{"product_id":"9780937827055","title":"Art of Letting Go: The Journey from Separation in Love to Fulfillment in Life","description":"The breakup of an intimate relationship is certainly one of the most   difficult of life’s experiences. For most people, the process of letting go   of a person with whom one has been in love is a period of extreme   uncertainty and confusion. \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Letting Go\u003c\/i\u003e offers a unique approach to dealing with the pain of separation.  \u003cp\u003e  To aid the reader’s comprehension and confidence in this unique catharsis,   the author has now included an extensive self-awareness section and an   engrossing meditation. The result is a fully-integrated reading experience   designed to enlighten and revitalize.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  In the self-awareness exercises which accompany each chapter of the text,   the reader is offered a series of questions pertinent to the twenty-six   themes of the book. These questions enable the reader to probe the meaning   of each theme at a very personal level and thus provide the individual   reader with a springboard for self-analysis and  self-determination.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  The “Dynamic Meditation” which makes up the last section of \u003ci\u003eThe Art of   Letting Go\u003c\/i\u003e is a remarkable guide to the process of meditation strengthened   by visualization. It leads the reader, in the form of a journey, through a   peaceful encounter with the blockages which might prevent true liberation.   Step by step, the reader is enabled to shed difficulties and to arrive at   the harmonious point of self-awakening.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Letting Go\u003c\/i\u003e grew out of the author’s personal experiences. The   book covers twenty-six aspects of life that must be dealt with if one is to   confront successfully the difficulties presented by a separation in love.   Those aspects vary from “Self-Image” and  “Responsibility” to “Forgiveness” and “The Future.” Each chapter of the book   is introduced by an inspirational saying, followed by the author’s   commentary and a self-awareness section designed to enable the reader to act   immediately upon each category of experience involved in meeting the   challenge of the journey to personal fulfillment.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  The underlying philosophy of the book has to do with action as the natural   outcome of understanding. While the adage “Time heals all wounds” may be of   some comfort for people in a distressing situation, it tends ultimately to   condition them for remaining in a passive position. In \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Letting Go\u003c\/i\u003e the goal is immediate action as a response to each difficulty presented by   the reality of separation. Thus, the author does intend for his book to be a   source of information; but it is clearly designed to do more than that: it   is meant to spur the reader on to meaningful action.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  In essence, what the author achieves in \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Letting Go\u003c\/i\u003e is a balance   between the internal and external dimensions involved in his approach to   separation. Chapters such as “Autosuggestion” and “Change of Scenery”   reflect on this balance of internal and external change. And there is an   interconnection between all of the chapters. They  support one another. When you learn to face “Responsibility” (the title of   another chapter), you learn also to deal with “Acceptance” and to develop   the capacity for “Forgiveness.”  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  For many people, “Love” is the greatest obstacle to letting go. But   Giampolo’s book demonstrates how it must be understood that once we let go,   the love which we originally felt is now of a different nature. Love is the   primary force which leads us into a relationship and it is also the primary   force for leading us successfully out of a  relationship. It is learning how to change the form of love which offers the   individual the power to transcend suffering and to begin on the path to   fulfillment in life.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Because the book is centered around such a universal perception of the   nature of love, it lends itself extremely well to a very wide spectrum of   readers. Its appeal to experienced adults is of course obvious. For this   group it makes an excellent and inspiring gift, for friends and family   members alike. But the book is capable of reaching and changing  teenagers as well. Parents will find that \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Letting Go\u003c\/i\u003e can offer   their children a kind of insight which is lacking in their classroom   education. And in the sensitive and experimental years of young adulthood,   the message of a book such as this is of inestimable value.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Just as Giampolo has achieved in his book the balance between the internal   and external dimensions of getting through a breakup, he has also created a   text which functions as a dual learning process. When you learn to let go,   you are also learning to be better prepared for the next relationship. This   is because the goals taught in this process overlap with the developing of   new relationships. This is particularly evident in chapters such as   “Communication,” “Feelings,” “Trust,” and “Freedom.”  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  The result of Giampolo’s  conviction is an outstanding book which speaks   with remarkable sincerity and clarity to an audience of the most varied   background and ages. \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Letting Go\u003c\/i\u003e, to put it simply, is a book to   be savored, used, and shared.        \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carlino \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49878859022576,"sku":"9780937827055","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780937827055","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
