How can we learn to let go?

Learn more in this episode with Bob Rosen, psychologist, researcher, and author of Detach: Ditch Your Baggage to Live a More Fulfilling Life. Listen as Bob invites us to take stock of our relationship with our attachments and offers advice on how to replace them with aspirations. For example, the anecdote to our attachment to control is embracing our vulnerability.

Western psychology is all about goals, aspirations, and problem-solving, and Eastern psychology is all about understanding the power of impermanence, change, and uncertainty. So I wrote the book to weave those two concepts together.
