The Power of Now

Doesn't look like it. It sounds like a self-help book to teach you to live in the moment.

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. Personally, I've never met anyone who'd mastered the art of living in any moment other than the current one.

She'd lay her eggs in the positive Now,
If only she were able to postulate how.
 
Umm guys it might be worse than you suspect. From Amazon.

imho, one does not get their "spiritual" head together out of one book.

Many claim the bible does that for them, but many of them are still messed up.

This is true. However, you are automatically equating the book to a purely religious text, and that is not the case. You are judging the book without any knowledge of what it contains whatsoever.

I started this thread to see if anyone else had read it, though it doesn't appear that anyone here has.
 
Beefy, I just do not believe that any one book can bring spiritual enlightenment.
there is a lot more to it than reading a book.

I know. The book doesn't say that when you read it, you are magically enlightened. You seem to be implying that somehow, it is a bad thing. There's actually tons of great psychological insights in the book as well as health, stress and anxiety insights. It is not a religious text, nor does it claim to be. Obviously you know nothing about it, but the word "spiritual" in the title gives you a negative reaction that you are hanging your hat on.

Kinda like Dianetics then ?

No, its nothing like Dianetics at all. Again, you are making assumptions about something you know absolutely nothing about.

Damo, yeah, I figured if anyone on this board had read it, it would have been you. I really think you'd enjoy it.
 
All I know is that my "spirituality" was not earned from reading any one book. but then I don't believe in a spirituallity that lives beyond death.

But reading one book can contribute.

Nobody earns spirituality from a book. It ultimately comes from within. I was simply stating that it is a very interesting and insightful book. The use of the word "Spiritual" in the title should not compell anyone to immediately dismiss the book as some sort of bad thing.
 
Sorry I gave that impression Beefy, I guess I over reacted. Books are great as long as you take them for what they are.
