This is an excellent meditation on letting go, that which all spiritual traditions preach, if they struggle teaching and leading in this area. Easy to follow with great advice.

Some parts I was sceptical of but I think the point is to surrender and let go of scepticism. Has started to change how I think but need to find ways to practically implement the teachings. Would like to come back to it after trying to practice the technique

I think this could be very helpful for ppl bit is also kind of woowoo and I was skeptical of some of the healing claims at the end
Possibly the best of its genre. If you want to read any book to help improve your well-being, this one is in the top 5. I found that many 'spiritual/self-improvement' are mostly theory. This one also explain the theory but provides the basis of a simple technical that truly helps when used regularly. I would recommend reading this book along with Tara Brach Radical Acceptance.
One of the things that I did not appreciate in the book is when the author says that using the technique for a long period of time allows to eat whatever chemical full food without being affected by it. Why I understand the theory of it, I don't appreciate the author's lack of sensitivity that eating such type of food is more than affecting or not your body; it affects the environment, animals, health of others etc. Other than that it's a book I plan to re-read regularly as the wisdom is practical and uplifting.

I started this book with an open mind and was moved by many of its themes. The concept that emotions are energies with varying frequencies truly resonated with me, and the discussion on surrender and letting go seemed remarkably aligned with Islamic teachings. The book provided a spiritual perspective on releasing emotional burdens, which I found valuable. However, my reading experience took a sharp turn when the author attempted to justify Hitler’s actions and even suggested that he could be unconditionally loved. This felt detached from reality and dismissive of real life suffering. While I understand the broader spiritual perspective, the way it was framed made me question the author’s judgment. It’s a common issue with certain spiritual books that emphasize detachment so much that they neglect real world consequences, making them incomplete without a sense of justice. There were also moments in the book that felt overly idealistic or even a bit delusional. While there’s value in emotional surrender, some of his claims felt like they ignored the complexity of human experiences. Overall it was a slow read and took me multiple attempts to keep coming back to it.
