This one is  one of my favorite best selling self help books. It shows a practical way to surrender and let the miracle happen.

Life is made to be perfect and beautiful. But when we use our free will in a negative way we tend toward suffering.

When we surrender everything to the higher power our life starts to come back on track. Miracles start to happen in our lives which we were blocking from our free will of choosing.

Author wanted to stop the voice that is continuously running in our head. Author used meditation to stop this voice and surrender everything.

Once the author was surrendered completely, miraculous events started to take place in his life.

This book shows the power of meditation and surrender.
