The Ecstasy of Surrender; Judith Orloff, M.D.

I have to admit, I was slightly skeptical when I picked up "The Ecstasy of Surrender; 12 Surprising Ways Letting Go Can Empower Your Life". I've read my fair share of Self-Help books, and to a certain point they all have some distinct similarities. However, Orloff's warm narration truly helps connect the reader to her points. In exploring her personal experiences, and the wisdom she's discovered. 
As Orloff points out early on the concept or surrender, of letting goes seems extremely counter intuitive. As a university student, I often feel pressured to have an exact handle on my future. To know exactly what I will do, when and how. "The Ecstasy of Surrender" helped me address some paths I've been considering. The manner in which Orloff divides the book, into different sections on the different types of surrender was extremely helpful. I'll definitely be able to implement Orloff's advice into my life, and know I'll flip back through it quite often. I enjoyed this book, and would recommend it. 

I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review. However, all the opinions are entirely my own.
