I've read about the spiritual divorce. I've read about divorce-as-catalyst-for-change. Now I'm about to read something a little more pragmatic.

There's a new book out called You Can Keep The Damn China: And 824 Other Great Tips On Dealing With Divorce that's looking pretty good. It's from a series called Hundreds Of Heads, which takes the "two heads are better than one" theory and multiplies it by, well, hundreds. The article I read about the book highlighted some of the tips and anecdotes offered, but I checked out the Amazon listing as well. My favorite so far? "One day, you just wake up and say, ‘I made a big mistake. I'm out of here.' My advice? Do it. Don't overthink it."

The book outlines various stages in the divorce process and offers support for what seems to be every possible obstacle. From deciding to divorce to figuring out how to tell friends and family to making the decision to remain friends with your ex, it's all covered.

Personally, if people got one piece of good advice from the over 800 tips on offer, I think that would be a good deal. Although the title piece, "You Can Keep The Damn China" is probably some great advice in itself. Don't fight over junk. Leave, start a new life and buy your own damn china.
