Love Is Letting Go of Fear

In 1978 this book caught my attention at one workshop. It has funny pictures and it is easy to read. It is based on A Course in Miracles. Throughout the years i must have give away around 50 of them. I have also decided to translate it to Czech, my native language. The book was the bestseller even in Communist Russia. It has just a few basic lessons that entertain a possibility that all our problems stem from conflicting thinking. We can train our mind to reverse it. For example a lesson: I am never upset for the reason I think, can help you to relax and look at thinks differently. The world is the mirror of our mind and we can change our thoughts and see the world in a different light. We cannot change the world, but we can change our mind about the world by deciding to change the thoughts that are causing us pain. We are always in charge and all power is within. We can let go of our unloving beliefs and be happy.

I love this book! An easy read, filled with practical information that really challenges the way you look at people, your past experiences and love as a whole. Some items are hard to swallow as it digs at the core of your soul with regards to fear. The cartoon art work is a funny way of looking at a more serious issue with different eyes. Overall very pleased to have bought this book and I’ll continue to read it for years to come because- to me, it speaks the truth in volumes and I want to free myself from fear completely. Love is letting go of fear and also allows you to be loved.

I purchased this book 4 years ago, after a car accident left me in chronic pain. At that time, I quite honestly didn't know how to handle the loss of my career, my hobbies & my independance - a lot to deal with all at once! Needless to say, I was scared beyond belief!!! Plus, since the accident was caused by another person who just wasn't paying attention, I had a seething anger toward this person who I didn't even know (and I still don't even know her name!).Back then, someone recommended this book to me, and it was a tremendous help! The first time I read it, I just wasn't ready to let go of the negative feelings I was harboring - but a couple of years later I read it again, and it has made such a difference in my life!In a nut shell, Dr. Jampolsky discusses the concepts of love and fear - defining fear as the absence of love. He shows how, in order for us to live a life filled with love, we have to let go of our fears - and to do this, we need to get rid of our need to analyze & contemplate the negative experiences of our past and the potential for negative events to occur in our future - we need to let go of the "what ifs". Stop waiting for the other shoe to drop.Much of the info. included in this book is drawn from "A Course in Miracles", although you don't need to have an understanding of "the course" to gain from the insights in this book - I still haven't gotten around to reading "the course" myself.If you like Marianne Williamson's writing, you'll definately enjoy this book by Dr. Jampolsky.

Any book that helps you learn about yourself is a great book. This short easy to read self helper is a great nightstand book. I picked up this book a long time ago from a friend who loaned it out to me. It took me from a dark place and really helped me with the most basic steps to begin to experience personal happiness. This book offers insight into things you may already know, but it will break things down and simplify for you (great analogies!). There are helpful little tools to use throughout your day as well. It's all about perspective and happiness. I keep this book laying around my house and whenever I am feeling down I read just one page or two to enlighten myself. It's a little corny, but a great simple book with large font/quick read. If it's not for you it's a good gift for a friend or family member who is feeling down.

This is a good, simple book - filled with good, simple wisdom. Of course, the implementation of those wise maxims is extremely difficult - but the book makes it seem so easy that you might actually try and even succeed.The book essentially is divided into two parts - and can be thought of as a "mini Course In Miracles" - which is where the author got his inspiration. The first section talks about the preparation and ingredients for a personal transformation to letting go of fear and embracing love. The second section is 12 daily lessons, many based on ACIM lessons, that emphasize the personal transformation from fear based to love based existence. Where ACIM is long, involved and often somewhat dense, this book is light, filled with great examples, and bite sized. Worth the two week journey.

All the convoluted emotions that hijack our lives can be elegantly categorized into two: Love and Fear. If you're in one, you're not in the other. This book has simplified lessons that could take years on a therapist's couch. A very easy read, love the cartoon illustrations. I got to know myself much better after applying the lessons in this book. Interestingly enough, I have passed out at least 20 of these books as gifts. When the student is ready, the teacher appears. However, sometimes the teacher appears when the student is not ready, and the book goes unread. Or maybe read, but no indication of the same "Aha Moment" that I experienced. Maybe just a seed planted then. Regardless, if you are sincere in pursuing self-awareness, you will find this book invaluable. Just like I did!

This book is only for people seeking self improvement. A very wise man witnessed me struggling and recommended I read this book (as he did many years ago). If you are struggling with happiness in a relationship or a family member or life in general, it is for you. No matter your religious beliefs, this book, or its philosophy in general, is the secret to inner peace. Don't read it if you think you are happy and there's no room for improvement or you will waste your time. If you read it...believe it....and practice it's viewpoints, you will notice a remarkable difference in how happy you can be and how happy others are with you. " Change your life Change your mind" is a very similar book you can benefit from.

The book arrived much sooner than expected. It was in immaculate condition and recommended by a friend. A useful book to learn about yourself from

A very important text. It would be great if this concept could be taught in schools . Looks 'light and fluffy' with all the crazy drawings,(which were fun) - anything but. Precise and to the point. Sso easy to read and put into practice.

"Love is letting go of fear" ne fait que confirmer ce que je sais déjà depuis un certain temps mais ce que je peux dire aussi, c'est que ça marche. Il y a deux façons de voir la vie : dans la peur ou dans l'amour, et la voir dans l'amour donne de bien meilleurs résultats et apporte un bien-être réel car on lâche prise sur nos peurs ! A lire pour ceux qui cherchent un moyen de mieux vivre mais qui croient aussi au pouvoir de l'amour : l'amour inconditionnel, l'amour sans intérêt personnel, l'amour détaché et sincère. Vouloir changer les autres et le monde est illusoire, c'est en changeant soi-même que le monde et les autres changeront car vous serez pour eux un exemple vivant du verbe "aimer". Voilà pour ce livre !

セックスについての本は世の中にたくさんあります。恋についての本も世の中にたくさんあります。しかし、愛について語る本は世の中にあまりないのではないでしょうか。特に宗教のような、大きなものの考え方が抜け落ちてしまっている日本では特にそういう傾向が強いと思います。恋が愛に変わるとき、多くの人は葛藤を覚えると思いますが、そこでぶつかるものは実は相手や状況ではなくて、自分自身のトラウマだったりします。そのトラウマにどう対処するかが、愛する相手と本当の信頼関係を作れるかどうかに大きな影響を持ちますが、多くの心理学的な対処法の場合、過去のトラウマに向きあうこと（直面化）を伴うので、とても痛みが大きかったりします。しかし、この本はそういうアプローチを取らず、実際に自分が愛を得るにはどうすればいいか、愛を得るということはどういうことか、ということをとてもわかりやすく伝えてくれるため、そうした痛みを伴うことなく、自分をゆっくり見つめることができます。これは素晴らしいことだと思います。とても重要なことが書いてありますし、普段の日本の世俗的な文化では出会わない言葉が多いので、咀嚼には時間が掛かるかもしれませんが、確実に一読に値しますし、読んだ時には理解できなくても、その後の人生経験に生きることがあるのではないかと思います。タイトルの奇抜さを気に入って手に取りましたが、自分に必要なことを教えてくれる、本当にいい本でした。出会いに感謝します。より良い人生を過ごしたい人にはとてもお勧めです。
