Overview
A thirty-day program for achieving "spiritual purification" recommends letting go as the key to happiness and shows readers how to cast off the prejudices, preconceptions, and prejudgements that imprison them. Original. 40,000 first printing.
Publishers Description
"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. |

 | Complete waste of time Dec 28, 2008 |
I really tried to keep reading this book but it is just a waste of time. Here is what the book tells you: If you are thinking about something that is upsetting to you, just stop and think about something else.
There, now you don't have to buy the book. | | |  | A Good Tool Sep 24, 2008 |
| This book has helped me find peace by pointing out the useless things I try to control as well as the fruitless battles we all fight on a day to day basis. | | | | I am awakening to a better self, thank you! Feb 24, 2008 |
| I came across this book at my cousin's home on a morning that I was feeling stuck. I decided to read an insert in the book and was unable to put it down. It has helped me to continue on a path that I have been touching on for a little while now, but not quite sure how to achieve. It is an excellent tool to help you stay in the moment. | | |  | Everyone should have this book! Jul 12, 2007 |
This book is one of the best easy reading supports. Like any other support system in your life it should be a consistant, easy access tool for long or short term disturbances. You can't go wrong with this one.

Or, are you allowing your ego to get in your way of being connected?
A great passage in this book is:
"After the great rains, the lion was faced with crossing the river that had encircled him. Swimming was not in his nature, but it was either cross or die. The lion roared and charged the river, almost drowning before he retreated. Many more times he attacked the water, and each time he failed to cross. Exhausted, the lion lay down, and in his quietness he heard the river say, 'Never fight what isn't here.'
Cautiously, the lion looked up and asked, 'What isn't here?'
'Your enemy isn't here,' answered the river. 'Just as you are a lion, I am merely a river.'
Now the lion sat very still and studied the ways of the river. After a while, he walked to where a certain current brushed against the shore, and stepping in, floated to the other side."
Some of my most favorite quotes from this book are:
1. "We only need to be as we were created -- effortless,present, and free."
2. "Guilty and remorseful thoughts do not help, heal, or comfort the person you think you have hurt. In effect, you are simply making the same mistake all over again; you attacked this person; now you are attacking yourself. Attack is the problem, not the answer."
3. "What do I believe that makes these circumstances important enough to be upset?"
4. "If I imagine this situation deteriorating or this person's behavior getting worse, what specifically do I see happening to me?"
5. "Some things are simple, and here's one of them: You can either relax and let go of your life, in which case you will know peace. Or you can try to control your life, in which case you will know war."
6. "Awareness, more than any other factor, is the key to cleansing your mind and making it whole."
7. "True communication is remembering that everything is relationship --- that, regardless of the appearance, no one stands alone."
8. "I see what I decide and react as I choose."
9. "As someone said to me recently, 'The next time you think there is some situation you can control, try doing it when you have diarrhea.'"
I chose this book because being fully in the present moment, no matter my history or lack thereof with my interlocutor, gives me choice.
As I read this book, I was happy to have found many places where I agreed with Hugh Prather, and some places where I wrote in the margins that I disagree.
One part of this book that was of particular interest to me was the exercise that Prather takes readers through in how to be socially involved with difficult people (breath your way into responding to who you are, in the presence of who that 'difficult' person is).
This is a book that I didn't want to put on the book shelf, amongst the books that I've read, because I felt compelled to look back through many pages, where I've highlighted things that I will apply in my life. | | | Write your own review about The Little Book of Letting Go: A Revolutionary 30-Day Program to Cleanse Your Mind, Lift Your Spirit and Replenish Your Soul
