“Don’t be fooled! This book is not just for people coping with divorce. It’s just as valuable for people coping with relationships. Stacy targets issues about self and significant others that forces introspection and ultimately makes relationships stronger. And, if the relationship is kaput, it unscrambles the mysteries.”

“Well written, insightful and practical – Stacy Phillips’ ‘Divorce: It’s All About Control’ identifies a key emotional pivot point in the marital relationship, explains its possible effects and how to recognize and deal with the consequences of this unique form of conflict. As a mediator who deals with non-marital conflict in the settlement of complex business disputes, I gained an understanding on some of the non-monetary factors that affect human behavior beneath the surface of the issues the parties claim to be disputing. I recommend Stacy’s book to anyone who deals with any form of conflict whether professionally or personally.”

“Stacy distinguishes herself by bypassing the usual, unsubstantiated advice on handling hardships that you often find from most relationship experts. With her hands-on experience with the issues that really tear couples apart, she boils down the psychological jargon to the essence of what truly transforms petty spats into full-blown battles in a relationship – and ultimately, offering genuine solutions to survive through the separation process.”

“Divorce can be very costly. More often than not the fight is not so much over money or assets as it is over control. Stacy Phillips has done a masterful job in helping people steer clear of the typical wars that perpetuate the struggle for control. There’s no question: Anyone going through a breakup should read this book.”

“The desire to feel in control of our lives is rarely more acute than when we are challenged with the loss of our relationship. Our very loss of control over the foundation of our lives often causes us to cling to it, causing further harm to each of us and our partner. Stacy Phillips’ book teaches us not just to accept our lack of control, but to be wise about how we react to this very human reaction. This book is absolutely essential reading for anyone who wants to engage in a mature and thoughtful split.”

“I so enjoyed every page of Ms. Phillips’ fine book! Having gone through more than one divorce, I would have been thrilled to have had this insightful book beside me through such difficult times. I really appreciate the way Ms. Phillips speaks directly and candidly to the reader. Everything she says is easy to understand and extremely enlightening. I love the pop quizzes.
