About this deal

But since we project all our negativity onto others, it’s responsible for aggression, hatred, and even wars. #2. Why You Want to Let Go 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: Before reading it, I suspected it to be a simple introduction to mindfulness techniques, but it is very simple at that and even worse: it consists of a mixture of misleading pop psychology ideas (amongst others relying on Katie Byron whose work I personally don't resonate at all with) with some useful and reasonable experiences around mindfulness meditation. But even his description of meditation is connected with overly exaggerated effects such as "no thoughts" - even buddhist monks still have thoughts most of the time ;) and in all his examples, he only ended up with at most a few minutes without thoughts. I also didn't understand why one even should chase that experience so desperately? Why do we have so much trouble learning how to let go of someone we love? We like to hold on to things, situations and especially people because they fulfill our need for certainty. Certainty is one of the Six Human Needs that drive every decision we make. Letting go and moving on from a relationship often entails a large amount of uncertainty. Even if your relationship has reached its conclusion or one or both of you are unhappy , there is still an amount of certainty there that can make it hard to know when to let go of a relationship .

We may also use the past to justify our decisions . Remember when you were rejected by several potential mates in high school or college? Those instances could make you hold on to a partner – even one who is not good for you – because you are afraid you won’t find anyone else. Those memories justify everything for you. When you’re unable to let go, those memories become a part of your story and work against you. Holding on is a natural human instinct – and it’s also a critical way that we stop ourselves from reaching our goals. Because ultimately, not letting go of someone you love can harm you: i t prevents you from achieving your true potential. Why is letting go so hard? 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. 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.Please be aware that the delivery time frame may vary according to the area of delivery - the approximate delivery time is usually between 1-2 business days. There is not so much information about him, and when I Googled his name, “SpiritualWiki” came up instead of Wikipedia. Needless to say, that’s not necessarily a bad thing, so let’s dissect this book. #1. The Three (Bad) Ways We Handle Feelings there are many reasons why people could disagree with you and still be rational : their values might be different from yours, you and they could have different assumptions,they might have had a different experience to you, they might have information that you don't have or that you have chosen to ignore. Because emotions emit a vibrational energy field, they affect and determine the people who are in our lives surrender isn't the same as giving up or doing nothing. It just means that we stop trying to make the world conform to our fixed ideas about how things should be.

Toward the end of Letting Go, there was a list of questions and answers, which felt like a big marketing promo. He overgeneralizes, confuses correlation with causation, and commits the ultimate sin for anyone who aspires to the title of a scientist: he accepts (and peddles) as “true” what has not been proven to be true. The stress and anger caused by our unpleasant feelings cannot be coped with through escapism or suppression. And if that weren’t enough, he adds a little later that some of them can also see the bio-energy field around people called the “aura”. Once we are able to feel the emotion and then release it, we also release all the negative influence it has over us. #4. How To Let Go

Tracking delivery

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 … It’s somewhat surprising that an author who talks about accepting negative emotions also says we should focus on positives, which is useful only up to a certain point and it’s an otherwise pop-psychology myth.
