How Can I Forgive You?: The Courage to Forgive, the Freedom Not to by Janis A. Spring
5.0
So, I found this one last “self help” book from that time I went to my favorite giant bookstore after my marriage ended and I gathered a number of these books, only to read them years later. Well YOU GUYS, this one is for you.
If you are human, trying to be a human, or trying to be a better human...this book is for you. I really think most people would get something out of reading this. It doesn’t promote ways to ALWAYS FORGIVE AND HOLIER THAN THOU BECAUSE I FORGIVE YOU. It acknowledges that ALL human relationships are messy, complicated, and people can get hurt and do hurtful things to each other.
I feel like this is a book about healing, and ways to better manage your emotions, your thought processes, and really helpful ways to communicate openly and honestly. Which is something I think most people struggle with and something I desperately crave out of whether it is romantic, familial, or friendship. I thought the section targeted to the offender was interesting as well, meaning the book touches base on both sides of the issue and offers helpful insight to parties on either side.
I’m too sleepy as of this moment of writing to give better detail or insight but I do give this book a heavy recommend. (*NOTE- there are multiple mentions of forms of abuse, physical and sexual within this book, just as a warning for those who are sensitive to those matters.
Get this. Read this. Grow
