On Repentance and Repair: Making Amends in an Unapologetic World by Danya Ruttenberg
3.0
There were a few places where I didn’t follow the logic, thought the author was lying to herself, or found the concepts trite - and if not the concepts, at least the way they were portrayed. However, I appreciate how this book had me rethink how relationships work. And although not much time was spent on explaining each example in the book, it was good to show such a variety to see the framework's applications and limitations.
I didn’t like the strong bias toward the political left, though. I'd rather give up all my citizenships than vote for a conservative party, but things are more nuanced than Left = Good, Right = Bad. In that case, the author’s tendency to simplify concepts was grating.
Ideally, I will better follow this framework moving forward. Realistically, my strange mush of pride and anxiety will continue to get in the way. Worth a shot though.
