How to in this title. No how to in the book.
This is a vanity project paid for by his own non-profit. The book has no instructions and no insight. Repetitive and filled with "forgive everyone, it's easy" but no methods. Author relies on quotations and implausible stories that all end with characters simply deciding to forgive, never saying how.
Author themself says their journey to forgiveness took only a few hours and they were miraculously cured of all negativity.
It should just read, "forgive everyone, come on, do it, it's great, why aren't you done yet?"

Functionarea iertarii depinde de modul de reactie influentat de cele 3 sisteme cerebrale.
Iertarea depinde de mecanismele de aparare, de felul in care ne sabotam, de integerea gandirii noastre.
Foarte utilă.
