Publisher's summary

Your mind should be your safe zone, not the noisiest place in the world. Restore your inner peace. If you are always on edge and unable to relax, this book is for you. Choose the pace that you want to live life at—you do have a choice. Control your thoughts, life, and control happiness.

The Art of Letting Go is all about organizing the mess in your mind. It's about how to stop focusing on the past that is over, or the future that may never occur, and being present in the situations that you can actually have agency in. It's about how to rewire the anxious connections in your brain and switch your mental programming and beliefs. It's about understanding that our brains are made for 10,000 BC and that you can afford to let your guard down.

It's about trusting that things will be okay, how to control your self-talk, and transform your internal worldview.

Nick Trenton grew up in rural Illinois and is quite literally a farm boy. His best friend growing up was his trusty companion Leonard the dachshund. RIP Leonard.

Eventually, he made it off the farm and obtained a BS in economics, followed by an MA in behavioral psychology.

Here, he provides psychologically proven tips to get out of your mind and into your life:

  • Practicing nonjudgment and observation over your emotions.
  • Untangling the toxic beliefs of urgency and danger in your brain.
  • How to use brain dumping in the most calming way possible.
  • Exercises for self-distancing and externalization: powerful psychological techniques.
  • Defeating your drive for perfection while finding a drive for excellency.

Forgiveness and healthy boundaries

This book helped me, understand myself better when it comes to my feelings and emotions and how to forgive myself when making not the best decisions in my life. In addition, it gave me many ideas to understand others' actions by placing myself in the other person's shoes. It gaves the readers step-by-step actions to have healthy boundaries.

Excellent advice and very practical!

As an individual in recovery with 5 years sober I feel like this book aligns very well with any 12 step program. I love the practical applications and examples provided throughout.

Great For People Who Struggle with Over Thinking

I felt it was hard to get into right away because I felt the narrator was hard to listen to. The book itself is excellent and I'm glad I pushed through and listened to the whole thing.
