Praise for The Glory of Groveling"While Michael Waldman has a track record of highly successful management consulting, I know him to be also effective in dealing with personal situations where the cause is unclear and the solution is unknown.  I look forward to benefiting from my own applications of the recommendations in this book.”—Werner Erhard"The Glory of Groveling is a book much more profound than the title implies. Michael and Jason use apology as a means of reconnecting with people around us and ourselves. The steps they offer provide a healing path that not only connects with others, but carries the gift of our own liberation. I strongly recommend this book not only for its message but also for the modest and accessible way it is written."      —Peter Block, bestselling author of Flawless Consulting and The Answer to How is Yes"The breadth and width of Jason Feddy’s life experience has decorated his wisdom with a level of humor, satirical edge, and ridiculousness that makes for exactly the kind of navigational assistance I’m most comfortable with. He has a gift, built on a hybrid foundation of multi-cultural connectedness, spiritual enthusiasm, and street smarts. I started writing with him about five minutes after we met. When it comes to character… I’m a quick study!"—Paul Williams, Oscar and Grammy winner and Hall of Fame Songwriter“Jason Feddy and MichaelWaldman's The Glory of Groveling presents apology not as weakness but as neurological transformation. . . . The book is a unique synthesis of 12-step wisdom, executive coaching, and phenomenological philosophy.” —Joe Ferguson, PhD/MBA, clinical psychologist and philosopher"TheGlory of Groveling is a simple but effective way to repair so many personal relationships. We just need the courage to practice this more often in our daily lives to make our lives better." I applaud the authors for bringing focus to this simple yet powerful solution to mending relationships."—Sridhar Sundaram,Dean of School of Business and Economics, California State University, Fullerton "Everyone who has ever had a broken relationship should read this book."—Rita Rudner, stand-up comedian and actress
