Forgiving Life - A Pathway to Overcoming Resentment and Creating a Legacy of Love

Informationen zum Autor Robert D. Enright, PhD Klappentext Offers scientifically supported guidance to help people forgive those in their lives who have acted unfairly and have inflicted emotional hurt. It does not minimize the devastation of that hurt. It does not require reconciliation with the one who inflicted the hurt. Rather, it describes a process, followed with success by people around the world, to confront the pain, rise above it to forgive, and in so doing, to loosen the grip of depression, anger, and resentment that has soured life.
