The new year always brings Big Feels, especially when the one ending was particularly rough.
Too frequently when someone apologizes to me I'm tempted to quip, "The only apology I'll believe is behavior, so if you're sincere, stop talking and change yours."
Recently I heard Dan Harmon, one of my favorite storytellers, talk about this book and its helpfulness in both understanding apologies & making better ones.
