Publisher's Summary
If ever there was a time for us to be resilient, it was when a deadly virus engulfed the planet. As death rates soared and crippling lockdowns kicked in, the Resilience Project founder Hugh Van Cuylenburg was one of the people Australia turned to in order to find out how to cope. Under pressure to deliver good news in a historic crisis, it didn't take long for the Melbourne-based educator to realise he wasn't coping.
Like millions of people around the world, Hugh was forced to reassess life during the 2020-21 pandemic as COVID undermined our sense of safety, strangled our personal connections and saw levels of happiness plunge. After taking the time to address his own problems, Hugh recognised he was being hamstrung by the same powerful issues that undermine the lives of many: our feelings of shame, our quest for perfection and the toxicity of social media.
In this follow-up to the best-selling The Resilience Project: Finding Happiness Through Gratitude, Empathy and Mindfulness, Hugh combines powerful insight with research and his own disarming and candid storytelling to show how it is possible to let go of the things that are stopping us from feeling connected, safe and happy.

A rich descriptive deep soak in emotional vulnerability.
I can’t recommend this second book enough for anyone needing to take stock, step back and let go.
Let Go is filled with the right mix of brutal sadness, heart warming realisation and funny relatable moments.

Loved it, made me laugh and cry.
I loved the Resilience Project and I also loved this book. Hugh is an amazing storyteller, so funny and relatable. I truly enjoyed it and it has made me super motivated to start the journey of letting go of my ego and embracing how messy life is.

First half hopeful, second half hopeless
I love Hugh’s work, and I loved the first half of this book - but I felt a little taken about the second half. Maybe I came here for the wrong reasons, but I came to this book to feel better about life, and the stories of being friends with celebrities, being an excellent runner and everything working out in the end served to make me feel a little alienated, and similar to how social medias perfect perception makes you feel worse about the situation. This is summed up in the chapter around finding help from a psychologist, where the pains we all suffer finding help are articulated, but the answer is unfortunately “I was lucky enough to know someone”, which made me feel hopeless to find good help.

Absolutely mind blown!!!
I listen to your book as I drive around doing food deliveries. There was so many parts of it that struck a chord with me that I cannot name one in particular. That being said, I am going to be mindful of the types of people that I surround myself with And what their titles actually are, and if they don’t give me any joy or add anything to my life, they’re going to be people that I see less and less of. I’m not entirely sure that I could take my social media off my phone at least not yet but it’s a goal that I’m working towards now. Thanks to your book.
