[Ралица Нейчева · Rating 4 out of 5]

"Прощавам (си) е книга с упражнения, предназначена именно за прощаването. Книгата е разделена на две части. В първата ние се учим, как да разбираме прошката, а във втората получаваме обучение по преминаването на етапите по прощаването. Това е изключително полезно четиво,напомнящо ни, че хигиената на всичко, с което ангажираме мислите си е от изключително значение.

Доста интересно и практически насочено четиво. Подробно са описани етапите на прошката, но най-много ме впечатли връзката между прошката и самооценката. Прощаващите хора са наясно със себе си, знаят къде се намират в пространството и умеят да се свързват с другите на по-дълбоко ниво.
