Most amazingly good book on FORGIVENESS!
I have to say, Fred Luskins book, Forgiveness for Good is one of the best therapeutic books I have ever read ( and I have read a lot over the years ), also because he couples the forgiveness project with how anger, un-forgiveness and other negative emotions harm the body… more over, if you are a Therapist, this book will put everything else you learned up until now into perspective…. like when Fred Luskin talks about anger, he very pedagogical explain why, as The Buddha said: You will not be punished FOR your anger, You will be punished BY your anger! AND Fred Luskin drives that point home, clearly!Fred Luskin have with this book maid a very useful and workable guidebook for anyone that are a Therapist, a Buddhist / are into self development or suffer from a traumatic background, PTSD oa. and/or have anger problems... will in the end be so much easier for them, to let go and free up time, space and energy for other more useful pursuits!

Very helpful book, changes your outlook on life from the root.
I really found this book helpful in what it promised to do. Dr.Luskin's book was a savior who led me out of the dark world that I started living after unpleasant events that happened to me once in the past. I've been mad at my boyfriend for sleeping with another woman, and abandoning me to be on my own in a hospital after I took a bunch of pills when I found that out. The whole year passed, and all I could do was run this "movie" in my head what an "injustice" he did to me every day first thing when I woke up and every time I was falling asleep. I was suffocated with those thoughts and they didn't let me live the full life, or have an enthusiasm to meet or get to know someone else, and this is while being attractive young woman. I realized I needed something to be changed about this, otherwise it was just impossible to live like that. Dr. Luskin, like gentle father, took me by hand and showed step by step, how I am stuck in the miry swamp of my own grievance.As turns out, it's us and only us who's responsible for how we feel and only we can control whether we are going to let our past dictate and poison our present and our happiness, or can we just accept that whatever happened is in the past, and the grievance in the present will not bring us any use but harm. What s amazing, harm to our health first of all. If you are ready for brighter present and future and ready to let go of your past offenses and be happy - let Dr. Luskin show you how. He did it for me, for which I am very thankful. And I can enjoy life again :) The downside: the book is a little repetitive, and a little dry, but if you get through the whole thing, it really changes your attitude to how you react to unpleasant events, learn not to take it personally, learn to be the boss of how you feel and don't let wrongdoings of some bad people be the dictator of your happiness and piece of mind I also ordered his other book, "Forgive for Love" and currently reading it now

Great Book for Recovery From Trauma & Rough Life Events
A good friend and mentor suggested I read this book. Originally a therapist had recommended he read the book to help him deal with trauma. Having survived a number of traumatic events myself, I purchased this book. Every time I open this book, it blows my mind. Dr. Fred Luskin uses many real life examples of clients he has worked with over the years, breaking down their stories in a way that allows anyone to relate to aspects of their stories and see the lessons to be gleaned from them. The tone he takes with his clients is one that shows empathy, but enough detachment to explain how they are hurting themselves and how we hurt ourselves in how we think of life events.He explains how our minds work to form grievances, as well as the coping mechanisms and tools we need to develop to cope with tough life events. If you have ever felt wronged by a person or situation, I can say with confidence that this book will help you process it. The powerful message instilled by this book: we are not victims in life and the less we live as victims, the more powerful we become to create positive outcomes for ourselves and others. Having read many self-help books and books on trauma over the years, I have been highly impressed by the author's simple way of breaking down complex concepts into manageable, understandable bits. This is a book I will be reading slowly to get the most out of its rich contents. I anticipate rereading this book and have already recommended it to numerous friends and family.

einfach gut...
Einfache, mit sehr vielen Beispielen versehene Erklärung, warum es einem selbst besser geht, wenn man nicht Rache sucht, sondern vergibt und vor allem loslässt.
