“The book on "Forgiveness" is great for making up with friends and (estranged) lovers, but it's not just teeny bopper gift shop stuff. Authored by Anil Bhatnagar, a corporate trainer and motivational speaker, the book compiles the wisdom of ages and sages to allow you to effect some attitudinal correction with your life should too many negative feelings be built into it.”

--The Pioneer

“The book teaches us the importance of being forgiven and tells us how to ask for forgiveness, thereby enabling us to lead peaceful, healthy and happy lives. To quote, "The one who asks for forgiveness and the one who forgives become one with God. They experience Gods love, beauty and mercy all at once."

THE Little book of Forgiveness by Anil Bhatnagar tells the reader how to forgive naturally and effortlessly with the help of a number of quotations. To quote, "Most of us think that forgiveness may encourage the other person to continue with his irrational behaviour. There can be nothing further from the truth."

--The Financial Express

This book actually saved the life of an Irish girl of Indian origin. In a letter to the magazine’s editor she shared with the readers how an article Why Forgive? published in it made her rethink and change her decision to commit suicide. This inspired Anil Bhatnagar, the author of this article, to rewrite it as this small pocketbook.

An antidote to self-imposed avoidable suffering, this small book has been written to remind us that forgiveness is our way out of the cage of suffering--the only medicine that can miraculously lighten the burden of sorrow in this world. Forgiveness is an act of self-love and -respect. This is so because when we forgive, the one person we certainly do a favour is ourselves. Unless we see the necessity of forgiving everybody in our lives, we cannot begin to live a life of peace, health and happiness.

Keep this book as a constant companion with you always. And it will never let you down. Read just one page of it every day and let your mind go back to that thought whenever you are reminded of it throughout the day. Similarly, whenever you feel sad, stressed or depressed, just start going through the pages of this book and you will be back into life feeling refreshed and charged with true peace and happiness.
