In our 2010 Fetzer Survey on Love and Forgiveness, 62 percent of Americans agreed (strongly or somewhat) that they need more forgiveness in their personal lives, and this number increased to 83 percent in their communities, 90 percent in America, and 90 percent in the world.

As unique and fallible human beings, endowed with our own needs, preferences, personalities, and foibles, it’s inevitable we will make mistakes, hurt others, and be hurt ourselves. Forgiveness can be a powerful self-administered salve for the daily frustrations, hurts, and even injustices we experience. We share this list of resources, both our own and our partners’, to help us consider and explore the topic and practice of forgiveness.
