 More like 3.5 stars January 28, 2010
Rachel McElhany (http://chaosisafriendofmine.typepad.com)
I wish you could give 1/2 stars - this book is really a three and a half star rating for me.
Although Tolle says he's not affiliated with any religion, this book is really "Buddhism lite". The concepts in this book weren't new to me but I thought that Tolle had an engaging style of explaining them that kept me interested. It was repetitive at times but I think someone who was learning about enlightenment and the principles of consciousness for the first time might need that repetition to reinforce them. Most of the book was theoretical - I would have like more concrete examples of how to implement the concepts in my own life. I did not do Oprah's online classes, perhaps those would have some.
Deep but powerful January 26, 2010

I read this book at a perfect time in my life when I was open to the message. Honestly, it is hard to get into in the first four or five chapters. Suddenly though, if you keep at it, the ideas start clicking and making complete sense.
This is a great book for people seeking to change the way they view life, becoming more connected, and finding true happiness.
 Awaken out of constant automatic thinking January 17, 2010

Many people are not at peace because they have negative thoughts running through their minds constantly and automatically. These thoughts trigger negative emotions. This book is about awakening out of that constant thought stream. This can be done by accepting rather than resisting the present moment. The result is a sense of peace because the negative emotions then no longer get triggered.

Like a lot of people, I was exposed to this book via Oprah. Not directly, but due to the fact that so many people started talking about it after she had the author on her show.
I am really glad to have read the book. It has an interesting take on a number of things, "sin" being the first which really caught my attention. Much different from the Southern Baptist culture that I was raised in. Same for his view of what "Heaven" is.
You may not agree with everything he says, but I this is a book which will certainly make you think. For me, it made me realize that I wasn't alone and not as crazy as my Southern Baptist relatives think. :) That alone was worth the price.
Overall, good thoughts about being "one with life" that I think will be beneficial to all people, regardless of religious affiliation.
