Thanks to Gallery books for the gifted copy for honest review。I LOVED this one！ Apologies tie into accountability， which is something I feel really passionately about （make mistakes， that's human， but take ownership！）。 This one not only teaches readers the parts of a good apology， but dives into topics like how to help kids apologize well， what bad apologies look like （the chapter on bad celebrity apologies？ Amazing。）， and when NOT to apologize （and why maybe you can stop feeling bad if you feel Thanks to Gallery books for the gifted copy for honest review。I LOVED this one！ Apologies tie into accountability， which is something I feel really passionately about （make mistakes， that's human， but take ownership！）。 This one not only teaches readers the parts of a good apology， but dives into topics like how to help kids apologize well， what bad apologies look like （the chapter on bad celebrity apologies？ Amazing。）， and when NOT to apologize （and why maybe you can stop feeling bad if you feel like you say sorry too often）。 It's really conversational and fun to read。 。。。more

This book studies the practice of apologies from every conceivable angle。 Everything is looked at - good and bad apologies， when they are needed and when not， and all manner of celebrity apologies including politicians， movie and music stars， sports icons， etc。 You get the picture。 To me， this book could have been condensed by at ;east one hundred pages。 Maybe my situation is odd but I can think of very few times I needed to apologize nor times I needed an apology from someone else。 The focus h This book studies the practice of apologies from every conceivable angle。 Everything is looked at - good and bad apologies， when they are needed and when not， and all manner of celebrity apologies including politicians， movie and music stars， sports icons， etc。 You get the picture。 To me， this book could have been condensed by at ;east one hundred pages。 Maybe my situation is odd but I can think of very few times I needed to apologize nor times I needed an apology from someone else。 The focus here might have been on thinking before you speak and write to not hurt others。 。。。more

ARC provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review。Fascinating。 They cover it all - what constitutes a good apology， a bad apology， and how getting it wrong （or having it be accepted） is different for celebrities， politicians， companies， government agencies， countries， men versus women， and more。 They also cover the art of how to react to an apology。 Also， they manage to be hilarious - this is not a dry read by any stretch of the imagination。 Lots of interesting anecdotes to be found ARC provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review。Fascinating。 They cover it all - what constitutes a good apology， a bad apology， and how getting it wrong （or having it be accepted） is different for celebrities， politicians， companies， government agencies， countries， men versus women， and more。 They also cover the art of how to react to an apology。 Also， they manage to be hilarious - this is not a dry read by any stretch of the imagination。 Lots of interesting anecdotes to be found here！ 。。。more

Have you ever wondered if you truly know how to apologize？ Do you ever wonder if you have to forgive someone after they say sorry？ Have you ever judged someone based solely on their apology？ Grab this book。 Yes， this is a nonfiction book so there are a few dry parts， but overall the writing is funny and conversational and I was pleasantly surprised at how humorous they could make an entire book about apologizing be！ I’m an enneagram 9， which means that I hate conflict…which alternatively means I Have you ever wondered if you truly know how to apologize？ Do you ever wonder if you have to forgive someone after they say sorry？ Have you ever judged someone based solely on their apology？ Grab this book。 Yes， this is a nonfiction book so there are a few dry parts， but overall the writing is funny and conversational and I was pleasantly surprised at how humorous they could make an entire book about apologizing be！ I’m an enneagram 9， which means that I hate conflict…which alternatively means I hate apologizing because it means at some point there was conflict in my life and therefore I stress ate a lot of chocolate while reading this， but it was totally worth it。 （I recommend Lindt dark chocolate truffles if you also need some chocolate。）The nice thing about this book is that the chapters are very well organized and named so you know precisely what you’re getting into as you begin them。 This means that you can skip a chapter you may not be inclined to need at the moment （but definitely should go back to when you have the time because it’s all very informative！）。 That being said， if you’re skipping around I highly suggest making space for the last three chapters as they are all extremely relevant to society。 Thank you Simon & Schuster for the ARC！ 。。。more

I enjoyed this book on apologies and the prosocial perspective the authors utilized。 This title is smart， well researched and funny。 I really liked the numerous studies they cited and summarized to support their arguments for good apologies。 I won an ARC via a Goodreads giveaway。

I would like to thank Gallery Books for providing me with an ARC。Sorry， Sorry， Sorry was a very interesting and enjoyable read。 It of course discusses in depth the importance of good apologies and how they can impact you and your relationships。 I enjoyed the many topics that it discussed and was even surprised at the many topics that were discussed。 Maybe I'm reading the wrong stuff， but I have never read a book or even article discussing the harms that doctors can cause。 I as well as many other I would like to thank Gallery Books for providing me with an ARC。Sorry， Sorry， Sorry was a very interesting and enjoyable read。 It of course discusses in depth the importance of good apologies and how they can impact you and your relationships。 I enjoyed the many topics that it discussed and was even surprised at the many topics that were discussed。 Maybe I'm reading the wrong stuff， but I have never read a book or even article discussing the harms that doctors can cause。 I as well as many other people have been harmed by doctors， never to even receive acknowledgement that they made a mistake， and it often seems that everybody else is quick to defend the doctor or deny our experiences。 This book discusses this in a very balanced way and I'm happy that there are doctors who are trying to change this and that some students in the medical profession are having to learn how to apologize。 I'm very thankful that this book discussed this issue and that it discussed how steps are being made to try to reduce harm in the future。 Sorry， Sorry， Sorry， also discusses many other topics in ways that are just as balanced and nuanced as this one。 This book surprised me in many ways。 It's just a fantastic book discussing the importance of good apologies and the many aspects of our lives that they can impact。 。。。more

Honestly I didn’t enjoy this book as much as I thought I would。 It was a bit of a disappointment。

Can a book about apologies be one of the most relevant books of our times？ Yes， Dear Reader， it can。 Sorry， Sorry， Sorry is funny， smart， informative， and deep。 It brims with entertaining and informative research about how when people apologize well， hostility （and lawsuits） goes down （I'm looking at you overly cautious cautious， CYA medicine）。 At the crux of it， this book is a guide to sitting with your discomfort when you have done something wrong， owning it， and making right。 So simple and ye Can a book about apologies be one of the most relevant books of our times？ Yes， Dear Reader， it can。 Sorry， Sorry， Sorry is funny， smart， informative， and deep。 It brims with entertaining and informative research about how when people apologize well， hostility （and lawsuits） goes down （I'm looking at you overly cautious cautious， CYA medicine）。 At the crux of it， this book is a guide to sitting with your discomfort when you have done something wrong， owning it， and making right。 So simple and yet so hard。 My goodness， can you imagine what a world would look like if this were put into practice？'This book is brilliant， provocative， humane， funny， and necessary。 Read it。 You won't be。。。。 sorry。 。。。more
