I enjoyed to read this book. It gives insights into a new mode of thinking and it helps to think and rethink about some happenings in one's own life. I also learned to think twice, before making hasty judgements on somebody or something. In turn, this helped me to realize a lot of reality and to see behind the curtain.
Nevertheless, in my opinion, Tipping's method is not practicable in all cases (i.e. in "hard core" cases). For example, I could never accept that there is/was a "higher divine purpose" in Hitler's doings or in the case of rape. Of course, Tipping mentions several times that "bad actions" should never go scot-free or be an excuse for anything.
One very very important point in the book was the subject "victim". It is very true that we take over the victimhood ever so often, because it is a very easy "tool" to interpret happenings. Again at this point, I realized a lot of "truths" when I rethought happenings in my own life and in the opposite site (given that I know the other person well). In my opinion, and also what Tipping mentions is, once a person has "broke" this cycle of victimhood, the person's self-healing will start and life will get easier.
Although some people will find Tipping's way of thinking somehow "radical", I strongly recommend this book to everyone. Even if one doesn't want to apply "radical forgiveness", it is nice to read about.
