Let It Go: My Extraordinary Story - From Refugee to Entrepreneur to Philanthropist

Product Information

Hawkins says, “In some cases, it seems in retrospect that there was actually this unconscious purpose behind the event, as though our unconscious knew that something important had to be learned and, painful as it was, it was the only way it could be brought into experience. He shares some great stories as examples, although there could be fewer while still getting the points across.

This book was a kind of “default choice” because of the fact that the audio version was available when I needed another book. The most annoying this is that he discusses many things but doesn’t go into how to properly practice these concepts. As such, I was often annoyed and angered by what I consider over simplified and naive arguments encouraging forgiveness. The first half of this book has some incredibly useful advice for learning to let go of anxiety and negativity, but the second half is a bit too new age-y for me.I like the real life stories peppered throughout the book and found one family's solution to splitting up the parents' possessions especially good. After reading a few books on mindfulness, I got the idea that the secret behind staying in the present is letting go of the past.

This unique book is the first to fully explore the history of autism – from the first descriptions of autistic-type behaviour to the present day.

stupid, delusional if you will, and the fact that he uses Mother Theresa and Ghandi as examples takes some credibility away from him, in my opinion. I'm happy to recommend this book for anyone who has to go through the process of getting rid of a lot of possessions and is having a hard time with it. It's time to do this so that you can move into that house that doesn't take all your time and resources to do the maintenance and upkeep. The only downsizing book I’ve ever read that actually addresses the psychology and emotions connected to letting go of possessions, particularly after the death of a loved one or other major life event.

While there are definitely nuggets of useful insight to ponder, I couldn't help but notice some padding. Admittedly, I was a bit skeptical at first, since Jakes as a pastor understandably delivers a Christian-based message, but it's not at all heavy handed (except for a chapter or so that sounded rather like an indictment of the church, or at least churches favoring a "holier than thou" approach to their congregations). In this step you will be able to take an inventory in writing of people who have offended you and forgive them one by one. I’m not sure if it was exactly what I am looking for right now, but it was packed with super useful information if you are helping a loved one downsize or downsizing after a loved one passes away, something I hope not to worry about for a long time. As I'm trying to declutter and Marie Kondo my way through our house, I wanted a little extra motivation and checked out this book.His daily morning show The Potter's Touch and weekly broadcast The Potter's House air on Trinity Broadcasting Network and Black Entertainment Television, as well as in Europe and South America. Learning to forgive and set myself free from that bondage has been a decade long journey and I believe im still learning but this book broke down ways that forgiveness is possible and channeling anger in a healthy way whilst not allowing it to control you. The biggest revelation for me was that objects you own can either reflect the image you want to present to the world (and/or your closest family and friends) or they can reflect something opposite to your intent.
