If you learn to let go, you will learn to live.

When you let go, you live intuitively with a great deal more ease and flow because you are no longer attached to things being a certain way, to being a certain person or always being right. What a relief. The irony is that when you feel stuck in any part of your life - career, relationships, purpose, health or money - it becomes increasingly hard to let go - you cling on for dear life just at the moment you need to take a leap of faith.

In THE POWER OF LETTING GO, John Purkiss combines both the why and the how to let go, with excellent practices that help convert the spark of hope and desire into action.

There are four stages to letting go:

Be Present and Enjoy Each Moment

Let Go of the Thoughts that Keep You Stuck

Let Go of the Pain that Runs Your Life

Surrender and Tune into Something Far More Intelligent than Your Brain

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Like many people, I grew up with the idea that, if you're intelligent and hardworking, you'll have a great life. I studied economics at Cambridge university, worked in banking and management consultancy, and won first prize at business school (INSEAD). Then, at the age of 26, I felt completely stuck and was diagnosed with clinical depression.

Looking back, being suicidally depressed was a blessing. It showed me that I could only get so far in life by thinking and taking action. A few years later I was working and living in Paris, which had ground to a halt due to strikes on the Metro. Having very little to do - and almost no money left - I read a novel which showed me how to meditate. This enabled me to stop thinking all the time. Instead, I was increasingly conscious of my thoughts. I also let go and asked to be guided.

Within a few months I was back in London, doing a job I really enjoyed and achieving my financial goals with ease. Sometime later, I learned Transcendental Meditation. This gave me daily experience of pure consciousness - I was conscious with no thoughts. I began 'downloading' books, the third of which is 'The Power of Letting Go'. It's sold hundreds of thousands of copies in English and Spanish, and is also available in Arabic, Chinese and Hindi.

In January 2026, Octopus Books will publish 'The Power of Moving On'. You can read about it and pre-order your copy on Amazon now.

    This book was like no other. It honestly changed my life by implementing a lot of the things that the author spoke about. His perspective and experiences gives the reader a sense of trust in the author and new insights into mindset. I wish I could read this book for the first time again and enjoy how great it was.
