Managing Love Intelligently: Episode 55

In today’s episode I explain why seeking understanding is more beneficial than seeking forgiveness.

Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Buzzsprout, YouTube, and all major podcast directories.

In addition to today’s podcast, I also wrote a Psychology Today article on the subject titled “The Myth of Forgiveness.” Key topics include the following:

• The concept of forgiveness is deeply ingrained in many societies and belief systems.

• Rather than seek forgiveness, seek understanding of the person who so badly treated you.

• By understanding, you are not excusing the bad behavior.
