Simply GREAT!
I found myself being described by Martine Batchelor so many times in this book. It is hard to let go of our habits, but great to have Martine help us.

Breaking Free of Habits
9. Oktober 2008
Von GW
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
In Letting Go Martine Batchelor gives us a Buddhist handbook for liberating ourselves from compulsive habits. She clearly describes the process of habituation, from experiencing an emotion, "there is fear in my mind", through identification with the emotion, "I am afraid", to solidification of this into fixed identity, "I am a fearful person", which then colors and restricts all our subsequent experience. The rest of the book presents antidotes and practices to unlink these steps. Wearing lightly her years of experience as a Buddhist nun and meditation teacher, she presents practices and stories with simplicity, humor, clarity and compassion. I cannot imagine anyone who would not benefit from reading this seemingly simple but deeply wise book.

Changing yourself, one habit at a time
22. März 2011
Von Francis Norton
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
Let Go is the only book (and I'm a book junkie) that remains on or near my bedside table, as I cycle every few weeks through another of the eleven short chapters, each with its neatly boxed meditation exercise. And as each chapter comes round again, I find I bring something new to it, and take something new from it.
Let Go explains how to use mindfulness (anapanasati) and insight (vipassana) meditation to let go of the unwanted patterns of habit and response which can poison our relationships and sabotage our dreams. The book is firmly rooted in Buddhist practice, but doesn't require any metaphysical beliefs at any stage, and has very positive explanations of how meditation relates to and supports other techniques such as mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), 12 step addiction and even an obsessive-compulsive therapy.
Martine Batchelor spent a decade in a Korean Zen monastery, and since then has practised in environments as varied as rural meditation centres and a South African jail. She brings her experiences as an individual, family member, author and practitioner to the book with a light and self-deprecating voice, but her explanation of how unwanted mental habits are acquired, grow upon us and eventually constrict us is detailed and convincing, as are the explanations of how to become aware of them, of their triggers, and how to discard them. The whole analysis is as clearly built on her experience as on her command of Buddhism's many centuries of practice and refinement.
I recommend this book in the hope that it will help others, as it I believe it has helped me, to become someone that they and those they love will find easier and more rewarding to be with.

A fresh look at meditation
29. November 2007
Von Rick Merritt
- Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Taschenbuch
I recently heard Martine speak at my meditation center. She is delightfully humorous, warm and insightful. The crowd really enjoyed her talk and she was very available afterwards for questions.
The book does not transmit as much humor and freshness as she shows in person. Nevertheless, she has a core of very unique and practical thoughts about what Vispassana meditation is all about that can be found here. She is trying to put a focus on mediatation as a way to observe the habits we seldom see and evaluate ones that don't really work for us so we can change.
Something she said in her talk that I didn't see made explicit in the book was her comment that Vispassana is not best translated as "Insight" (the outcome) but Experiential Inquiry (the process). I think this idea informs what the book is all about.
