My therapist mentioned two books to me during our last two sessions, so I ordered them on Amazon.
I was going to just see if I could borrow the e-book from the local library, but I sprung for buying the books.
One is about "letting go" of control and trying to change people and just "let them" be them, even if they're buttholes.
The other one is about mindfulness. I don't understand what mindfulness is so hopefully the book will explain it to me.

@looeyville The fact that you know you need to let go of trying to fix people and let them be “them” surely precludes your need of a bookI would have thought! But I hope the book helps.

Yeah, well, maybe a little perspective and reinforcement couldn't hurt, right?

@LooeyVille It’s a great relief when you realise you can’t live other people’s lives for them and you stop trying, even if they’re making a dog’s dinner out of their lives.

Mindfulness is great. You focus on your breath, and when your mind starts wandering instead of berating yourself for letting your mind wander, you acknowledge it and refocus. I like the premise of that other book. That’s one of the reasons I don’t let things bother me: as Rick Nelson once sang, “You can’t please everyone so you’ve got to please yourself.”

Hope those books are helpful. I've heard of the Let Them book but not the other one
