How to Forgive When You Don't Know How

In this groundbreaking look at the psychology of forgiveness, the authors show how resentment -- toward other people, toward one's self, even toward God -- can consume precious emotional energy and seriously impair both self-esteem and the ability to experience joy. Offering a short program for accelerating the process of forgiveness, and enlivened with classic quotations on the nature of forgiveness, this revolutionary book explodes long-standing myths -- including the notion that forgiveness involves self-denial, making up, confessing, or turning the other cheek.
