This book goes where few books go in terms of both depth of thought and spiritual insight.Aiuthor Eckart Tolle provides thoughtful perspective on the ultimate questions about life. The book describes how to connect with your true conscious, or essentially God, by rising above the stream of thoughts that occupy our minds.I read the book very slowly. Usually I just read one section, 1-2 pages a day, so I could reflect on what was said.On the negative side, I felt that the book spent too much time covering the ego, and its negative aspects. I felt it got a little repetitive.However, there are so many brilliant nuggets in the book, that it's easy to overlook this minor flaw.As I flip through the book and revisit some of the parts I underlined, some of the best quotes include:-heaven is not a location but refers to the inner realm of consciousness-everything is not only connected with everything else, but also with the Source of all life out of which it came-medical treatment is the third-leading cause of death-not what you do but how you do what you do determines whether you are fulfilling your destiny-make sure your vision or goal is not an inflated image of yourself and therefore a concealed form of ego, such as wanting to be a movie star, a famous writer, or a wealthy entrepreneur. Instead see your self inspiring countless people with your work and enriching their lives. (Yikes! As a writer that one hit home with me.)Living in the present is a key component of Tolle's philosophy. As Indian spiritual teacher J. Krishnamurti said "This is my secret, I don't mind what happens." He was in alignment with the present moment no matter what it was.Overall, if you are looking for answers to the big questions in life, or just some really good food for thought, this book is well worth reading.Other recommended reading:Create Your Own Reality - The Ancient Wisdom
