More About This Book

Overview


"Letting go is the bottom-line key to happiness," states Hugh Prather. And in The Little Book of Letting Go, he offers a simple three-step process for shedding prejudices, preconceptions, and prejudgments and facing each moment with openness and enthusiasm. Prather first explains why it is essential to learn to let go and then outlines a 30-day plan for spiritual renewal. Finally, he offers specific techniques for getting a grip on habitual reactions, the need to control, and the addiction to conflict.

Editorial Reviews

"Our lives are filled with useless battles because our minds are filled with useless thoughts," according to Hugh Prather, the best-selling author of 15 books, the most famous of which is Notes to Myself. His latest release is The Little Book Of Letting Go: A Revolutionary 30-day Program To Cleanse Your Mind, Lift Your Spirit And Replenish Your Soul.

He says that "failure to let go can eat up every small chance we have to be happy," and he filled his book with "releases," which are simple exercises for letting go. The releases first bring into awareness what is being held on to, and then shows how to let it go. None of them require any tools or equipment other than a willing mind. He begins with an exercise on "letting go of the fear of letting go."

Other releases cover mental pollutants, emotional fixation, misery, control, inner conflicts, negative honesty, the ego mind, and spiritual specialness.

Prather emphasizes the role of thought and provides suggestions for identifying the ones that can trigger negative emotions. He calls these the "T-thoughts." The releases are designed to help you let go of the T-thoughts and unclutter your mind. While simple to do, the releases are exceptionally powerful and most are immediately effective. Readers can do the releases in the order presented, or pick and choose among them.

"There are only three things you need to let go of," Prather says, "judging, controlling, and being right. Release these three and you will have the whole mind and twinkly heart of a child." He combines humor and real-life stories with straight-forward and easy-to read writing to make The Little Book Of Letting Go practical as well as pleasurable. It's essential reading for all those who wish to rediscover their twinkly hearts.

    Pleasant and Motivating

    This book has some insightful and meaningful messages. Yet it was a book that was easy to put down. It's good for bedtime and early morning reading to end the day and to set the pace for the whole day. The message is something that everyone needs to hear.

    Simple and to the point!

    This book helps us understand the difference between the ego and the true self. It shows that the problems we have are caused by holding onto our selfish desires, and not caused by someone or something else. And then it helps you go through the process of letting things go. It is really a wonderful book that I cannot say enough about. If you want to know how this relates to all sorts of other things that we do, I also suggest the truly amazing book called, 'The Ever-Transcending Spirit' by Toru Sato. Instead of going into this process of letting go in detail, it explains all of this in a larger context. These books really complement each other. I hope you get as much joy out of these books as I did.

    A self help book that really helped!

    I was pretty jaded about self help books, but this one actually helped me let go of a very bad situation. I had the feeling the author knew what he was talking about, the ideas made alot of sense, and I'm still using the letting go techniques.
