About Our Speaker

Frederic Luskin, Ph.D., is a leading expert on forgiveness and its benefits for health and happiness, the director of the Stanford University Forgiveness Project, and a Senior Consultant in Health Promotion. His research centers on the intersection of spiritual values and physical and emotional well-being. Dr. Luskin has conducted research and training on forgiveness in various settings, such as post-conflict regions, schools, workplaces, and health care. He has written several books, including Forgive for Good: A Proven Prescription for Health and Happiness, and has developed and tested a practical “Nine Steps to Forgiveness” method. Dr. Luskin defines forgiveness as “the peace and understanding that comes from lessening the blame of that which has hurt you, taking your life experience less personally, and seeing the cost of holding a grudge.”
