In the midst of these turbulent times, Purewal, founder of mindfulness meditation workshops company Pure Minds, and mental health workshop leader Petriw (Mind Matters) offer a way to cultivate calm and address things that get in the way. They discuss letting go of negative self-perceptions, regrets from the past, and anxieties about the future. They do that by teaching the practice of mindfulness--being able to find calm within. Steps toward becoming mindful include awareness, self-love, acceptance, perspective, authenticity, and forgiveness, and each of these are well defined. Above all, Purewal and Petriw reiterate the directive in the title to let go of the garbage and concentrate on the gifts inherent in daily living.

VERDICT Nothing new here, but this title is still helpful for those seeking inner peace in a stressful world.
