The Art of Letting Go: Stop Overthinking, Stop Negative Spirals, and Find Emotional Freedom (The Path to Calm)

Don’t bother. Repetitive childish anecdotes that don’t say much for example ‘imagine Samantha is in a car and someone cuts across her. She could say ‘what an idiot they don’t know how to drive’ but with mindfulness she would say ‘that person isn’t great at driving at that’s made me annoyed’ but she should be aware of her feelings’. A load of nonsense, save your money and don’t buy this

'The Art of Letting Go' is about dealing with mental clutter and it details how mental clutter can take many different forms. A few examples of which are obsessive thoughts, negative self-talk, excessive planning or an inability to focus on the present moment. It also discusses how perfectionism and a need for control are also common culprits of mental clutter that cause stress. It clearly explains the tried and tested technique of 'Brain Dumping' as the tool of choice to find peace of mind and improved productivity. Just about everyone will find it useful to be able to regularly clear the mind and function at their best. This is a useful book for anyone who ever feels they have so much on their plate that they just can't think straight.

I have nothing against the book. And while it was a good read with a lot of valid points and advice, I just want to say that letting go is easier said than done.

Great read and can be very helpful for some people

Schnelle Lieferung, das gut kam in einem guten Zustand an

Great read,highly recommend reading this book

This book brings different useful concepts together however, the fact that is self-published means that no editor's eyes reviewed the book before it went to print. That translates into numerous instances where the same sentences are repeated throughout sections. This makes the reader feels as if they are reading in a loop and that the essence of the concepts the sections convey is lost. The book would benefit to be stripped from these sentences loops which would enhance its conciseness.

I enjoyed the first 3 chapters especially the rest I felt a little reworded concepts, but overall a good book to read, lots of notes to take to remember in various difficult situations. I have given a 5 star for many new concepts I learnt through this book, dichotomy of control, Eisenhower matrix, detachment, etc.
