Saying No and Letting Go: Jewish Wisdom on Making Room for What Matters Mos
Rabbi Edwin Goldberg DHL (Author)
New!:
Jewish Life
An inspiring introduction to the most important lesson for today s busy world: the "take away" is to "take away."
Every day we are faced with choices that entail saying no--and frankly we re not very good at it. Whether it's the desire to please, get ahead, accumulate or impress, our lives have become so full and so busy that it is hard to determine what we really need and what s really important to us.
The purpose of this book is to help you take back control of the things that matter most in your life. It taps timeless Jewish wisdom that teaches how to hold on tightly to the things that matter most while learning to "let go lightly" of the demands, worries, activities and conflicts that do not ultimately matter. Drawing insights from ancient and modern sources, it helps you identify your core values as well as the opportunities that do not reflect those values, and that you can learn to pass up. It also shows you how to establish a disciplined practice to help you adhere to your choices.
Whether it's letting go of resentment, learning to say "no" at work or to your loved ones, downsizing your diet or asking less of the earth, this book will help you distinguish between the trivial and the profound. It will show you how saying "no" can bring many more opportunities for "yes."
