|
However, the core message of the book is to learn to let go, and in this way it is very helpful to heal yourself from any past wounds, whether coming from a relationship or from any other source.
"50 ways to let go and be happy" is an easy-to-read book. It looks into issues of why we hold on to the past, and helps us to know ourselves better.
The book is divided into short chapters, each of them with useful questions to help you see your personal situation clearly and to take the first steps towards healing.
On happiness
Chuck Spezzano's book examines where happiness comes from. It points to the fact that we look for happiness outside, wanting other people to make us feel happy and building resentment towards them when our needs are not met.
However, all along one's happiness is entirely up to oneself. Happiness is a gift to ourselves and to those around us.
The ego
Spezzano explains that our ego keeps us stuck. The ego wants us to be right, and being right becomes more important than having peace and love with those around us.
Bits and pieces
These are some interesting bits that you can find in this soothing book:
- Techniques to heal, like 'burning' the feelings.
- "Do you love someone enough to let them go?"
- Forgiveness: "Forgiveness concludes unfinished business. It ties up loose ends and allows for a new beginning."
- Keeping expectations is a way of wanting our needs satisfied and holding on to the past. We can stop placing expectations on others when we notice how we feel when others place expectations on us.
- Sometimes we give to take, again as a way of having our needs met. We can choose to give wholeheartedly, just for the pleasure of giving, without really expecting anything in return.
Stop
"50 ways to let go and be happy" poses an interesting question that, at the point of the book where you will find it, may make you stop and think: "What is it that you want?", Chuck Spezzano asks as he helps you become more clear with yourself.
Whether or not you are suffering from a relationship break up, I would recommend this book to you as it provides helpful insight into relationships of any kind.
Its advice brings us peace.
