Publisher's summary

If you learn to let go, your life will take off.

When you let go, you live intuitively. Everything flows, because you are no longer attached to things being a certain way, to being a certain person or always being right. What a relief. The irony is that when you feel stuck in any area of your life - career, relationships, purpose, health or money - letting go can seem very hard. You cling on for dear life just at the moment you need to take the leap.

In The Power of Letting Go, John Purkiss explains why we should let go and how we can do it, using proven techniques to make things happen.

The stages of letting go:

  • Be present and enjoy each moment.
  • Let go of the thoughts that keep you stuck.
  • Let go of the pain that runs your life.
  • Surrender and tune in to something far more intelligent than your brain.

The end of a relationship can be one of the most emotionally devastating things a person can go through, whether it’s on mutual, amicable terms or not. There are countless songs, poems, and films about breakups and heartbreak because it's an undeniably universal human experience. The silver lining? Precisely because this experience is so universal, there are no shortage of people to turn to for help and advice on how to weather the worst of it.

Great content, requires multiple listens though

There’s great content in this, however Not the best to listen too if you’re not actively taking notes. A lot of the tips and tactics you need to jot down which you can’t do if you’re walking or driving.

Great Guide

I thought this made a great guide but it won't be my only tool I'll use to help let things go. I thought the personal stories were a nice touch but overall a little too much for me. I did feel I could relate to most of what was being said. I'd really like to give the rating a 3.5. I have listened to the audible a few times now and will most likely listen to it again.

How it benefited me

I’m not a fan of reading books but after I read this book I let that mindset go I let so many things go and it’s already working I used to be very uncomfortable when I meet new people but now I’m getting better 👍🏻

EXCELLENT.

Truely took me on a journey. I am so grateful for this book. sometimes you have to find the information when you're ready to hear it, and it was apparently the perfect time. In summary: who told you to think what you are thinking? Why do you still believe that?
10/10

I don't know what to say

I don't know what to say. This is my second book on understanding the ego (not the Freudian one). My first book was "Ego Is The Enemy."

I mean I really liked this book and I would recommend it for anyone who is interested in a deep and honest self-analysis. Or anyone who feels like they're carrying excess baggage from within. This book will help that person shine a light on those baggages and examine the nature of them. Comparing this book with the first one I read, I have to say I like this one a little more regarding the flow of the book.

The book is broken down into 5 digestible chapters with clear and eloquent verbage. At times, you may find yourself pausing and rewinding the audio back to write down notes and/or quotes that catch your ear. At other times, you may pause the audio and give yourself a moment to process what you just heard or try to relate to the words read. I know I did.

One of my biggest takeaways is that I am not what I think and I am not what I feel. I am not my name nor am I my physical attributes. Yet I am capable of being anything, ranging from positive to negative notions of character. Ultimately, I just am. Or to put it more concretely, I am an observer.

My journey continues and I look forward to learning more about mySelf and others. Bon voyage. Hopefully, I'll see you during our travels.
