Forgiveness is Really Strange by Masi Noor, Marina Cantacuzino

Forgiveness is Really Strange (...Is Really Strange)

by Masi Noor and Marina Cantacuzino

What is forgiveness? What enables people to forgive? Why do we even choose to forgive those who have harmed us? What can the latest psychological research tell us about the nature of forgiveness, its benefits and risks?

This imaginative comic explores the key aspects of forgiveness, asking what it means to forgive and to be forgiven. Witty and intelligent, it answers questions about the health benefits and restorative potential of forgiveness and explains, in easy-to-understand terms, what happens in our brains, bodies and communities when we choose to forgive.

Similar to Anxiety is Really Strange -- I liked this one more because it was an interesting and nuanced exploration of forgiveness in its many forms. (I'm intimately familiar with anxiety.)
