Review # 1 was written on 2015-10-27 00:00:00 Marvin Washington this book is really amazing and it had some unexpected benefits. i was trying to figure out how to forgive intentionally when it was really hard for me, instead of just letting it happen naturally over time. this book taught me how to do that, but also, and more powerfully, it gave me the skill of actually forgiving while something i don't really like is going on, instead of letting it bother me in the first place. unbelievable! even better, i learned how to forgive myself, which has allowed me to get back to projects i've flaked out on instead of just feeling endlessly guilty and giving up on them. one thing to remember though, is that you still get to have your version of the story if you have been harmed. you still get to be angry too. you've just got to let go of blame and see the big picture and find acceptance, which in the end feels great. it's a process, and you can't force yourself to forgive before you're ready. but even after you forgive, you don't have to give up your version of the story. i don't think this book emphasizes that enough. and keep setting boundaries! for crying out loud, don't let people walk all over you. but i think that part of forgiving people and expecting them to be human and make mistakes is that it helps you get better at trusting people to be themselves, rather than trusting them to do what you'd like them to do, and then getting angry. in other words, if your buddy is usually a caustic asshole to you, trust him to hurt your feelings. but if he'd give you the shirt off his back when you need it, you can trust him to do that too.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-10-04 00:00:00 Roy Metcalf "Of the seven deadly sins, anger is possibly the most fun. To lick your wounds, to smack your lips over grievances long past, to roll over your tongue the prospect of bitter confrontations still to come, to savor to the last toothsome morsel both the pain you are given and the pain you are giving back--in many ways it is a feast fit for a king. The chief drawback is what you are wolfing down is yourself. The skeleton at the feast is you." Frederick Buechner This quote says it all. Luskin helped me to see that any grievance or grudge, no matter how small, when it takes up room in your mind, prevents you from totally being in the moment and enjoying your life. His techniques on how to let the grievance go are very helpful. After learning the "Sedona Method", where they tell you to just "let it go", it is nice to have specific tools to help including: Breath of Thanks, Heart Focus, PERT and HEAL. They are all effective. The bottom line is if you want to feel better, you need to forgive even the smallest slight. Your distress is coming from the upset you are feeling now, now what offended you in the past. That includes forgiving yourself as well. As the famous saying goes: "Forgiveness means giving up all hope for a better past".
