One of the most profound interactions that can occur between
people, apologies have the power to heal humiliations, free
the mind from deep-seated guilt, remove the desire for
vengeance, and ultimately restore broken relationships. With
On Apology, Aaron Lazare offers an eye-opening analysis of
this vital interaction, illuminating an often hidden corner
of the human heart. He discusses the importance of shame,
guilt, and humiliation, the initial reluctance to apologize,
the simplicity of the act of apologizing, the spontaneous
generosity and forgiveness on the part of the offended, the
transfer of power and respect between two parties, and much
more. Readers will not only find a wealth of insight that
they can apply to their own lives, but also a deeper
understanding of national and international conflicts and
how we might resolve them. The act of apologizing is quite
simply immensely fulfilling. On Apology opens a window onto
this common occurrence to reveal the feelings and actions at
the heart of this profound interaction.
