One new perception, one fresh thought, one act of surrender, one change of heart, one leap of faith, can change your life forever. I seem to be in a Robert Holden kick these days, and for good reason I think: this guy obviously knows what he's talking about. He practices what he preaches, and it seeps through every word, every sentence he writes. He is honest and transparent, and doesn't hide potential challenges to his philosophy.Because, let's get this straight: Holden's work presents a philosophy of life. It may be wrapped in self-help paper, but dig a little and you have a fascinating, and eminently positive, conception I seem to be in a Robert Holden kick these days, and for good reason I think: this guy obviously knows what he's talking about.

He is honest and transparent, and doesn't hide potential challenges to his philosophy.Because, let's get this straight: Holden's work presents a philosophy of life. It may be wrapped in self-help paper, but dig a little and you have a fascinating, and eminently positive, conception of human beings and human life.I think that is a great place to start if you're new to Holden. It is comprised of short, punchy essays that develop an idea or a topic, such as feeling stuck, relationships, and struggling.

It is filled with inspirational quotes and stories of transformation, of people who were just a miserable as you feel and discovered that there was a better way.However, I'm starting to hit a wall with Holden: as much as I am inspired by his writing, I'm having a hard time finding ways to do what he suggests: letting go of guilt, fear and expectations. He routinely suggests to release control and give it up to God (not the Christian God but rather a general idea of divinity).

Not being especially religious, I sometimes have trouble relating to this advice, but I admit that everyone needs some spiritual nourishing in their life. So here I am, trying to understand this concept of God and trying to give my struggles up.There's also a lot of talk about mediation, but little instruction on how to do it. In Holden's world, it seems to be simply a matter of sitting down somewhere and being still.

And it might just be as simple as that, but a single paragraph giving basic instructions would be appreciated, if only in appendix.If you want a quick inspirational read, I strongly.
