The Tao of Forgiveness: The Healing Power of Forgiving Others and Yourself

I found this to be a beautiful book on accepting ourselves and others with all our foibles and flaws and moving beyond our tendency to dwell on imperfections and mistakes and instead looking with loving and forgiving eyes and hearts at the community of humankind. The author helped me to view myself as inseparable from everything and everyone else in the universe, and to strive to find the lessons and opportunities for spiritual growth in all circumstances. This book is a treasure, full of wisdom and hope.

It took me a while to finish reading, because it have me a lot to think about and I needed time between each chapter to digest the material. Read it on my lunch breaks at work when i Was having a lousy day and it made a huge difference in how I related to the people I work with.

This book gives me stories that are simple easy to tell and then exercises to bring it into practical application, I am so touched by this book. It is the book we are using in our group, we are doing this work together. The Tao is now a part of my everyday life.

self work takes work and holding onto past hurts is an important part of moving forward. This book has exercises at the end of each chapter that you practice to help "do the work". Inner healing is key, and this has some good advice.

This book is astounding, to say the least! I truly wish more would teach this type of forgiveness.For me, especially chapter 13, this book changed my entire outlook about forgiveness. It was if a whole new perspective was just waiting to be found.Thank you so very much Bill for sharing your gift of writing!!!!

Will be reading this book a few times. Easy to read but very deep book.

I love this book for it's beauty and direction in life. It fills me with knowledge and if you are having problems forgiving, please try this book for it's soothing and insightful words.

Written in plain language that is easy for anyone to understand. Helpful and the thoughts, exercises and guided meditations are great!

Forgiveness ends all suffering and loss.

A good worthwhile read that opens an awareness into why we hang on to certain feelings and an insight into letting go.
