Hey!
On today's ep I'm interviewing Fred Luskin. Fred Luskin, Ph.D. is the author of Forgive for Good and one of the world's leading researchers and teachers on the subject of forgiveness. He is the director of the Stanford Forgiveness Project, a series of research projects that investigate forgiveness methods.
We talk about the impact of forgiveness on mental health, the importance of setting boundaries and challenging unenforceable rules, the need for gratitude and positive intention in the forgiveness process.
