    The Power of Now Summary & Review

    The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle Great book – quite intense; I wouldn’t recommend it for your first spiritual psychological type book.  A better book to start thing with would be Dale Carnegie’s Stop Worrying and Start Living book, for example. “YOU ARE NOT YOUR MIND” – is the general jist of the book.…
