Radical Self-Forgiveness

Tipping writes with genuine warmth and the five-stage process gives readers something concrete to work through, which explains the loyal following among people open to New Thought spirituality. The worksheets and relatable stories make it practical enough to be useful. Readers grounded in traditional Christian or Jewish theology will find the metaphysical premise — that at the deepest level there is nothing to forgive because everything happens for you — fundamentally incompatible with their framework, and those looking for engagement with psychological research on self-compassion will come up empty.
