Harriet Lerner Why won't you apologize?

• O stea, bazat pe 1 voturi

Renowned psychologist and bestselling author of The Dance of Anger sheds new light on the two most important words in the English language, I'm sorry, and offers a unique perspective on the challenge of healing broken relationships and restoring trust.

Harriet Lerner has been studying apologies for more than two decades, namely, why some people won't give them.

Now she offers compelling stories and solid theory that demonstrates the transformative power of making amends and what is required for healing when the damage we've inflicted (or received) is far from simple.

Readers will learn how to craft a meaningful apology and avoid signals of insincerity that only deepen suffering.

In Why Won't You Apologize? Lerner challenges the popular notion that forgiveness is the only path to peace of mind and helps those who have been injured to resist pressure to forgive too easily.

She explains what drives both the non-apologizer and the over-apologizer, and why the people who do the worst things are the least able to own their misdeeds.

With her trademark humour and wit, Lerner offers a joyful and sanity-saving guide to setting things right.
