Summary

Lerner has been studying apologies for more than two decades. In Why Won't You Apologize? she offers compelling stories and solid theory to demonstrate the transformative power of making amends, and what is required for healing when the damage we've inflicted (or received) is far from simple. Readers will learn how to craft a meaningful apology and avoid signals of insincerity that only deepen suffering. In "Why Won't You Apologize?" Lerner challenges the popular notion that forgiveness is the only path to peace of mind and helps those who have been injured to resist pressure to forgive too easily. She explains what drives both the non-apologiser and the over-apologiser, and why the people who do the worst things are the least able to own their misdeeds. With her trademark humour and wit, Lerner offers a joyful and sanity-saving guide to setting things right.
