Summary: Really works!
Review: Although there is a lot of material here that I have already incorporated into my spiritual life, there were three key things that helped me tremendously. 1. You can't "force" yourself to forgive...it just doesn't work...and it won't work until you're ready -- and that's OK. 2. It's OK to be angry -- just don't let it become addictive; and it's ok to express anger -- as long as it is done in a cleansing, healing manner; and 3. Freeing that "wounded" part of yourself that has been kept deep inside you for a long time. It's really up to you. It's your choice to forgive yourself for giving away your personal power...or it's your choice to remain in a state of pain and sorrow. Make the choice to forgive yourself -- you will find out just how free and powerful you become!

Summary: A superb technique to change your life
Review: As a Unity minister who has been on the "path" for years, I didn't expect to find much new or valuable in this book. But I certainly did. Ideas came "alive" that formerly had been interesting concepts, but not REAL and practical. Since everything is actually happening "now", conscious actions chosen today can heal both Present problems and patterns created by events in the "Past". Traumatic events have powerful emotions attached. These emotions form patterns that create similar events and feelings over and over again in your life. Unfortunately, many of these patterns were formed when you were a child, so they're usually wrong and downright dangerous. Yet they repeat the same situations wearing new costues. They distort our present. Normally we like to blame others for all our problems. We dearly love to tell everyone how we have been victimized. "He done me wrong!" is a world class theme. However,If you can recognize a new possibility, a startlingly different way to view things, a way to see events from another dimension, ...or even if you are only WILLING to TRY a new approach - you can abolish your "victim role"forever. You can recast yourself as a "Winner"in life.
When you use the simple technique of Radical Forgiveness, you release enormous quantities of energy that were trapped in maintaining your original negative patterns. This liberated energy then surges through your life, flowing into new positive patterns that create success and love. Parents can use Redical Forgiveness as a tool to free their children from traumas that otherwise would ruin their lives. Lovers can REALLY forgive each other and love even more. People who have made horrendous mistakes in their lives can see how these can be "redeemed" and seen as gifts. This book is one of the clearest explanations of Life that I have eve read. It is a blessing. KNOW the Truth, and you,re freed!"

Summary: Highly Recommended and very timely!
Review: As with all great books, it is not so much what is written, but where it leads you. And this book leads the reader(if they are ready)on the first steps of a wonderful journey where one can lovingly let go of what is holding us back from being who we really are.In that discovery we can find out the answers to those elusive questions,"Who am I?" "What am I here for?" Believe me this journey can be a little confronting in the beginning and if one is not ready to let go of one's garbage I can see where some people may react negatively. I was so impressed with the results in my life, I hired the author to come up to our company and do the two day workshop with all our staff. It was the best thing we could have done. The changes in over 50 people have been genuine and positively impacted our business.Personally I would recommend the workshop, the book is great but I feel the opportunity for spiritual growth is limited in reading a book.

Summary: Radical Forgiveness = Nothing New
Review: Author begins with idea of find the cause of your problem, think it out, release the problem. Nothing new here. He also borrows extensively from beliefs and therapies of others, giving credit in some cases and not in other cases. Nothing new about "blaming the victim," either.
If you think changing your thinking is all you have to do to recover, then this book is for you.
I prefer to keep my ego intact, and to honor, respect, and love my inner child of the past, and NOT give "my inner brat" a funeral as is suggested in one of the author's therapies.

Summary: typo-ridden trash
Review: Horrible little book. The only kind of sentence this "author" can write is a run on sentence! My 19 year old daughter gave me this book and told me I should use it as an example of what not to do for my students. I heartily agree! Nothing new here just a rehash- borrowed a bit to liberally from authors like Carolyn Myss.

Summary: Book lacks orginality, writing stilted
Review: I bought this book hoping to find some answers. All I found was cobbled together new age claptrap. One chapter hardly relates to another, and all the ads at the back made me feel like this author just threw anything out there just to get an opportunity to sell me something else which I found personally offensive. The bottom line on this confused melange is that the book is so poorly put together and badly written that it's an insult to readers. The Radical Forgiveness theories are not only, not original, but also very hopeless because the author advocates that we are not responsible for anything that happens. The book's title is also a rip-off of the book, "Radical Honesty." The story in the back on Princess Diana is a tastless attempt to weave some celebrity connection to the author, and after what he said about the poor woman in the story I was disgusted that he had the nerve to dedicate the book to her. What an insult!
