Radical Forgiveness: A Revolutionary Five-Stage Process to: Heal Relationships, Let Go of Anger and Blame, and Find Peace in Any Situation Paperback – January 1, 2010

The idea of radical forgiveness is, well, shall we say, radical? What it basically says it that nothing is ever wrong because nothing wrong ever happens... It's the belief that everything happens for a reason, that we are all here to experience certain emotions and experiences, and the people in our lives do the things they do as a way of helping us get those experiences..At first it seems like a hard idea to swallow.. It's easier to be angry at the people who have hurt us, but if you really think about what he's saying, really let it sink in and allow it to be a possibility, it really does start to make sense, and can very quickly start to release you from all that anger and hurt...Colin Tipping has a very soothing voice, which makes listening to him very comfortable. This is an easy audio book to listen to and follow, it's full of information and I believe it even contains a copy of the radical forgiveness form you can download to your computer to print out to use.. I didn't do that myself because I had already downloaded the form from the radical forgiveness website...Some programs like this kind of leave you hanging, not really sure of how to incorporate the practice in your own life. But Colin Tipping doesn't do that. He walks you through the steps, he gives examples of how it worked in his own life and he gives a description of the different types of personalities we all have, and explains how you will probably look at this idea according to your individual personality.. The tracks of the program are recorded very nicely so you can repeat certain things as many times as you want to without having to listen to info you don't need to replay.From what I've read, the complete Radical Forgiveness program goes much more in depth and gives actual stories of people who have turned their lives around using the program, which this Audio Book does not do.. But if you can't afford, or do not want to spend that much money on the entire Radical Forgiveness program, then this audio book will give you all the information you need to get started.Just a warning! I also purchased the CD "Finding Peace... Guided practices for radical forgiveness" thinking it would be a companion CD to this audio book, but it is the very same exact program, so no need to purchase them both.

This book was recommended to me and I am most grateful for this. As we go through our life's journey there are events that come up that leave us angry or hurt. Sometimes we don't know where this anger comes from, we just know it is deep within us. This book Radical Forgiveness explains the reasons that patterns develop in our lives and why we sometimes don't know what triggers our actions or emotions. This book along with another that I had just read before it explained all the answers to my questions regardng my personal life. Not only past issues but current in my face issues. Our society is fear based, angry and blaming and we have been taught that we are the way we are because of what someone else did or said to us and we live within our minds. However, our hearts are not just an organ that just keeps us alive, our hearts is where our memories and emotions are stored and many of us have highly protected and closed hearts that don't allow love to flow in or out to us. Our closed hearts create much pain in our lives but once we learn to open our hearts we begin to see our lives change for the better. We can't nor do we want to change those around us. We can only change ourselves and once we do that we begin to see others around us change. I have searched my entire life trying to find ways to make me feel better and more loved. I have been reading many books for the last 4.5 years and many have the same message and this is we need to learn to live from the heart. I am 56 years old and this book Radical Forgiveness and the other book I have just read to me are the "Holy Grail". If you want a true understanding of why we or others do things, this book will give you the answers, but only if you are ready to hear it. I have had many life changing moments in the past 4.5 years but this book has really helped me understand and gives new meaning of living from the heart. I highly recommend this book to anyone who truly wants to change their life. Life is meant to be joyful not painful and this book will define how we can accomplish this. May your life be ever changing....change is a scary word for most people but once you experience even just a tiny bit of positive change you will never go back. Our thoughts create our reality and if we learn to live in the present our lives will change forever.

If you refuse to work on your ego and victim mentality, this is not for you. To be honest, it will only trigger your anger even more. When I was depressed and lost, I started reading this book and stopped as I couldn’t find it in me to start taking responsibility for my own life. I came back to it months later when I noticed a shift in me that I wanted to let go of all my pain and trauma and stop allowing it to have control over me. This book has so much information and knowledge that it needs to be reread many times to grasp the concept fully. Lots of people in the negative reviews choose to focus their point on the author “excusing” trauma when it is not the point at all. People being triggered by it is their own ego reacting as the wound is way too strong and deep, and it is okay. So be aware! To fully understand you need to be willing to shift perspective and truly change.

Life-changing processes for releasing trauma and finding your essential self. Highly recommended and in book format, too.

We can all learn from forgiveness. Not forgiving past wrongs will keep us stuck in a negative mindset which will only attract more of the same untimely repeating the cycle. I also recommend reading Unconditional Love An Unlimited Way of Being by Herold W. Becker. This book is amazing. We need to heal past wounds and love ourselves more and constantly we will be able to love other.

As described. Book in good condition
