Book Description
This book presents numerous ways in detail that help heal a lifetime of blame, resentment, grudges, and especially regret, guilt, and self-blame, so that you can move onto a more peaceful, joyful life.

In this book you will learn:

1) Forgiveness techniques
2) Ways to move past sticking points which prevent you from forgiving others
3) What the blocks to forgiveness are
4) Secrets that help you be successful in the forgiveness process
5) What forgiveness actually is (it may not be what you think)
6) A step by step process to forgive even the worse offenses
7) The effects that holding on to resentment and anger have on your health and your life (scientifically proven!)

Thanks for this, Going Places.  And thanks for the video link, Mutt.  I see there's a Kindle edition on Amazon.  The topic of this book is just what I was looking for... .
