Famous psychologist and bestselling writer of The Dance of Anger sheds fresh light on both most important words and phrases in the English language-I’m sorry-and offers a unique perspective on the task of healing broken connections and rebuilding trust.

Dr. Harriet Lerner continues to be studying apologies-and why some individuals won’t give them-for a lot more than two decades. Today she gives compelling stories and solid theory that bring home how much the easy apology matters and what’s required for healing when the hurt we’ve inflicted (or received) is certainly far from basic. Readers will understand how to art a deeply meaningful “I’m sorry” and steer clear of apologies that just deepen the original injury.

Why Won’t You Apologize? also addresses the compelling requirements of the harmed party-the person who has been harm by a person who won’t apologize, tell the truth, or experience remorse. Lerner explains what drives both the non-apologizer as well as the over-apologizer, aswell as why the people who do the worst things will be the least in a position to own up. She helps the wounded person withstand pressure to forgive as well easily and difficulties the popular notion that forgiveness may be the only way to peace of mind. With her trademark humor and wit, Lerner presents a joyful and sanity-saving direct to setting things right.
