Book Reviews of The Secret of Letting Go
Book Review: The Secret of Happiness
Summary: 4 Stars
I feel like the book is mis-titled. It should be titled "The Secret to Happiness - Letting Go".
This book is filled with wonderful instruction about how to let go of all the things that are holding us back from achieving happiness in our lives. The book is well written, easy to understand and filled with stories to illustrate or illuminate the point the author is making.
While it is easy to read, for some people it will take more than one reading to fully grasp the concepts Guy Finley is advocating. The book requires us to adopt a totally different mindset. That does not happen overnight. It requires some indepth study and contemplation. We need to develop an awareness of how we are blocking our quest for happiness - -how we get in our own way and become our own worst enemy.
We all have been programmed with lots of mis-information. We need to re-program our minds. To let go of all these negative thoughts. We must let go of fear, anger, resentment. This book tells us how to let go of all the things that keeps us stuck in our present circumstances.
But it will take accepting these truths and then acting on them to realize the true value of letting go. It is simple, but because of our prior programs which have become ingrained habits, it will not be easy.
Here are a few selected gems from the book:
"The more you depend on others to confirm you to yourself, the less real life you have of your own."
"Right isn't something you feel, it is something you are."
"Self-doubt is born out of being identified with the idea that how you feel about yourself depends upon how others feel about you."
There is a world of wisdom in this book. If you are tired of living in doubt and fear, tired of carrying around a lot of excess baggage then read this book and learn the secret of letting go.
This book has the information to change your life. Of course the information is only valuable if you accept it and start to live your life in accordance with the ideas given.
