I advise people to read two Kitaabs which explain the matter perfectly. Number one is Jami al Uloom wal Hikam by Imam Ibn Rajab Hanbali in the section on tawakkul and Kitaab al Zuhd by Imam Qurtubi. Both these kitaabs very succinctly explain the different stages of tawakkul and detachment from this world. It will also make clear that for different people there are different states of tawakkul. What may be advisable for one group of people is not always advisable to another group.

the above two books will provide a thorough understanding of the issue. Both have been translated into English.
