Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Forgiving Others, Forgiving Ourselves
Myra Warren Isenhart, PhD · 2015
78/100
👍 Worth It
This is a properly researched, interdisciplinary guide to forgiveness built on the authors' own empirical work, and the endorsement from Stanford's Forgiveness Project is not a throwaway credential. The reflective exercises make it functional rather than merely inspiring, and the interfaith framing opens it to broader audiences than most forgiveness books. Readers wanting warmth and inspiration over rigor may find it a bit academic, but it rewards the effort.
