I think it will be one that I hold onto and keep practicing the exercises to continue a process that is so much healthier and healing. If we do something frequently, we start to recognize useful patterns. Experience provides us with generalizations about what's likely to happen next.

Let go of your attachment to the past. The past is over and cannot be changed. Let it go and focus on the present moment.His teachings around mindfulness are generally oversimplified and cover only a subset of known mindfulness techniques used in buddhist practices and in mindfulness psychology. The former he seems to not really like even though he reuses the classical anchor meditation in different versions in his exercises (selling each as different or not understanding the common denominator). The latter he obviously has no clue about. He seems to be largely into a very spiritual and traditional hinduism Vedic practice and transcendental meditation. His explanations for why those practices and classic meditation techniques work are largely useless and oversimplified. people who accept themselves as they are do not feel the need to hide qualities which some people may not like. I liked the ideas in this book, even if it had a lot of "And I learnt this from an esteemed Indian spiritual guide" going on. The exercises could have been fleshed out more with concrete examples. One of the exercises I found useful was the one about thinking what about a goal you want to achieve: Let go of your need to judge others. Everyone is on their own journey. Let go of your need to judge others and focus on your own path. This was a fast easy read and is a positive way to frame up opportunity for us be happier and more successful taking away stuff that detracts from where we are going. These ten ideas are from notes found while reading about the book …

What annoys you about them is something you have suppressed in yourself and projected onto them. In the words of C. Joybell C., we’re all stars that think they’re dying until we realize we’re collapsing into supernovas – to become more beautiful than ever before. It often takes the contrast of pain to completely appreciate what we have, it often takes hate to incite self-recognition. Sometimes the way light enters us is, in fact, through the wound. 5.”

Let go of your need to be right. It's okay to be wrong sometimes. In fact, it's often a good thing. Let go of your need to be right and be open to learning new things. we manifest our beliefs, not our desires. Once you are complete, your beliefs and desires become one. Then your desires start to become reality. one of the things that disturbed me the most was the fact that, by word count, approx. the 3 contents (explanations, excercises and successfull examples) were distributed equally. I prefer books with less examples and more theory. The explanations of the practical excercises were not fully understandable for beginners like me. Cómo dejar ir a alguien?

if you are developing a new product or service, it's best to keep an open mind. It may evolve into something you have never imagined. I shouldn't fight against the huge waves, as they would always be stronger than me and push me under. I should just collaborate with them. There is also a lot of privilege in the examples (“while vacationing on the French Riviera...”; “studying under a swami”) that may be off-putting to people.El mensaje del libro está bien y la mayoría de capítulos tienen ejemplos, lo que hace que sea más llevadera la lectura. Aún así, es un libro muy práctico y considero que algunos de los ejercicios que propone deberían ser supervisados por un especialista porque dependiendo de la persona y sus circunstancias le puede ser más o menos útil. The truth is, when someone doesn’t want you, no reason matters. No amount of fixing could change that and actually, there isn’t anything that needs to be fixed because nothing was wrong or missing in the first place. You have always been wholly you, before or after them, including all the flaws and imperfections that make you unique. So if you ever feel the need to redeem or validate yourself after being rejected, please don’t because no one can take anything away from you by not wanting you and you aren’t born to prove yourself to anyone.” I would have given a three, but it was a good meditation book for me in the shower, so a four. It helped me through some very dark days when I would just not want to do anything. Not a bad book, especially if you seem to blame everyone else for your life not being the way you want it to be. In the strangest, most inexplicable way, we need those lovers that we never fully let go of. Because each one of them represents a whole entire world within ourselves.”

The Power of Letting Go brings together a number of key principles that come up for anyone who is on the journey of self-enquiry and development. At some point, the choice becomes clear, whether to hold on or let go. I noticed that many of the people I met were trying to market themselves (to me) but didn't know how.

Sit and relax, and bring your attention to your breath. Let go of your fear of the future. The future is uncertain, but that doesn't mean it's going to be bad. Let go of your fear and trust that everything will work out.

constant reminders about “force above us”. that this force, universe, god - call it anyway you wish - have the ultimate power over people’s lives. of course, it is author’s worldview, but he presents it as an ultimate truth, but there are no proofs to it. moreover, it is an ultimate topic of philosophy, but if we suggest that there is no “higher power”, what is it that guide us through life? answer to this, is we ourselves do this. there is no “plan” or “fate” that will magically work if we step down of our expectations. only other people with their decisions, which outcomes will affect us the same way our decisions affect other people’s life (“butterfly effect”). ultimately, the only thing we should learn is to accept, that it doesn’t matter how detailed plan we got, something won’t go the way we want it. and it is not destiny. I'm not talking about flattery. I'm talking about looking for what we appreciate in people and then focussing on that. It helps them feel good about themselves and to flourish"
