New Book Examines the Blame Game of Life It’s the Woman You Gave Me Shon Hyneman set out to tackle a difficult problem: why we blame one another in our relationships, marriages, and lives. A past. Everyone has one, it defines who we are, but we can not dwell on it. Shon advocates learning from our past mistakes, progressing forward with our end goals, and ultimately living a happier and more fulfilled life. Blaming other individuals for our past only keeps us rooted in something that we can not change. By focusing on moving beyond our past experiences, Shon’s book will open reader’s minds to embracing their future goals. Writing from his own past experiences, Shon shows readers that playing the “Blame Game” is toxic to any relationship. Those who are able to truly forgive others for our past transgressions are able to rise about this “Blame Game” and Shon shows readers the best ways to do just that. Encouraged by his wife to write down his strategies and share them with others, he wants to inspire others to rise above their toxic outlook on life and embrace their dreams. When asked what he felt like after finishing the book he said: “Like a millionaire!”
