On the Science of Forgiveness and Why it Matters


Listen Later

What would it look like if every time someone wronged us, we responded with our most basic instincts: avoidance or revenge? This is one of the most critical types of situations in which we find ourselves torn between what we want to do and what makes the world a better place. In this episode, we explore the science of forgiveness, including:

- What is forgiveness and ways to think about it

- How forgiveness develops and its links with well-being

- Implications for all of us
