2.0
Let Go of The Past & Stop Worrying About The Future
“How To Live In The Present Moment 2.0 is a great book and I think it will benefit a lot of people. I know I
certainly have issues in my past that are unresolved and this book has just given me inspiration to get on
with dealing with those issues. It is inspirational on so many levels that there will be very few people who
wouldn’t find resonance with some part of it. It’s written very well and the perspective and narrative is kept
to the point, as well as speaking to problems and issues generally
encountered.”
- Kristene Smuts, Author

“After I read this book, it made me rethink my current ways and perspectives in life. At the moment I worry
too much and can't wait to fulfill my dreams for my future. I have also my own painful past – well, I'm sure
everyone has – and it affected me so much that it's hard to forget about it. It makes sense that in order for
anyone to live in the present, one should let go of his past first and not to think too much of the future. I'm
sure anyone who reads this will see what I'm talking about. We should all remember to make our present
day count, make the most of it and to treasure it, after all it is a present, a gift. Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.”
- Chin Lee, Author
“If you are stuck somewhere between the past and the future, worrying your days away instead of focusing
on the present and all the beauty it brings, this is THE BOOK FOR YOU! Life is tricky, it seems as if there
is either something in the past we can always focus on, or something in the future we can allow to distract
us from the present moment... and from our own happiness. Our lives are so much more wonderful than we
give it credit for, and if you can’t understand why your life doesn’t seem wonderful, it’s most likely because
you’re not living it; you’re stuck in another time zone. You can’t live in the present, the future and the past
simultaneously. This book so wonderful and simply explains how you can choose to actively live in the
present so that you can appreciate life for all that it is and make the most of time, our most valuable
resource.
This is a short read and very informative. Once you start reading, you will easily relate enough to hook you
and make you want to keep reading. There is so much enlightening information in such a short amount of
pages, it is incredible. Anyone can read it, because no matter how you feel about life, there is always room
to grow and improve and change. This may be exactly what you’re looking for to either alter your
perspective just slightly, or change your life completely.
Life is what we make it... so make it a good one. Now. This book is a great start in the right direction!”
- Afshin Salehi, Neurosurgeon

“I was stuck. My beloved husband died seven years ago: I lost touch with friends; I couldn't live the same
lifestyle without the combined income; I had to move and felt as if I had lost everything. I moved and
couldn't unpack, couldn't clean or organize. I couldn't stop thinking about what if, if only, what could have
been or what the future would bring without a good income and retirement plan (it was all gone). I honestly
felt like I was losing my mind. I cried every day in spite of seeing counselors and being prescribed anti-
anxiety/antidepressants. But I kept hearing the word mindfulness. I'd been trying to find an audiobook about
it because my depression affected my ability to concentrate on reading a long book. This short read was like
a pep talk and opened my eyes. I'm sure it'll lead to more investigation into mindfulness but just was just
what I needed right now.”
- Chris Hamm

“I picked this book up for personal reasons. I believe that everybody has some regrets in their past. Be it
from a traumatic childhood experience, from a broken relationship or some other reason that hampers us
from truly living in the present. So how do we let go of the past, move on and get on with our life with a
much better perspective and enthusiasm?
The book delves into the reason why we are having a hard time moving on. It also gives ideas on how you
can harness the negative effects and convert it into something positive, and through the correct mindset,
you'll eventually have the courage to pick yourself up and move on.”
