About this audiobook
How To Forgive is a raw, darkly funny exploration of pain, survival, and the strange ways people learn to laugh while bleeding inside. Through sarcasm, trauma, abandonment, addiction, violence, talent, and emotional chaos, this book follows the battle between becoming a better man and becoming the monster life tried to create.
This is not a soft guide about forgiveness. It is a bruised confession, a survival manual, and a mirror for anyone who has used humor as armor. At its core, How To Forgive asks one brutal question: can a person forgive the world without betraying the wounded child inside them?
