Peter Walsh, bestselling author and popular regular guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show, is back with a book that moves beyond clearing clutter to help listeners create a less-is-more life that is completely fulfilling.

Lighten Up shows you how to be more relaxed and resillient, productive and creative, in a world that doesn't necessarily want to cooperate.

What’s your story? We all have one. But what if the retelling of your story does you more harm than good? Do you understand how your cardinal memories are the keys to your story development? Or how these very same memories may limit your potential? Lighten Up is more than a coming-of-age memoir. It is an in-depth look at Rodney Laney’s disengagement from his cardinal memories. The book is humorous and provocative as Laney describes his journey into meditation and spirituality. Once you learn how to release the negative emotions attached to the images in your mind, you’ll free yourself from the habitual thoughts and emotions that cause your circular and limiting behavior. And once you release the emotions weighing you down, you’ll actually feel lighter. And maybe your stories will be funnier, as well.
