"Your marriage is ending. Maybe you saw it coming. Maybe you didn't. Either way, you're standing in the wreckage, wondering what the hell happened."

about the book

Written by a guy who lived it — the sleepless nights, the overthinking, the slow unraveling of everything you thought defined you — this isn’t a clinical guide or a self-help lecture. It’s the raw, honest, occasionally ridiculous story of one man losing himself completely and figuring out how to rebuild from scratch.

This book won’t fix your marriage. It’s not about winning her back. But it will remind you that you’re not broken — you’re just back to one. And that’s exactly where the real work begins.

The book nobody handed you when everything fell apart.

Testimonials

“I’ve known Art for 6 years and have witnessed a mind-blowing transformation in his life. He has managed to morph the pain, uncertainty and self-doubt of divorce into an amazing blend of clarity, confidence, whole-hearted wisdom, and love for life! And it’s this transformation you must read about so you can see what is possible for you when you challenge yourself, your values and your spirit in the ways that Art so beautifully describes in this book.”

Back to One is raw, funny, and deeply human. Writing with rare warmth and vulnerability, Art Chudabala takes us inside the confusion, grief, and hard-won growth that followed the end of his marriage. I have had many profound “back to one” experiences myself, and this powerful memoir reminds us all that losing the life you once knew can be the beginning of finding yourself again and creating a future that is more fully aligned with who you truly are.”
