Anyone who has practiced any of the planet's spiritual traditions will know that the key lies in letting go, but how to carry it out? In this original, sincere and practical guide, Peter Russell shows us that the things we don't cling to are often not tangible problems, but thoughts, emotions, interpretations, beliefs, or expectations; that is, they are not reality, they only exist in our mind. We can strip them of their power and release them, simply by making a small change of mind. Russell summarizes this relinquishing in a series of steps consisting of accepting, becoming aware of, acknowledging or befriending what we tend to avoid. This paradoxical practice generates peace of mind, new perspectives, and wisdom in action. In a turbulent time like ours, this is a tool available to everyone.
