Brought to you by Penguin.

Think of letting things go as setting them free.
Amid the relentless cycle of news, social media, emails and texts, it can be hard to know when, if ever, you can take a break. In this insightful book, renowned Zen Buddhist monk, Shunmyo Masuno, offers us a radical message: sometimes the best thing you can do is nothing at all.

You will learn 99 empowering tips and truths that will help you ease the pressure, including how to say no and accept that you cannot do what you cannot do, that social media is a tool and nothing more, that decisions should be made in the light of day โ€“ not rushed into โ€“ and that we should take more breaks the busier we become.
How to Let Things Go will teach you how to relinquish control and find a way to a calmer, more fulfilling life.
