Today I’m honored to sit down with a fellow member of the ProHuman Foundation’s board of advisors, Dr. Fred Luskin. It’s a privilege to be in conversation with someone whose work in the field of forgiveness and emotional well-being has touched so many lives, and whose insights are invaluable for anyone looking to cultivate deeper happiness and emotional resilience.
Dr. Luskin has dedicated his career to the science of forgiveness, serving as the director of the Stanford University Forgiveness Projects and authoring bestsellers like *Forgive for Good* and *Forgive for Love.* In our conversation, we’ll explore how forgiveness and gratitude—cornerstones of Dr. Luskin’s research—are not just abstract ideals but teachable, actionable skills that can transform your life. From breaking free of the victim mentality to fostering personal responsibility and emotional health, Dr. Luskin’s work shows us that we have the power to reshape our emotional reality.
In this episode, we’ll dig into the science behind forgiveness, the dangers of labeling others, and why humility and vulnerability are essential for genuine healing. Whether you’re dealing with personal struggles or just striving for a greater sense of well-being, Dr. Luskin’s approach offers practical steps to move forward.
