Forgiveness
By Iyanla Vanzant
344 pages
For anyone who knows she
should (but just can't) forgive:
We've all heard that forgiveness is the only way to free yourself. As the late Carrie Fisher once said (quoting Saint Augustine), "Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die." Point taken, but how do you let it go? In Vanzant's recently reissued classic, she offers a clear, accessible 21-day guide for forgiving anyone and everyone who may have hurt you: a parent, a lover, a sibling, a friend, a spouse, a boss. Be prepared to shed a few tears and emerge a lot lighter.
