Feature
★ Why does a carp whose food has been taken not get angry, while we replay the same grudge for years? Drawing on the next generation of therapy, which joins psychology to brain science, Sugiyama peels the machinery of anger back layer by layer. Holding a grudge, it turns out, is the brain protecting itself.
★ The old grievance that keeps you awake at night, the one that still tightens your chest — how do you get it out of your head? The book sets out a set of “forgiveness drills” you can put to use the same day, to break the loop where the more you think, the angrier you get, and the angrier you get, the more you think.
★ A certified clinical psychologist, Sugiyama has worked in child-rearing support, workplace mental health and even criminal rehabilitation — long experience across the cases people find hardest to talk about. No empty theory here: every case lands on a blind spot most of us share.
★ Rights sold: Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean.
Description
Especially now: the pandemic has left people oversensitive to what others do, quick to find fault, and that can breed a kind of closed-in feeling.
Those who cannot forgive others end up, through that very narrowness, as people who are not forgiven. Through concrete cases, this book shows how to grow the heart and cut that cycle.
Too wound up to sleep, too restless to rest — put down the “I can't forgive them!” that keeps tormenting you, and get back days that feel clear and light.
