When are apologies appropriate? And when should we rather refrain from saying "sorry"?
Do women apologise more than men? Has the act of apologising changed over time? What influence does our life on social networks have on our culture of apologising?
We all apologise all the time: "Sorry, but I didn't mean to offend you", "Sorry, I need to get through", "Sorry, but ..." Tara-Louise Wittwer finds it annoying that a quick apology often comes so much more easily to her than "I disagree". And that she so often feels guilty even though there is no reason to.
In her new book, Tara-Louise Wittwer analyses our culture of apology astutely and humorously. Sorry, but... it's time we apologised less and stood by our opinions with confidence!
