Perdonar

by Robin Casarjian

"Todas las grandes tradiciones espirituales enseñan que el perdón es el instrumento esencial para conseguir la paz interior. Sin embargo, algunas personas creen que perdonar es un acto que en realidad encubre el dolor, la rabia y la maldad. En este libro, la psicoterapeuta Robin Casarjian nos ofrece la posibilidad de curar nuestras viejas heridas y librarnos de la práctica habitual de la autocrítica. Inspirada en la filosofía de una obra ya famosa en la psicoterapia espiritual, Un curso de milagros, y en sus años de experiencia clínica, Robin Casarjian nos demuestra que la liberación del pasado no sólo es posible sino también necesaria, si queremos alcanzar una salud y una armonía duraderas. En estas páginas encontraremos ejercicios, meditaciones y visualizaciones que nos ayudarán a reconocer nuestro dolor y al mismo tiempo nos guiarán para salir de él y superarlo. A partir de su experiencia clínica, la autora nos ofrece relatos conmovedores de lo que significa la práctica del perdón entre padres e hijos, entre los miembros de una pareja o entre empleados y jefes; los casos expuestos, incluso aquellos de las víctimas de delitos o de la injusticia, nos demuestran cómo el perdón se constituye en un medio terapéutico eficaz para lograr la paz interior."

One of the most profound books I have ever read. Finished it in January and want to reread it again.

[Carl Williams · Rating 3 out of 5]

I don’t set aside books very often, but I put this one aside. Though it is well written, combines both eastern and western sensibilities and the exercises seem like they would be helpful I’m finding it not all helpful. Perhaps because forgiveness is something I’ve wrestled with over the years. Perhaps because I’ve read a number of books on this subject—Dennis and Matthew Linn’s _Healing of Memories_ comes to mind. Perhaps because I’ve developed my own functioning sensibilities on the subject. Back to the shelf it goes.

The volume was thrust on my by a friend I respect and if I was reading it as part of a group rather than on my own, I might find more that resonates with me.

Who knows? I may pick it up again.

It changed my life

[Regina Candel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Es un libro oara tenerlo en la biblioteca o al lado de la cama y leer un poco todos los días, hacer los ejercicios que propone y volver a empezar. Porque este libro trata de las relaciones humanas y del amor por uno mismo...el conflicto eterno que todos tenemos, nadie se salva. Increíble lectura, clarisimos conceptos. Me encantó.

Decent concepts, some outdated language and writing styles.

I should probably give this a read with a more open mind - some of the examples of terrible SA really put me off this book initially.

This book is extraordinarily helpful. I found it particularly insightful in regards to self-forgiveness. The only part that didn't really resonate with me was the forgiving God part. if there is a God I will be hard pressed to forgive him/her while I'm alive. Also I can see how this book would rub some people the wrong way because the author asserts that everyone in the world deserves forgiveness but many people vehemently disagree.

[Arturo · Rating 5 out of 5]

The author offers a perspective on life for people that are sore and need healing and proposes exercises and practice to deal with it. It is sometimes ambiguous because there is no definitive answer for life but covers the topic of forgiveness in an easy to read way and allows the reader to internalize and maybe choose to do something about living a life of anger and damage or instead choose life as a benevolent expresion.

[Veronika · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very well written, nevertheless I couldn’t get myself to finish it. Maybe because I’m already familiar with the subject and I do in fact know how to forgive, I’m just not there yet. Gifted it to my mom afterwards, let’s see if it helps her look deep inside herself and heal.

[Louise · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great for learning about how and why to forgive in almost every situation.

[José Armando Leyva Martínez · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excelente libro!! Bastante clarificador que indica un camino claro para el proceso del perdón.

[Irene Azuaje · Rating 5 out of 5]

Su lectura es recomendable, pero hay que hacerlo con calma y tomarse su tiempo.

[Victor Buelvas]

Sencillamente inspirador

Fácil de leer, suficientemente amplio pero al mismo tiempo muy concreto, muy practico a la hora de buscar una solución en un tema particular.
