"Stomach stress gurgles are no match for this spinning rolodex of chill pills." Neil Pasricha, #1 bestselling author of The Book of Awesome and The Happiness Equation
Life is stressful as f*ck. But it doesn’t have to be.
It’s no wonder you can’t calm down: your to-do list is as long as your arm, your bank balance keeps dropping, you feel guilty for not calling your parents more often and there always seems to be a big deadline to meet at work. You need a serious breather—but you can barely find time to shower, let alone to exercise or meditate.
In Let That Sh*t Go, Kate Petriw and Nina Purewal share the wisdom they’ve gained though decades of practising and teaching others to find peace of mind no matter how busy they are. Learn to put your life in perspective, take each day one step at a time and steal moments of calm amid the chaos. And remember: it’s not worth holding onto that sh*t.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Purewal and Petriw, founders of, respectively, meditation workshops Pure Minds and Mind Matters, lay out strategies for using mindfulness to reduce stress in their amicable debut. The authors ground their methods for finding inner peace in practices such as deep breathing, observational thinking (which fights against a "chatty mind"), and counting one's blessings. Most of the tips are quick and easy, such as breathing exercises one can do on a commute, "observing-mind" mindfulness for eating ("find peace while you chew"), and taking a 15-second "restorative break." They also recommend making time to vent (such as a phone call with a friend where you "set an actual timer and then bitch your heart out") and working to overcome blame in relationships ("When you blame, you are handing the reins to someone else and giving up control of your own life"). Above all, they push that readers should acknowledge suppressed emotions, "express them in every way," and then let them go. While many of the concepts are simple, together they make for an appealing guide to daily mindfulness and stress relief. Those who liked Jen Sincero's You Are a Badass will enjoy this.
Customer Reviews
Lost credibility
I actually like the book so far (haven’t finished it yet), but they wrote something about an experiment on water having emotions that wasn’t even scientificly proven. So unfortunately the book just lost credibility for me.
