Summary

In today's episode, I tackle the power of forgiveness by examining it through the lens of neuroscience and psychology. I then provide five powerful ways to forgive. If you're like most people, the thought of forgiving someone who has hurt you probably seems like the last thing you want to do on earth. This doesn't make you resentful—it just makes you human.

Brought to you by American Giant (get 20% off using code PassionStruck at https://www.american-giant.com/). What I Discuss About the Power of Forgiveness Forgiveness is difficult because evolution has taught us to avoid being exploited by others. One of the easiest ways to prevent exploitation is by retaliating or avoiding the offender. Choosing to forgive someone who has caused you pain can free you from the harm caused by others. However, unforgiveness can tie you to your past, stealing you of peace and joy. --► For information about advertisers and promo codes, go to: https://passionstruck.com/deals/ --► Prefer to watch this interview: https://youtu.be/dsgHPKg5qWA Like this show?
