The Art of Detachment: Finding Strength in Presence, Calmness, and Detachment (Life Changing Insights)

This is a very good book for the modern world. I somewhat reluctantly read the intro sample before buying because I didn't really think it would be what I was looking for and then as soon as I read the intro, I immediately purchased it and read it as soon as it arrived. This is an incredibly good book. Just somewhat of a side note for anyone wondering, this isn't a religious book(Buddhist, Hindu, etc) but it may have those influencers, but as a Christian I find the contents of this book to be applicable to any person regardless of religion or lack there of. Personally for me as a Christian I do find that I can take things to the next level by taking what is in the book and viewing it from a Christian perspective which in a lot of ways makes things more powerful. There is a lot about the modern world that causes spiraling emotions that is tearing apart individuals, relationships, and society. The things in this book would really make a huge difference if more people practiced it.

I had been reading this book on and off. Mostly because I don’t really make time to read in my noisy and chaotic life. After taking the time to read this book, it provoked many thoughts about why I fear being alone and prefer being distracted. This book is for the people who constantly overthink, analyze, and attempt to control the outcomes of life. I’ve ruined relationships because of the constant need to control and found that life has a way of naturally flowing that one can’t always predict or plan. I didn’t realize that all this time I needed to embrace my solitude to feel whole instead of looking outward for answers. I’ve come to terms that being alone in my company is truly what develops our sense of self and confidence in our decision while balancing our connections with other. Learnt to embrace your own thoughts in silence and clarity so you can find comfort in stillness rather than avoiding the discomfort of it. I also like how the book provides practical habits. I would definitely recommend this book.

I recently learned about Detachment as a skill and decided to pick up this book to learn more. It's an easy read and a great way to mentally start the day. I look forward to continuing to apply the skill to maximize my life.

Aloneness doesn’t equate loneliness and I can’t agree with it more. People come and go alone and it’s a deep dialogue with your inner self

Outstanding book on centering oneself and moving forward with presence and intentions that match our values

This book is and has changed my life and it came at the perfect time. It’s humbling yet empowering. I’m sure that I will definitely revisit this book many times from now on forward.

Amazing book
