Synopsis

A practical guide by the man Time magazine has called "the forgiveness trailblazer."

While it may seem like a simple enough act, forgiveness is a difficult, delicate process which, if executed correctly, can be profoundly moving and a deep learning experience.

Whatever the scenario may be—whether you need to make peace with a certain situation, with a loved one or friend, or with a total stranger—the process of forgiveness is an art and a science, and this hands-on guide walks readers through it in 8 key steps. How can we become forgivingly "fit"? How can we identify the source of our pain and inner turmoil? How can we find meaning in what we have suffered, or learn to forgive ourselves? What should we do when forgiveness feels like a particularly tall order? All these questions and more are answered in this practical book, leading us to become more tolerant, compassionate, and hopeful human beings.

Robert Enright and Everett Worthington are two of the largest names in forgiveness research. I believe Enright preceded Worthington by a few years, but both have contributed significantly to the psychological understanding of forgiveness and what sorts of things can help a person achieve it.

Though I view forgiveness from a faith perspective, Enright looks at it from the practical and scientific. For me. it was how they lined up that I found facinating.
