On Repentance and Repair: Making Amends in an Unapologetic World by Danya Ruttenberg

4.25

challenging emotional hopeful reflective slow-paced

This is a great book for an exploration of apology, repair, and transformation through a Jewish theological lens. Though I am not Jewish,  there’s so much wisdom here. My only qualm is at times the methodology described feels overly optimistic and overly sentimental. Some of the complexities of difficult but hurtful situations are over looked for the sake of simplified narrative.
