"An inspiring, life-changing book that challenges us to open our
arms to the life we have rather than wishing we had something
else."
-- Marci Shimoff, author of Happy for No Reason "With luminous
clarity, radical authenticity, and tender appreciation of the human
predicament, Dropping the Struggle is more than a teaching and
bigger than a book: it is an invitation to transform."
-- Mirabai Starr, translator of Dark Night of the Soul and author
of Caravan of No Despair "This book came to me just when I needed
it, helping me to loosen my tight fist on how I want things to be
and take another step toward acceptance."
-- Ellen Bass, author of Like a Beggar and coauthor of The Courage
to Heal
"Gently and wisely, Roger Housden points to the timeless knowing
within us, which dissolves the need to struggle with life, with
others, and with ourselves."
-- Roger Walsh, MD, PhD, author of Essential Spirituality "A book
of confessions, advice, and easy-to-digest wisdom on how to lean
into surrender and beingness in spite of our Western hardwiring of
constant doingness."
-- Arielle Ford, author of Turn Your Mate into Your Soulmate
"Dropping the Struggle is a wise, compassionate, fierce gift and
gentle guide for living fully with more ease. Blending poetry,
storytelling, and science, it leads the way toward a more open
heart and mind."
-- Marc Lesser, author of Less and Know Yourself, Forget Yourself
"Surrender is an essential goal of all spiritual work. Letting go
of the control that we never really had is both our great task and
the key to a life of joy and inner peace. In Dropping the Struggle,
Roger Housden has written a simple but brilliant guidebook to help
us do just that. . . . I highly recommend this beautiful book!"
-- James Baraz, author of Awakening Joy and cofounding teacher at
Spirit Rock Meditation Center "This wonderful book is an antidote
to overachievement, a welcome respite from striving to 'have it
all, ' a voice of sanity in a world addicted to self-improvement.
Irreverent, profound, and hard-hitting. I loved it."
-- Mark Matousek, author of Ethical Wisdom "With admirable honesty,
wisdom, and authenticity, Housden presents seven ways to love the
life you are living."
-- Spirituality and Practice
