workbook and within weeks, he stopped checking his ex’s social media and started feeling excitement about his future again.
Understanding Why It’s Important to Move On
The biggest hurdle most men face after a breakup is the urge to fix what’s already ended. You might find yourself analyzing every conversation or searching for ways to “prove” your worth. Forget That B*tch explains why this is wasted effort. Instead of obsessing over what went wrong, the book challenges you to accept that her perception is set—and that it’s time to start investing that energy in yourself.
A client named Adam spent months trying to change his ex’s mind. Nothing worked, and he ended up feeling more frustrated and powerless. After reading the first few chapters of Forget That B*tch, something clicked: it wasn’t about her anymore, it was about him. The moment he let go of that old hope, he found real relief and finally started rebuilding his confidence.
The No Contact Rule: Your Reset Button
A lot of guys resist the idea of cutting off communication, but Forget That B*tch makes it clear—no contact is the only way to fully reset. The urge to check in, text, or follow her social media is just a trap that keeps you stuck in the past. One man, Trevor, struggled with this for months, thinking he could stay “friends” and eventually win her back. After fully committing to no contact (and leaning on the workbook for daily prompts), he found freedom he didn’t think was possible.
Why Obsession Doesn’t Help—And What Does
Every man who goes through a breakup feels some combination of anger, sadness, and confusion. That’s normal. But obsessing over your ex isn’t about her—it’s about your self-worth. Forget That B*tch helps you understand why you keep looping back to the past and how to break free by focusing on your goals. Matt, a guy who reached out after reading the book, said he was finally able to let go after years of feeling “stuck” because the exercises forced him to redirect his attention away from what he couldn’t control.
Self-Improvement Over Self-Pity
One of the strongest themes in Forget That B*tch is using the pain of a breakup as fuel for real self-improvement. That means getting out of your comfort zone, developing new routines, and working on yourself for you—not for anyone else. Steve, who had lost motivation after a tough divorce, started using the workbook’s challenges to push himself to try new things. He got back in shape, reconnected with old friends, and rediscovered hobbies he’d abandoned. The book and workbook combination made progress feel real, not just theoretical.
Why Trying to Fix the Past Holds You Back
A common trap men fall into after a relationship ends is thinking they can somehow go back and rewrite history. Forget That B*tch spells out why this never works—her perception of you is set, and any attempt to “prove” you’ve changed just puts you in a weaker position. When Dan tried to reconcile with his ex, it only made things worse. It wasn’t until he learned to focus on himself that things started improving. The workbook helped him draw boundaries and keep his attention on his own goals instead of old wounds.
Getting Back Into Dating—But This Time, For You
Dating after a breakup is intimidating, but the book doesn’t tell you to rush. Instead, Forget That B*tch teaches men to set standards and be honest about what they want. When the time is right, you’ll find you’re drawn to better matches because you’ve done the work on yourself first. Sam, who’d stayed single for almost a year, started dating again only when he felt truly ready—he credits the workbook for helping him feel confident and calm on first dates.
Building Real Confidence
Forget That B*tch hammers home the idea that confidence comes from action. The 12-week workbook is especially powerful here, providing daily steps to rebuild your self-esteem and start feeling in control again. It’s not about faking confidence, it’s about seeing progress in the real world. Alex, who once thought he’d never feel like himself again, used the workbook to rebuild his routine—morning exercise, new hobbies, and setting goals that mattered to him, not anyone else.
The Freedom of Moving On
There’s a unique kind of freedom that comes from finally letting go. When you stop trying to prove yourself to someone who walked away, you open up new opportunities—for yourself and for future relationships. Forget That B*tch shows men how to turn pain into progress and why letting go is the first step to finding happiness again. When you stop fighting for her validation, you finally start living for you.
How to Use Forget That B*tch and the 12-Week Workbook
A big reason why this book stands out is its focus on action. Reading alone won’t change your life—taking steps will. The 12-week workbook makes each idea from the book real, with prompts and challenges that keep you moving forward, even on the days you want to give up. Every man I know who committed to the workbook found that the pain faded faster, and their progress felt real, not just wishful thinking.
Your Next Step: Don’t Just Read—Take Action
Too many men stay stuck because they keep reading but never act. The men who get the most from Forget That B*tch are the ones who put the book down and actually follow the steps. Real progress means saying no to the old habits and yes to something new—even when it’s uncomfortable. The best books for men after a breakup don’t just tell you what to do, they make you do it. Forget That B*tch and its workbook are built for results.
