Forgiveness

By Derek O'Neill

What does it really mean to forgive? Who does it benefit the most? How do we see beyond hurt and anger, and reach a higher consciousness, moving forward?

Forgiveness: So I Can Move On, one of the many helpful little books in the GET A GRIP series by Derek O’Neill, will challenge your assumptions about forgiveness and reveal its transformative power. As difficult as it can be to forgive sometimes, by shifting our focus on healing, compassion, and understanding, we empower ourselves. With practical advice and concise bits of wisdom, Derek covers a variety of topics about forgiveness, including how to approach others with an open heart, steps to integrate forgiveness into every aspect of your life, and the tremendous importance of self-forgiveness.

If each one of us embraced a daily practice of forgiveness, the entire world would benefit and thrive. Forgiveness: So I Can Move On, is your passport to a journey that can improve your own life, the lives of those around you, and humanity as a whole.

An internationally acclaimed psychotherapist, motivational speaker, author, and humanitarian - Derek O'Neill is fondly referred to as the Celtic Sage. An Irish-born spiritual teacher who inspires and uplifts people from all walks of life, offering guidance to influential world leaders, businesses, celebrities, athletes and everyday people alike.

Dedication

To all who read this book, I salute you for wanting to change the way you live for the better and for having the courage to be who you are as fully as possible.

To all who encourage me everyday to keep going and sharing their lives with me, family small and large. But most of all the little angels who came to teach me – Alexa and Blake, my grandchildren.

Everybody hurts sometimes, and when we do it is nice to have Derek O’Neill around. His excellent little books on the things that get us, (fear, anger, depression, victimhood, mental blocks) allow us to find our way safely through our psychological minefields and arrive safely at the other side. Read them when you need them.
