IF YOU CAN'T LET IT GO, WORK IT THROUGH.
Mark Pelter left life as a Buddhist monk after 12 years, realizing he couldn’t let go of his reactive cycles of anger and fear. While continuing his own inner work, he began teaching and counseling others, and discovered the ancient Buddhist mind training practice known as lojong.
Combining the 59 slogans of lojong with meditation and journaling prompts, Pelter built a daily practice that helped his students move beyond the common platitude to “just let it go” and truly begin to work through their emotional obstacles. This guide to profound lovingkindness, both for ourselves and others, became If You Can’t Let It Go, Work It Through.
If You Can’t Let It Go, Work It Through isn’t just a Buddhist primer or another daily meditation journal, but a gentle investigation into our deeply conditioned patterns and how we might be liberated from them. In our volatile and uncertain world, Pelter offers readers a way to live with more spaciousness, generosity, and compassion.

About Mark
Mark Pelter spent 12 years as a Buddhist monk.
During those years, he immersed himself in meditation and spiritual practice. Yet over time, he recognized that years of practice had not automatically removed every cycle of anger, fear, or emotional reactivity.
That realization became part of a deeper inquiry.
Rather than simply trying to “let go” of difficult experiences, Mark began exploring how Buddhist mind training could be used to examine and work through them.
If You Can’t Let It Go, Work It Through grew from that journey.
The book brings together traditional teachings, meditation, reflective practice, and Mark’s own experience in a way designed to be accessible and useful in everyday life.
