Download or read book Why Won t You Apologize written by Harriet Lerner and published by Prelude Books. This book was released on 2017-01-12 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renowned psychologist and bestselling author of The Dance of Anger sheds new light on the two most important words in the English language, "I'm sorry," and offers a unique perspective on the challenge of healing broken relationships and restoring trust. Dr. Harriet Lerner has been studying apologies for more than two decades, namely, why some people won't give them. Now she offers compelling stories and solid theory that demonstrates 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-apologizer and the over-apologizer, 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.
Download or read book Austin s Apology written by Lena Jakes and published by DCT Enterprises, LLC. This book was released on 2014-11-24 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Director of the Teams, Austin Stewart had a reputation as an agent without emotions, able to make hard decisions with ice cold detachment. It was a quality that served him well – until almost losing one of his own made him question his ways. Now Austin’s niece has been kidnapped, and the price to get her back is the delivery of the woman he allowed to hide and has protected from afar all these years. Addison Malloy barely survived her first and only attempt to be an undercover agent. For years she has been on the run, trying to stay ahead of the human trafficking ring that wants her dead, and away from the mission that changed her life forever. Now, the man who originally sent her into danger has found her and wants to bring her back into the action. Austin swears he has changed, but can Addison overcome her fear of the cartel, and her hatred of him enough to accept Austin’s apology, and trust him to protect her as she faces danger once again?
Download or read book Harry s Apology written by David Martin Anderson and published by ConRoca Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-30 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Tokyo, hidden by towers of steel and glass, huddles the ancient temple known as Zojoji. It is a sacred haven where thousands of stone effigies of stillborns are scattered, awaiting the arrival of the deity, Jizobosatsu, the Shinto rescuer of lost souls. It is also the place where one of the effigies defiantly holds a small American flag. That lone statue is all that remains to the memory of the POW abuse at nearby Omori prison and to the young men who perished at the hands of their captors. After waiting fifty-five years, one of the POW survivors, Harry Kaplonsky, has initiated a lawsuit against the Japanese government to even the score: he is suing for an apology. Coincident with the litigation, Harry is being interviewed, his memoirs considered a literary gold mine. Aspiring author, Tinker, his autobiographer and the story's narrator, has cornered him at the annual USS Houston reunion eager to record the deeds that have turned Harry into a vengeful old man. Early on, she discovers Harry is dying of cancer and quite eager to divulge the truth about the abuse that took place at Omori. It is Harry’s guilt over the deaths of five crewmates that has sparked his desire to tell-all; likewise, his culpability has led to a fifty-year schism between himself and the remaining survivors. With the litigation, Harry is hoping to not only gain public attention for the plight of fallen comrades but also clear his name with his POW brothers. The legal action pits the old veteran against the might of the Japanese government and a U.S. State Department eager to gain trade concessions.

Download or read book Public Apology between Ritual and Regret written by Barbara Segaert and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2013 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1990s we witness a rise in public apologies. Are we living in the ‘Age of Apology’? Interesting research questions can be raised about the opportunity, the form, the meaning, the effectiveness and the ethical implications of public apologies. Are they not merely a clever and easy device to escape real and tangible responsibility for mistakes or wrong done? Are they not at risk to become well-rehearsed rituals that claim to express regret but, in fact, avoid doing so? In a joint interdisciplinary effort, the contributors to this book, combining findings from their specific fields of research (legal, religious, political, linguistic, marketing and communication studies), attempt to articulate this tension between ritual and sincere regret, between the discourse and the content of apologies, between excuses that pretend and regret that seeks reconciliation.

Download or read book The Apology of a Sex Offender written by An Offender and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2014-06-26 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I'm not the scum of the earth. Because five minutes of my life could never define who I am as a person and what I hope to achieve in life. My story is not meant to garner support for sick criminals who make no attempt to rejoin the society that has rejected them. However, there are those of us that are five, seven, ten, and in my case, fourteen years out from having a felony conviction. Yet I'm still being prosecuted for being too poor to own a home or pay rent reliably for stability purposes, so I face failure to register with authorities I don't even need to register with. To top it off, I'm considered a liar because they charged me with forgery. Who would you believe? A detective or a sex offender? There's always more to a story than just one perspective. I am someone's son, and I have four children of my own. I know life isn't fair, but what did my children do to deserve a father who's fired from job after job because of a past that wasn't their fault? Take a moment to ask yourself what you would do for your child. I've paid into social security from over thirty-five jobs. Imagine having to fill out hundreds of applications and listing over thirty-five jobs you got and then lost in a thirteen-year time frame. But my children are worth that and so much more. That's what this book means to me; it's not just a chance at failure, but a chance at real success for the first time in my life.
