Hold Nothing by Elena Brower


Endorsed by Elizabeth Gilbert, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Yung Pueblo

A distinctive, artful, contemplative guide for self-discovery and self-inquiry, with wisdom, encouragement, and thought exercises by the best-selling author of Practice You. Includes 45 practices and full-color pieces of artwork by the author.


What if the most important work of your life isn't something you chase-but something you uncover, slowly, in stillness? What if your presence is the greatest offering you can make to the world? This book is an invitation to come home to yourself-gently, honestly, and with great love.

As an evolution of, and a departure from, her best-selling journals, Practice You and Being You, Brower draws on her memories and life experiences, her practice of yoga and Nonviolent Communication, and more recently, her study of Zen, to offer us a road map for living with presence and reverence.

Each chapter offers teachings, contemplations, and prompts on a single theme, such as-

  • establishing presence in your daily life
  • bearing witness to small moments of reverence
  • embracing the art of not knowing
  • invoking the wisdom of emptiness and stillness
  • and more

She also includes 45 pieces of her full-color artwork to inspire deeper insight and creativity as readers explore each theme. This is not a manual for self-improvement; it is a field guide for self-remembrance, for cultivating tenderness toward your own heart, and for showing up to life completely, with purpose and heartfulness.
