Let It Be Easy: Simple Ways to Stop Stressing & Start Living

Rate this book
Susie Moore knows that all too often stress is self-created and bogs us down, and she knows that we can just as easily create peace and power. Susie doesn’t deny the reality of suffering but instead shows how to pivot toward a life-changing way of processing pain, grief, loss, and anxiety. Her poignant stories and wise and witty words deliver nuggets of real-life wisdom to help you defuse reactive triggers and recast failures into successes with simple-yet-powerful changes.

ترجمة رشا ماجد

تأليف سوزى مور
مش اول تجربة لى فى مجال التنمية البشرية والحقيقة ان بالنسبة لى كل كتب التنمية البشرية بيبقى فيها الحاجة وعكسها وانت على حسب قراءتك وفهمك والمواقف اللى بتسمع معاك وبتحس انها بتشبهك بتكون رايك فى الكتاب ..
كل الحلول بتاعة التنمية البشرية تبدو لك سهلة ويمكن تطبيقها لكن الكلام تاكيدا أسهل من الفعل بكتير ..
انا حاولت مع كتب تنمية بشرية كتير قبل كده منهم اللى فيه شق علمى ومنهم اللى يتوه ومنهم اللى قلت بعده توبه ويمكن واحد او اتنين اللى عجبونى وسط عشرين كتاب مثلا🤪🤪
النوع ده من كتب التنمية البشرية من الحلو اللى فيهم 😂لعده اسباب
اولا الكتاب مقسم لعدد كبير من المواقف او الفصول الصغيرة المنفصلة وده حلو لانه فى كل فصل ما قل ودل غير ان يمكن قراءته على اكثر من مرة ووسط اكثر من كتاب دون الشعور بالارتباك او اللخبطة
ثانيا الكتاب مناسب فى مشكلاته وحلوله لمجتمعنا وواقعنا الشرقى المصرى
ثالثا الكتاب مناسب جدا جدا للشباب والناشئة بدون اى خزعبلات غربية وغير ملائمة للسن الصغير
رابعا الترجمة سلسة وانسيابية ومناسبة جدا ومباشرة
حاجة مشابهة للمواقف فى بوستات الفيسبوك مثلا الفكرة منها واصلة بسهولة ..
كتاب اهديته لابنتى (١٥سنة) وانا سعيدة انى باحط فى ايدها حاجة زى دى فى السن ده ومتاكده انها هتفهمه وهتقرؤه ومش هتزهق منه ❤❤
طيب بالنسبة للمترجمة بقى انتى كده ضحكتى علينا يا استاذة رشا 😂😂
اتمنى انى اشوف رواية مترجمة و اتمنى انى اشوفها قريب واتمنى انك تختارى حاجة ملائمة لروحك الحلوة وتحطى التاتش بتاعك فيها عادى😍 علشان انا باحب الترجمات اللى روح المترجم و قلم المؤلف بيتلخبطوا على بعض فمتحسش انك بتقرا ترجمة اساسا ❤
استاذة رشا ماجد سقفة كبيرة 👏👏
وفى انتظار المزيد ❤❤

I wasn’t familiar with this author before grabbing this book when it was recommended by a friend. The title appealed to me, as I’m always looking for ways to uncomplicate life.

The format seems to be modeled after, “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff” - short anecdotes to accompany a specific piece of advice - but targeted more towards the female self-help, life coaching, Instagram contingent.

It’s really more of a random mish mosh of “self help lite” - some felt on theme with the “let it be easy” title and some felt like she was reaching and not as good of a fit, almost like she was trying to fill space. It feels like less of a book and more of a collection of Instagram posts, or a daily inspirational. Perhaps I would have enjoyed it more had I read it that way, instead of all at once.

Overall, there were some nice little reminders and perspective shifts, but there’s nothing new or revelatory here that you can’t find in a more in-depth self development book.

“Rock your scars, they’re evidence that you’ve lived your life.”

Let It Be Easy: Simple Ways to Stop Stressing & Start Living by Susie Moore is a quick read with a lot of insight and inspiration. I enjoy little books of inspiration and Moore’s ideas had me jotting down journal prompts and quotes. I listened to her narrate the audiobook and listened from beginning to end but you can certainly pop in at any point and find a nugget of motivation.

“ When things are right with you, they are right with the world.”

Journal Questions
1. What am I doing when I’m slacking off?
2. What books & blogs do I love to read?
3. If I could be anyone for a week, who would it be?
4. What do I feel the least insecure about?
5. What’s pure and simple fun for me?
6. What conversational topic never gets boring to me?

متأكدة أن الحاجة اللي بتتعمل بحب بتوصل بحب ، الكتاب دا ١٠٠% اتكتب بكل حب عشان يوصل بسهولة وبساطة كدا♥️
العنوان بيقول كل حاجة فعلاً عن الكتاب ، "قوة البساطة" ، إزاي ممكن تحب ، تفرح ، تزعل ، تنجح ، تفشل ببساطة .
كل رسالة و كل نصيحة وكل كلمة اتحطت فالكتاب فعلاً مفيدة ، إذا كانت حاجة متعرفهاش فانت هتتعلمها ولو حاجة تعرفها ف هي بمثابة affirmation وطبطبة بسيطة🥰🤍

تحفة 👏🏻

i’m not sure how to rate this, because I actually love and agree with everything. However, I felt like these ideas came from Esther Hicks, who Susie does quote. But if you’ve listened to Esther then you probably don’t need this book

كتاب سطحي يدعي العمق ع شاكلة ابق قويا و اكستاسي و اخواتهم من نوعية الكتب ال over rated جدا اللي بيصرف ع الدعاية ليها أرقام مفزعة لينتشر الكتاب بالعافية
كأني اقرا بوستات فيسبوك
لا يوجد اي ترتيب لحِكم الكاتبة هو مجرد عرض لما يطرأ ع بالها
الاستعراض واضح جدا ف عرض وضعها المادي و الاجتماعي
إسقاط حِكمها ع حياتها الشخصية كأنها محور الكون او الحقيقة المطلقة
عموما يصلح للقراءة كفاصل بين قراءات دسمة مفيدة او اثناء الزهق و الملل
يمكن أن تفتحة ع اي صفحة و تقرأ فلن تفتقد السابق او تنتظر القادم
يصلح للمراهقين او من يحسس خطاه في القراءة و كان لزاما ع دار النشر ان تنوه بذلك ع غلاف الكتاب
يمكن أن اريحك و الخص لك محتوى هذا الكتاب في كلمة واحدة فقط

Let It Be Easy is full of gold nuggets to help live a less stressful life. The book is composed of 143 chapters that are anywhere from 1 to 3 pages long. Each chapter offers a bit of insight into ways to recognize how we make life more complicated and suggestions for letting go of the thoughts, beliefs and action that do not serve us.

Let it be easy
قوة البساطة
سوزي مور
كتاب يجب قراءته، حقيقي وانت بتقرأ كتير هتقول لنفسك ايه ده هي ازاي عرفت ده
بالظبط كده ده اللي المفروض يحصل
الكاتبة جمعت في الكتاب وسائل كتير تخليك تعيش حياتك ببساطة و دمجتها بحياتها الشخصية وده خلق نوع من الحميمية في القراءة وازاي قدرت توصل لمرحلة من الاسترخاء والتخلص من القلق و الاستمتاع بالحياة
عجبني جدًا استخدامها لعدد كبير من الأقوال لمشاهير كتير كلها في محلها تمامًا
بتوضح لك ان الحياة مهما مر بها من عراقيل فهي مستمرة بلا توقف وبتشرحازاي يكون عندك مرونة تخليك تستمر من غير كسور
الحياة مش بتقف مهما كانت الأسباب و الأعذار ضخمة من وجهة نظرنا سواء بالفقد بالخيانة بضياع العمل او خسارة الأموال ولا بالطلاق ………..إلى آخره.
وبتعدي كل ده ازاي اننا نأخد الأمور ببساطة اكتر من غير تعقيد
بالنسبة للترجمة فأنا شخصيًا بشكر المترجمة المتمكنة Rasha Maged جدًا لأني حسيت اني بقرأ للمؤلف مباشرة انسجام تام في الفقرات و ترجمة معنى بصورة سهلة ولم تفقد جوهر الأحداث ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
وكده انا محتاجة منك توقيع ✍️ على الكتاب
كمان عجبني جدًا كمية الآراء اللي حاصل عليها الكتاب و مجمعة بشكل ظريف في بداية الكتاب
"توقف عن دفع الصخور إلى أعلى التل"
ماينفعش أحط اقتباس لان الكتاب جدير بالقراءة

W Polsce wydana przez: Wydawnictwo Publicat :)

Często sami lubimy dokładać sobie problemów i niepotrzebnie komplikować sprawy, które można rozwiązać w bardzo prosty sposób. Susie Moore uświadamia nam to bardzo przejrzyście, podsuwając przy tym ciekawe rozwiązania.
W końcu na każdego bardziej działa historia z życia wzięta oraz możliwość powiedzenia sobie podczas lektury: „ O RANY, ktoś miał identycznie, jak ja!”. Mobilizuje nas to do działania, a gwarantować mogę, że z tą książką nie zginie się w życiowym zamęcie 😉.
Książka podzielona jest na krótkie rozdziały, co osobiście uwielbiam. Tym sposobem można regularnie po nią sięgać, dawkować sobie lekcje trenerki rozwoju osobistego i skłaniać się ku przemyśleniom; nie bojąc się o zgubienie wątku.
Publikacja zachęca do lektury łatwym i lekkim językiem – zdecydowanie na plus, bo nie jednokrotnie odstawiałam z powrotem na półkę poradniki usiane całą masą psychologicznych formułek, z których nie wiele rozumiałam. Tutaj natomiast, aż chce się sięgać po więcej i powoli sprawiać, aby własne życie było lepsze 😊.

With a title like that, what's not to like! Susie Moore's lighthearted, incredible practical, and abundantly optimistic attitude toward life--especially toward HARD things--is contagious. Susie's sound-bite wisdom is never frivolous. it always makes me feel warm inside and encourages me to keep going with a spring to my step. Right now, as I am tempted to line up with the traditional wisdom that the next step in book publishing is hard and overwhelming, I decided to stop that attitude today. Instead, I made a decision to leave "Let It Be Easy" on my desktop. Every day before starting the work of getting out there I am dowsing from her book. Just a little something--a little extra (as she would say)--to help me line up my attitude to take the next right step. Thank you Susie!!

I know I'll come back and reference this book often and maybe even just flip open to random chapters when I feel like I need it. The chapters are short, the lessons are sometimes short and simple, but always very relevant. I have a love-hate relationship with self help books, but I really liked this one and I appreciate the brevity of each point the author makes. She gets the point across and then moves on and the book really is very helpful. I personally learn things better when the point is succinct and not made more complicated than it needs to be - ya know how humans sometimes have this need to over-intellectualize every single thing? but to what end??? Anyway, this book has definitely helped me put a lot of things in perspective.

It was fine. Nothing bad. Nothing earth shattering. I felt like I was reading 100 Instagram captions in a row. I’ll probably put it in our guest room for people to flip through, but I won’t be finishing it in the traditional book sense. The shallowness of each one made it hard to be motivating to keep reading. I think I may have liked it better if the advice was separated into categories, so I could read what was applicable to me (great intimacy advice and making conversation with people) and skip the rest (like the career advice was fine, but not the caliber of what I’d normally read, and that was distracting).

Susie’s writing is a blend of Super Soul Sunday and Chicken Soup with a yummy sprinkle of humor.

It’s evident by her informal tone and quick sentence fragments that she doesn’t take herself too seriously, and her focus is solely on helping her reader.

Her 1-3 page chapters also help her messages be incredibly easy to grasp.

“Let It Be Easy” not only embodies the art of ease but also communicates it with quick, relatable anecdotes.

I run a Little Free Library, and I’m seriously debating whether or not I want to give this book away because I enjoyed it so much.

What do you think, should I keep it or donate it to LFL?

This book takes ideas to make your life better and transposes them into bite-sized actions which I found immeasurably helpful as I’ve always struggled with the ‘doing’ side of self-improvement. The format is easily digestible and though I initially read it cover-to-cover I like that I can also just flip open a page and get a quick hit of wisdom and inspiration. Thank you, Susie, for making big growth possible with simple practices that are easy to incorporate and build into habits. Wholly recommend this book for anyone who has struggled to make changes in their life and just wants to get moving on doing so in a way that works wonders!

Easy reading but kind of feels superficial. I had great hopes for this book after listening to the author speak on a podcast. I thought it was going to be more in line with “Effortless”, but written as if a girlfriend was giving you advice. There are over 100 chapters, but they are very brief. It’s like one of those books where you read one page a day as a devotional. I don’t feel like she delved into “let it be easy” deeply. Instead, it was a bunch of one page advice mixed in with her personal life. If you’re looking for light self help advice, this book is for you.

143 نصيحة تقدمهم سوزى موور فى بساطة كاسم كتابها قوة البساطة.. ترجمة سلسة و رشيقة تقدمها صديقتي رشا ماجد فى أول أعمالها..
الكتاب جميل، جرعة مكثفة من الأمل و الحث على المضى قدما مع تيار الحياة الهادر بالحياة فى قوة و بساطة. جميع فصول الكتاب أعجبتني لكن أكثرها تأثيرها فى كان " تحدث عما فى صدرك" حيث قالت المؤلفة على لسان جبران أن الحب لا يعنى النظر فى عيون أحدنا الآخر بل هو أن ننظر معا فى نفس الاتجاه و حددت المجالات التى يجب أن يخطط لها الحبييبين معا قبل الارتباط. كذلك فصل "النجاح له آثار" و مجموعة الأسئلة التى طرحتها من صفحة أوبرا وينفرى لزيادة الإلهام.
أعطيت 4 نجمات للكتاب و أنصح بقراؤته.

I was introduced to this book through Francesca Amber’s podcast. I listened to the audiobook. There were really great nuggets to take away from the book. The author narrates the book. Her “easy” attitude about life exudes in her narration. I don’t remember everything I listened to from the book, but what I do remember is the feeling I got from listening to her narration, which is that of being at ease and letting things go of the right grasp. This will be one of those books I re-read/re-listen in the future.

This was a little book with a big punch. While I read it cover to cover, you don’t have to. No matter what page you turn to, you’re sure to find wit and wisdom on the page that you can immediately apply to your own life. From simple language shifts to new ways of thinking, Susie reminds us that we truly can let it be easy, a mantra that I’ve started repeating to myself often. And honestly? It really works. Everyone will find a message just right for them inside these pages. Go get it.

قوة البساطة 💪
الكتاب بيتعرف من عنوانه، لدرجة من كتر بساطة خلصته 🤷‍♀️، أنا منبهره منى جدا، وممتنة للمترجمة الأستاذة رشا مور 😉. بالنسبة ليا الأسلوب ممتع، سلس ومفيد، الكتاب مريح جدا ومبهج من وجهة نظرى.
إما بالنسبة لغلاف الكتاب ولونه أللى مش باين منه العنوان لبعض الناس بس بالنسبة ليا كان واضح👌
إمبارح وأنا سايقة لاقيت مقولة "لون العربية دليل على النية"
فهنعتبر هنا لون الكتاب دليل على نية صاحبة الاسلوب الممتع أللى امتعتنى وافادتنى.
شكرا وبس 😊

Every chapter delivered a nugget of wisdom that resonated.

I love the short chapters, made it easy to pick it up when I had 15 free minutes, complete one chapter and walk away with a powerful reflection, thought or action plan. I will own this book forever and return to it frequently.

One of the best motivational self help books that I’ve ever read. Very light hearted and down to earth. Everything made such simple sense when you looked at your situations in life as Susie teaches. Just like the name of the book, it was an easy and entertaining book to read that can be very liberating.

There really is just not much to this work! It's pretty much just generic ideas that have been tossed around for decades in some cases all compiled into a long list of short chapters. Very very little research and no real meat. Easily in the best part of this book is the title, which is definitely an important phrase to remember.

Oh my gosh what a wonderful book! I could have highlighted the entire thing. Sometimes we need those little reminders don’t we? From showing up better for yourself, to friendships, to relationships and your sex live, to your career and beyond.. it just has everything. I started implementing the things I read straight after I finished the chapter in my conversations and welcoming the ease

Nie jest to wybitna książka, ale definitywnie niesie ze sobą prawdę. Taką, która wielu ludziom nie jest znana. Z treści mało wyniosłam, aczkolwiek bardzo zżyłam się z samą autorką. Trochę poczułam, jakby była moim osobistym coachem/terapeutą.
Pół na pół. Ale warta polecenia osobom, które dążą do radykalnych zmian i wprowadzenia bardziej świadomego życia🌞.

I really enjoy Susie Moore’s daily podcast. It’s generally less than 5 or 6 min and is just a positive nugget to think about, to consider, or remember. She is always positive and focused on the good / opportunity to learn and grow. Her book was a compilation of many of these gems put together. It was great!

I listened to this book as an audiobook. Susie's delightful British accent combined well with her stories of inspiration and wisdom to show up and live now. LET IT BE EASY does not offer a quick-fix remedy or a list of how-to’s for finding sudden ease in this fleeting life. Instead, this book is a captivating compilation of stories and experiences from a Business and Life Coach who knows the real-life struggles we all face. Life doesn’t have to be perfect for you to find ease.

Susie distills decades of self help study into light hearted, bite sized chapters. Easy to read, easy to apply. The message let it be easy is the antidote to hustle culture. Susie is favorite self help coach!
