PRE-ORDER THE ACCOMPANYING JOURNAL LEARN TO LET GO NOW
'Life-changing' - Sara Makin, Founder & CEO of Makin Wellness
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 into Something Far More
Intelligent than Your Brain

The Sunday Times Top 10 Bestseller From the author of the
phenomenal multi-million copy bestseller The Things You Can See
Only When You Slow Down "Hearing the words 'be good to yourself
first, then to others' was like being struck by lightning." Many of
us respond to the pressures of life by turning inwards and ignoring
problems, sometimes resulting in anxiety or depression. Others
react by working harder at work, at school or at home, hoping that
this will make ourselves and the people we love happier. But what
if being yourself is enough? Just as we are advised on airplanes to
take our own oxygen first before helping others, we must first be
at peace with ourselves before we can be at peace with the world
around us. In this beautiful follow-up to his international
bestseller The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down, Buddhist
monk Haemin Sunim turns his trademark wisdom and kindness to
self-care, arguing that only by accepting yourself - and the flaws
which make you who you are - can you have compassionate and
fulfilling relationships with your partner, family and friends.
"Even products labelled 'limited edition' are made on a production
line with hundreds that are exactly the same. But there is only one
you in the world." *** "Haemin writes beautifully and simply...
these vital life lessons resonate deeply and easily" Miranda Hart
"The world could surely use a little more love, a little more
compassion, and a little more wisdom. In Love for Imperfect Things,
Haemin Sunim shows us how to cultivate all three, and to find
beauty in the most imperfect of things-including your very own
self" Susan Cain, New York Times bestselling author of Quiet
"Heartwarming, calming and simple. But also filled with wisdom and
powerful truths that will teach us to love ourselves first in order
to transform our relationships with our loved ones" Hector Garcia,
author of IKIGAI - The Japanese secret to a long and happy life "A
wonderful book to accompany The Things You Can See... page by page,
he shows you how to reclaim your freedom and your life" Professor
Mark Williams, author of the bestselling Mindfulness "A real
treasure. It teaches us that compassion is at the heart of healing
. . . starting with ourselves. I highly recommend this book"
Christiane Northrup, MD, #1 New York Times bestselling author of
Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom "You can be the most amazing human
being in the world and everyone sees rays of light, love, and
genius when they look at you, but if you yourself don't know it,
all of that external admiration doesn't matter one bit. Haemin
Sunim teaches you ways to love yourself first, instead of loving
the idea of other people loving you. It makes a world of
difference" Marc and Angel Chernoff, New York Times bestselling
authors of Getting Back to Happy

The instant New York Times bestseller | A Washington Post Notable
Book | One of NPR's Best Books of the Year "Expert storytelling . .
. [Pollan] masterfully elevates a series of big questions about
drugs, plants and humans that are likely to leave readers thinking
in new ways." -New York Times Book Review From #1 New York Times
bestselling author Michael Pollan, a radical challenge to how we
think about drugs, and an exploration into the powerful human
attraction to psychoactive plants-and the equally powerful taboos.
Of all the things humans rely on plants for-sustenance, beauty,
medicine, fragrance, flavor, fiber-surely the most curious is our
use of them to change consciousness: to stimulate or calm, fiddle
with or completely alter, the qualities of our mental experience.
Take coffee and tea: People around the world rely on caffeine to
sharpen their minds. But we do not usually think of caffeine as a
drug, or our daily use as an addiction, because it is legal and
socially acceptable. So, then, what is a "drug"? And why, for
example, is making tea from the leaves of a tea plant acceptable,
but making tea from a seed head of an opium poppy a federal crime?
In This Is Your Mind on Plants, Michael Pollan dives deep into
three plant drugs-opium, caffeine, and mescaline-and throws the
fundamental strangeness, and arbitrariness, of our thinking about
them into sharp relief. Exploring and participating in the cultures
that have grown up around these drugs while consuming (or, in the
case of caffeine, trying not to consume) them, Pollan reckons with
the powerful human attraction to psychoactive plants. Why do we go
to such great lengths to seek these shifts in consciousness, and
then why do we fence that universal desire with laws and customs
and fraught feelings? In this unique blend of history, science, and
memoir, as well as participatory journalism, Pollan examines and
experiences these plants from several very different angles and
contexts, and shines a fresh light on a subject that is all too
often treated reductively-as a drug, whether licit or illicit. But
that is one of the least interesting things you can say about these
plants, Pollan shows, for when we take them into our bodies and let
them change our minds, we are engaging with nature in one of the
most profound ways we can. Based in part on an essay published
almost twenty-five years ago, this groundbreaking and singular
consideration of psychoactive plants, and our attraction to them
through time, holds up a mirror to our fundamental human needs and
aspirations, the operations of our minds, and our entanglement with
the natural world.
