There's a quote that came across my radar that I tend to fall back about the past, future, and present which equals to depression, anxiety, and peace.

I like how the author talks about moving despite your circumstances. Some people have to go to counseling or self heal. Some people have a bad marriage or relationship. Or even an abusive household. Good advice on healing.

Although this book is a well organized guide to help one not overthink and includes many handy exercises, I found it more of a review of what I already knew rather than an enlightening book that would teach me something I hadn't considered or didn't know to do. The value of this book depends on how much the reader has already read on this topic. For many it would be a good starter book as it is thorough. I have read a lot on this topic and found it more of a reminder book - which does have value - rather than an opportunity to learn new ideas. I did find this author's use of thinking of what you do as your legacy a unique thought - a new thought for me.

This is a book I'll revisit, as it provides practical tools to help identify anxiety triggers and turn them into something productive, as well as lifestyle changes to help mitigate stress and that hamster-wheel of overthinking. I think what I appreciated most about The Art of Letting Go was the explanation of how and why anxiety builds into the monster in our minds that so many of us suffer from. In so doing, it not only demystifies anxiety, it also takes away so much of its power because you realize that this issue is extremely common and totally surmountable. It may be silly to admit to, but I also liked the inspirational quotes. Willie Nelson's was my favorite!

My wife is a worrier, and I’m someone who replays every conversation. Together, we both dwell way too much on the past. BUT WE NEEDED THIS BOOK TO GIVE US THE PERMISSION TO PUT AN END TO IT!

We started a couple of days ago doing some walking and deep breathing and I feel calmer already.
