Letting Go Without Giving Up : Releasing Control or Attachment Without Abandoning Values and Responsibility

Letting go is often confused with surrendering values, effort, or responsibility. Yet clinging to one method, timetable, form, or outcome can become the very thing that prevents wise action. Using the Stay, Shift, or Release Test, William R. Stanek helps you identify what can be released and what should remain. You will learn to loosen control without becoming passive, preserve care without forcing an outcome, and continue acting responsibly while allowing reality to be larger than your preferred plan.
