"Each day", writes Hugh Prather, "we walk forth with clean clothes, clean hair, clean teeth, but with a mind stuffed with worthless anxieties, dull resentments, stale outlooks, toxic prejudices, and an endless array of shabby self-images. We haven't even bothered to sweep out the mental junk we picked up yesterday, not to speak of the debris we have been hauling around for a lifetime. What difference does it make if a body is always scrubbed, detoxified, and all its surfaces germ-free if no living thing that the body encounters is comforted?"
In The Little Book of Letting Go, Prather offers a simple, three-step process for shedding our prejudices, preconceptions, and pre-judgments, and facing each moment with freshness and excitement. In this accessible, friendly book, he first explains why it is essential that readers learn to let go. He then takes readers on a thirty-day plan of cleansing the mind, releasing the spirit, and lifting the soul in chapters that include: "Letting Go of Mental Pollutants", "Letting Go of Emotional Fixation","Letting Go of Misery", "Letting Go of Prediction and Control", and "Letting Go of Conflict Addiction".
"Letting go is the bottom line key to happiness," he says, "and I've been working on it, writing about it, and teaching it for more than twenty years."
Timely, useful, funny and easy to read, The Little Book of Letting Go is sure to become a self-help classic.
