In her bowel-shaking first book,
Kimberly Clo has authored what may possibly be a first of its kind book in the self-help genre
Releasing The Past
A back-of-the-toilet book about how to really let sh*t go
Offering a fresh perspective on the most basic and unglorious of human functions.
This book of writings is the perfect thoughtful & funny gift for anyone who poops and has a reasonable tolerance for repeated use of the “S” word.
At the end of the day, everyone poops.
And if we don’t poop we feel like crap and then we die.
There is no way around this.
Not only do our bodies need to poo to let go of food waste that creates toxic harm, we also have to let go of the past
past events,
past hurts,
past mistakes,
past relationships,
past foot-in-mouth moments you’ve replayed in your head too many times.
These past events happened, we experienced them for what they were - good or bad (even the desirable experiences must be digested then released - in the same way that the cleanest eating vegan still gets gassy and has to release - no one gets out of this exchange.)
and we are to let it go after that.
The book is peppered throughout with a collection of Haikus - or HaiPoos, followed by some space at the end for you to write your own HaiPoos as you feel inspired.
3 reasons why this is the perfect time in history to read this book.
The world is changing at such an extremely fast rate, if we don’t get really good at letting the past go, we will foolishly bring past-shit into the unwritten future and without meaning to, create more of the same sh*t we already have. .
We have been so serious about inner change and transformation, it feels good to laugh a little bit and entertain a new perspective in a not so serious way.
There simply are not enough intentional “back-of-the-toilet books”. It’s a lost art form and one I am delighted to bring back.
