Letting Go: The Pathway of Surrender Paperback – 3 Mar. 2014

I love David's books, and this one is no exception! It has taken my spiritual practice to a whole new and exciting level, something I now share within my Holistic business, empowering women. Highly recommend!!

This book is one of the best books I’ve ever read. I’ve been a huge fan of Eckhart Tolle for years, and this book (what I’ve read of it so far) takes more of a science-based approach on essentially the same teaching. It is in alignment with the teachings of Jesus, the Buddha, and even current research on neuroscience, the impact of traumatic events on the body and brain, and illustrates a beautiful way out of pain and struggle.I suffered from early childhood trauma and I’ve been working with a somatic therapist for a year, and this book has blown my mind! It ties everything together so, so well!! It is the perfect summary of how repressed and suppressed emotions create havoc over time, first internally and then externally — something I’m very familiar with. I believe that repressed traumatic memories (along with the emotions connected with those memories) is the reason why I developed all sorts of mysterious chronic health issues later in life. It started with chronic migraines at age 7 (I’ve had many brain scans and seen many specialists yet no cause has ever been found), food intolerances in my teens, asthma, eczema and severe gastrointestinal issues in my 20’s, not to mention the vast range of mental disorders (complex ptsd, dissociative disorders, borderline personality disorder, adhd, panic attacks, depression, anxiety, etcetera).I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone and everyone, whether your issues are similar to mine or not. It is one of my absolute favourites. If you like The Happiness Trap, A New Earth, The Untethered Soul, The Body Keeps The Score, Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors, No Bad Parts, Becoming Safely Embodied, or any similar books, you will most likely love this one too :-)

Fantastic book, very insightful. I would say one of the best books I’ve ever read, one I will probably read again. Excellent read.

Before discovering this book, my life was the complete opposite as to what I feel now. I was chained down by deep negative emotions which ultimately effected every bit of my reality. The worst thing was, I wasn't even aware of how I felt and why I was doing the things I did. I would plague myself with limiting beliefs. I would worry myself over every little thing and felt fear constantly. I would tense my eyebrows into a frown when I tried to sleep, as if in constant agony. I would feel "off" with the world without even knowing why. Life felt hard and I hated many aspects of it and eventually the pressure of such heavy (and often subconscious) emotions just got too much. I knew change needed to happen.After studying the teachings of Dr David Hawkins in this book (along with his others), my life has been completely changed. I have never felt such deep, profound peace before. Ever. This book inspired me to follow other teachings of the nature of reality, consciousness, emotions, psychology etc... and within a short period of time, my perspective and awareness of the world has evolved exponentially. It is by far the best thing I have ever come across in my life, I am so grateful for this book and everything it has taught me; It is simply not possible to truly describe the expansiveness of life now. The author's elegant and comprehensible writing style conveys ideas in a way that no hyper-technical knowledge is required in order to understand what is being conveyed. That being said, it is advisable to read it with an open mind, with the intent of wanting to understand and reflect upon what is being said. You may find it a little far-fetched at the beginning,almost surreal at first, but upon further reading and contemplating, you'll start to understand the true essence of what is being said. The penny drops and it hits you like a tonne of bricks.To anyone wishing for a profoundly deeper connection with your own 'inner-world', as well as the outer-world and live a much more fulfilling/magical life, please give this book a go. It is the most incredible piece of work I have ever come across; The level of peace and happiness that can (and has been) be obtained through said knowledge has no boundaries.

This is an excellent book and the author details the importances and benefits of “letting go”. I finished the book with a genuine need to put this into practice - but how?This is the “missing” chapter, it needs an extra chapter of offering how-to techniques - this one worked for this person, that one was better for another…etc. So I got to the end of the book saying “I really want to do this”, but not sure how…

What can I say, one of those life changing books. It will change the way you deal with perennial problems and the daily grind.

This is a must read i am a slow reader but I did finally manage to read the whole. The techniques do work it all parts of life and it has made a profound change in my life. I am likely to re read again when I need that extra support again.
