Forgive the most important people in your life...

Any additional comments?

...starting with yourself. That is the most valuable lesson I've learned while listening to this audiobook. There's even a wonderful self-forgiveness checklist. You can't forgive others fully until you forgive yourself. And there's no need to go around beating yourself up your whole life over simple mistakes - even big ones. That kind of thinking only allows others to do the same. This is a wonderful audiobook that I would recommend to anyone in any situation.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Forgiveness: The Healing Power of Forgiveness?

I like how the author describes forgiveness,"Compassionate feelings that support a willingness to forgive"

hmmh i guess this is not applicable in this book

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

How Forgiveness Can Make You Happier

Would you listen to Forgiveness: The Healing Power of Forgiveness again? Why?

I have already listened to Forgiveness a number of times. The first time I was very struck by the original and interesting idea that forgiveness can be so important to our sense of well-being.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Forgiveness: The Healing Power of Forgiveness?

The most memorable moment for me was the realisation that we each carry around so much baggage from past experiences whether we realise it or not. These past experiences, if not fully resolved, can impede our way forwards and prevent us from living the happy, fulfilled lives we would like to. The key is to find forgiveness, of ourselves and others.

What does Joshua Mackey bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

The enthusiasm and urgency the narrator brings to the audiobook really helped my enjoyment of the content.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The idea of forgiveness is such a deep-seated idea in culture and in many world religions it did feel quite a profound idea to consider and I was moved by it.

Forgiveness = Happiness & Health

Where does Forgiveness: The Healing Power of Forgiveness rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I've listened to several of audio books now and in my opinion this ranks very high on the list because of how important the lessons and techniques are that are detailed within.
It's a topic close to us all because we all have to forgive someone at some point in our lives and this book is excellent at driving home how much better you feel personally if you just forgive and move on with your life.

What did you like best about this story?

What I liked best was the focus on the benefits that forgiving someone gives to you. It doesn't just say you should forget it, but accept it and move on.
The way it breaks down how to forgive not just others, but yourself, is very impressive. It details a range of techniques that make a lot of sense when trying to stay in control of your emotions and not act irrationally.

What about Joshua Mackey’s performance did you like?

With a topic like this the narrator is very important for emphasizing key points to the listener. Mackey does a great job throughout of doing this and is thoroughly engaging throughout.

Any additional comments?

I would deem this a must-listen because it contains so many aspects to forgiving someone and useful techniques to go about doing it.
The self-forgiveness checklist is also very important to listen to in the book.

A great guide to forgiveness & moving on with life

I found this audio-book really helpful in giving me some strategies to let go of grudges and move on with my life. In particular, the chapter on self-forgiveness was emotive and powerful and made me re-evaluate my attitude towards myself. It's easy to follow, well narrated, and contains lots of helpful breathing and visualization exercises to help get you to a place where you can forgive others, yourself, and spend that negative energy you were focusing on being angry, on something more positive.

Full of insights and wisdom.

Forgiveness is a gentle listen, full practical wisdom which (if applied) could save you from so much wasted energy, anger, resentment and pain. Ace shows the reader how to deal with anger and negativity, how to re-write the stories we tell ourselves when we feel that someone has betrayed us and how to re-focus our attention onto things that work for us, rather than against us.

I found the consideration of alternative explanations from the point of view of the person who we might feel has wronged us, extremely helpful. Forgiveness does not expect us to forgive and move on in the first instance, but rather gives us the tools to deal first with the pain and anger of betrayal, then look at practical ways to invest our energy into moving forwards. Ace doesn't encourage us to forget, but rather to use what we have learned to help us make better choices in the future.

This is a book about redeeming the worst of situations so that they become positive opportunities for us to learn and grow, rather a negative drain on us for the rest of our lives. Joshua reads with kindness and encouragement, bringing the ideas to life. As with many of Ace's books, Forgiveness also contains some excellent links to other useful resources that can be used to support a journey towards forgiveness.

If you're struggling with the pain of betrayal this book is a good place to begin your journey back to internal peace.
