The Power of Letting Go

How to Drop Everything That’s Holding You Back

By: John Purkiss

Narrated by: Mark Meadows

Length: 4 hrs and 42 mins

Publisher's Summary

If you learn to let go,

your life will take off.

When you let go, you live intuitively. Everything flows, because you are no longer attached to things being a certain way, to being a certain person or always being right. What a relief. The irony is that when you feel stuck in any area of your life - career, relationships, purpose, health or money - letting go can seem very hard. You cling on for dear life just at the moment you need to take the leap.

In The Power of Letting Go, John Purkiss explains why we should let go and how we can do it, using proven techniques to make things happen.

The stages of letting go:

• Be present and enjoy each moment
• Let go of the thoughts that keep you stuck
• Let go of the pain that runs your life
• Surrender and tune in to something far more intelligent than your brain

Great Guide

I thought this made a great guide but it won't be my only tool I'll use to help let things go. I thought the personal stories were a nice touch but overall a little too much for me. I did feel I could relate to most of what was being said. I'd really like to give the rating a 3.5. I have listened to the audible a few times now and will most likely listen to it again.

a great read and resource for self growth!

loved it and I hope all people are willing to take the time to use these examples to live in the moment.

Teaches you to meditate in different scenarios but full of pseudoscience and anecdotal evidence

I took the book with a grain of salt, that grain being how to practice meditation and mindfulness throughout your day. However, the book relies heavily on anecdotal evidence, pseudoscience, and unsubstantiated claims, such as when the author is magically able to detect illnesses in other people by just looking at them. There is also an implicit claim that if others do harm unto you, it’s not their or anyone’s fault, but thinking that makes it so—clearly a view of someone who has lived a privileged life.

lot of information

lot of information here. must go slow and register multiple times. might be handy to have a physical copy. I really enjoyed it and hope it helps me. I also hope it helps you. many exercises.

3 Stars

It’s gives some decent strategies, but I was looking for something a little more in depth than the authors personal battles.

Highly Recommended Book for Life

This is an outstanding book making the subject of transformation and ‘letting go’ accessible for everyone. Inner work really is the ticket to creating huge change in your life and this book contains powerful techniques to help you to do that. I enjoyed the narrators voice too, he speaks easily and fluidly.

A great test of whether I really enjoyed an audible book is firstly whether I actually finish it (many half read books in my library). Secondly, if I love it I will then buy the hard copy to re-read and refer back to. I’m just off to do that now.

Read it and do the work 🙏🏻

loved this book

Was easy to listen, did not get bored. overall great book. read similar books before, but this one did stand out. really recommend.

Excellent audio book with great information

I found this audio book excellent on all levels.
It’s easy to follow, with excellent well laid out information.
The narrator was also very good and easy to listen too, I usually prefer books narrated by the author but in this instance it was read perfectly with great inference and rhythm he was reading from the heart so sounded perfect.
I found the text ideal for me not too in-depth or overly complicated although still very well explained.
Thank you
