Editorial Review: Synopsis: Eckhart Tolle's first full length book in eight years will be a cornerstone for personal spirituality and self-improvement for years to come. Taking off from the introspective work that he began with "The Power of Now", Tolle provides the spiritual framework for people to move beyond themselves in order to make this world a better, more spiritually evolved place to live. Shattering modern ideas of ego and entitlement, self and society, Tolle lifts the veil of fear that has hung over humanity during this new millennium, and shines an illuminating light that leads to happiness and health that every reader can follow.

 Rating:  - A big ego writes about egoI was given this by someone who saw Oprah raving about it and bought two copies in a state of excitement. I thought that the first three pages were quite good then was extremely disappointed as the rest went no further than to rehash Buddhism. My overriding concern is Tolle's continual denigration of the ego and his attempts to persuade us that if we could just annihilate any sense of being an individual or having individual thoughts or preferences we could all acheive permanent bliss. In fact, if we all followed this advice we would all coagulate in one big splurge of mush as no one would be allowed a personality at all. This kind of spirituality feels very uncomfortable. I have always believed that the ego is a misunderstood beast ...

Books like this one always manage to grab our attention and hold it, as we humans are always looking for answers in our lives and the reasons for our very existence. How To Keep Your Man: And Keep Him For Good Real Life Dramas - Volume One: 1 Darren G. Burton Rating:  - very insightfulI read this book and listened to the oprah show chapter by chapter at the same time (free to download on itunes). It was very useful, very insightful and rich. No matter how many times I will go back to this book, there will always be something new to discover. recommemded. Rating: - A spiritual guide to a better lifeIf you were to say that this book inspires a completely new way of thinking, you would be wrong. That's because new-age guru Eckhart Tolle bases his teachings on the existing concept of moving beyond thinking. He explains that you can only connect to the energy that flows through the universe only when you hush the incessant voice in your head. This book made a huge media splash early in 2008 when Oprah Winfrey selected it for her bestseller-making book club and encouraged worldwide discussion of it via live Web seminars. Readers eagerly shared their "aha moments" online, citing points in the book that ignited their "shifts in consciousness." And yet anyone who is at all familiar with Eastern philosophies will not find Tolle's messages quite ... Read More: Rating:  - Good but repetitive and over-generalisingOn the positive side this book is easy to read, well-researched and highly thought-provoking. Much of it makes sense and is backed up by occasional referenced to the Bible, Zen and respected literary figures. And it all hangs together quite neatly and fits snugly into the Zeitgeist. However, the book could have been written in 80 pages instead of 300 plus. Also, some of the arguments are a little simplistic and generalised - and ideas and terms are welded together rather too keenly in a vain attempt to solve the ultimate mystery of man, existence and the universe. Are we to believe that the unconscious operates as the ego at ALL times? Is the 'Now' the ONLY true and most spiritual way of existing? Is it ALWAYS the most practical and useful? Does ...
