Have you ever come across a book that feels like, ‘This is it; I don’t need to read any more books after this one?’ A book that is so self-sufficient and gives you exactly what you need in the best possible way that you feel as though there is nothing more you need other than this because you finally got many of the answers you have been looking for for a long time! I can with full confidence say that I found this kind of book for myself, and I say so with 100 percent surety. The name of the book that I am talking about is "The Practice of Letting Go," written by William Frank Diedrich, Michael A. Limauro, and John Bailey.

So, what is this book about, and why did I like it so much? Well, to begin with, this is a book that will teach you to live in the most wonderful way possible. It will help you to let go of your old tendencies, your hurt, your pain, your regrets and guilt, and the biggest of all, your ego. It will help you get on the path to realizing your true self, stay in the present, and practice complete surrender. It will show and let you experience peace. This is not just a book, but a practical approach that, if you adopt it, will give you guaranteed results.

As the book has been written by three authors, each of them has shared in the book what they know and have experienced. For instance, the first part of the book deals with understanding emotions, accepting them, and eventually letting them go. There are exercises and introspective questions, coupled with personal experiences, that will help you understand the process of doing the same, and I must say it works because I tried it.

I loved the part where one of the authors says that the emotional reactions we feel and let out are not because of the situation or the person, but instead, they come out because of something that is deeply rooted within; the situation or the person is just a trigger, and we need to find out deep within the cause of that trigger; it is like working on cutting the roots of the tree rather than cutting the leaves.

I also totally resonated with the part where the book says that most of us have been taught that thoughts create feelings; however, it is feelings that create thoughts. Moreover, going even deeper, the authors say that our emotional state is the true cause of our negative thoughts. When we successfully let go of our emotional reaction to so-called triggers, and when we respond with a different set of emotions, we think different thoughts! Wonderful, isn’t it?

Furthermore, the book beautifully explains the difference between discernment and judgment, which is very helpful and gives a sort of subtle clarity. Then it talks about present-moment awareness, or being in the ‘Now,’ or simply, mindfulness. It teaches the art of pivoting negative thoughts to positive thoughts and practicing affirmations, and it also includes full-fledged meditation techniques, which I might say I tried and worked miraculously.

What I truly loved about the book is how simply the authors have put forward such powerful concepts. The effort that has gone into creating this book is visible. The book includes step-by-step guides, examples from their own lives that help us understand the subjects being discussed even better, practical tools and techniques, and much more. The language is so simple yet impactful. In my opinion, this book is not just supposed to be read but to be devoured and put into action. Owing to the tremendous amount of my liking for this book, I would love to give it 5 out of 5 stars. I would have given it even more if there was an option, as I did not find even a single dislike throughout the book.

I would recommend this book to everyone, especially those who want to consciously make an effort to change themselves, let go of their tendencies, and become a self-content individual who loves to stay in the present.
