The publisher shares about this book - "Feeling overwhelmed? Step away from life’s demands and free yourself up for what matters with this succinct and sensible guide by the Zen Buddhist author of the international bestsellers The Art of Simple Living and Don’t Worry. " We at Ūmei have to laugh a bit at this because there are 99 tips, which to remember 99 things is a bit overwhelming.  But fear not it is a practical, easy to read and a helpful book.  We enjoyed it and it can maybe help a bit in today's world.

More from the publisher: "Amid the relentless cycle of news, social media, emails, and texts, it can be hard to know when, if ever, you can take a break from everything clamoring for your attention. The internationally bestselling Buddhist monk Shunmyo Masuno offers a radical message: You can leave it all be, and, indeed, sometimes the best thing you can learn is how to do nothing." A samples of some of the tips from  How to Let Things Go:

• Lesson #15: Remember that social media is a tool and nothing more.
• Lesson #19: Let a relationship come to an end rather than force it.
• Lesson #40: Think of letting things go not as throwing them away but as setting them free.
• Lesson #75: Make decisions in the light of the morning—don’t rush into them.
• Lesson #90: Slow down and take more breaks.
