Gerald G. Jampolsky

An inspirational classic since 1979, L O V E I S L E T T I N G G O O F F E A R remains one of the seminal works in the transpersonal movement. Psychiatrist Dr. Gerald Jampolsky? s timeless message may be timelier today than ever: the only thing that stands between us and the awesome energy of love is fear. To live without fear, we must stop analyzing it, stop agonizing over it, stop fighting with it, and simply . . . let it go. How? By releasing our paralyzing preoccupation with the past and our chronic apprehension over the future? which is, needless to say, easier said than done.
To help us in this difficult journey from fear to love, Dr. Jampolsky presents tools in the form of 12 daily, progressive lessons for personal transformation. These crucial lessons work through the concepts of giving, forgiveness, cause and effect, perspective, reactive behavior, victimhood, judgement, living in the present, releasing the past, visualization, freedom to choose, and taking responsibility. In the 25 years since it was first published, L O V E I S L E T T I N G G O O F F E A R continues to change lives with its frank, thought-provoking, and powerful response to overcoming life? s greatest challenges.

This is a small book with a big message: if people are to heal themselves and learn to live with each other in love and harmony, forgiveness must become as important and regular as breathing. The first chapter offers powerful stories chosen to open the reader's heart to the idea of forgiveness. Subsequent chapters explain why so many individuals find it so difficult to forgive, and why holding onto grievances is really a decision to suffer. He describes the causes of being unforgiving, how the mind works in this process, and the ultimate negative effects this attitude can exert on one's body and life in general.
Written in direct, accessible language, the book approaches its subject from a practical standpoint rather than a psychological or religious one.

In 1975, Jerry Jampolsky cofounded the Center for Attitudinal Healing in Tiburon, California, where people with life-threatening illnesses practice peace of mind as an instrument of transformation. Based on the healing power of love and forgiveness, the 12 principles developed at the center, and explained in this book, embrace the idea that total giving and total acceptance are crucial to the healing process and that attitudinal healing can lead to harmony, joy, and life without fear.

Haven Trevio, a lifelong student of Taoism, was in the final stages of Lou Gehrig's disease when he wrote this book. His modern adaptation of the Tao Te Ching lends itself beautifully to the subject of healing. These meditations offer insight, humor, and hope.
