Default "The Power of Now"

I noticed that this book by Eckhart Tolle is on the best-seller list. So, anyone read it?

I'm currently reading it, after a women who goes to me mum's local gym gave it to me stating "I can sense your pain body. Maybe this will help." I was like okayyy?

So I just picked it up about a week ago, and definitely must say it's a powerful book. It resonates with me deeply. You certainly must have an open mind when reading it, and it really not reccomended for younger minds due to comprehension problems.

Anyways, that's my two cents.

I got the book he wrote after "The Power. . . " and it was both good and original. However, the parts which were original were not good, and the parts which were good were not original.

The original part, that bit about the pain-body, is gone into in excruciating detail--he lost me when he seemed to compare it to original sin (as in newborns having this "psychic parasite." My wife, less tactful that I, dismissed the concept as "bullshit." At best, I think it is a metaphor of limited usefulness.)
