Probably would motivate you if you were a religious Christian, but that’s it

I mean... I got really excited for this book. Was gonna buy the paperback off of amazon because the reviews were amazing. They were so amazing that I couldn’t wait for the shipping time, so I download Audible.
In short, if you were to play a drinking game for every time the author recites a verse from the Bible, you would be dead from alcohol poisoning in one chapter.
As a non-Christian, but as a woman of another faith, I got excited that the author ties spirituality and religion into his message. But all he did was recite recite recite; telling you how Jesus won’t appreciate anger or bitterness, saying that God won’t forgive you if you can’t forgive others.. OK that’s fine, but I was expecting him to give a solution, like suggesting a new mental practice, or a thought process that you should develop. But none of that ever happened. By the time I reached the last chapters of the book, the verse recitations became WAY too frequent, I couldn’t take it anymore. He didn’t offer advice or any coping practices. He just insists that you shouldn’t be bitter, that you shouldn’t be angry, and that negative feelings like those will make you sick in the future. All this is common knowledge, there was no “help”.
I guess, if you are super religious, this book might guilt trip you or in someway “soften” your heart so that you can forgive traumas. Unfortunately, there was no logical method offered to help you become “bitter free”
