What to expect
'An undeniable case for relinquishing control for a more fulfilling existence' LORI GOTTLIEB
In her new book, Radical Surrender, Dr Anna Lembke - Stanford psychiatrist and 1.5 million copy bestselling author of Dopamine Nation - offers readers inspiring stories and transformative tools for letting go in a world engineered for certainty and control
We are a generation addicted to control. From the way we brew and consume our coffee in the morning to the tracking of our sleep patterns at night, we live in a world where almost every aspect of our day-to-day life is micro-managed to our will. But what happens when things don't go to plan? We live in constant fear of taking the wrong step, making the wrong choice and missing out on our best lives. The result? An epidemic of anxiety, nihilistic boredom and loneliness.
The solution? Embracing the power of letting go.
Blending relatable stories with neuroscience, psychiatrist and bestselling author Dr Anna Lembke reveals that the antidote to our modern despair is living a surrendered life. Using her personal story of loss and subsequent existential reckoning as a powerful entry point, Dr. Lembke defines surrender as the moment we acknowledge a power greater than ourselves; however we define it and give our will over to that power: less mastery and more a return to mystery.
Science-based and deeply inspiring, Radical Surrender is the perfect book for anyone seeking more meaning and connection in our self-obsessed, hyperrational, disenchanted universe.
