Eckhart Tolle

Another spiritual inspiration.
This is a wonderful companion piece to "The Power of Now". Meditation is a great stress reliever. And not worrying about where you came from or where you are going is the key to enjoying the present moment. great book.

Harvest Books, 2005
Wonderful story
I read ths book along with about 4 co-workers; we had formed a small reading group. This was my pick for the month. We all thought it was a terrific book and had a lot to discuss about it at the end. I'm looking forward to another book by this author.

Give Me Liberty: A Handbook for American Revolutionaries17 reviews
Naomi Wolf
Simon & Schuster, 2008
Must have for any one who wants to get invovled beyond "just voting"
I'm gonna go out on a line and say that this book isn't quite as journalistic as the last one, though it is very thought provoking and informative.
What this book is more like is a call to action followed by some really useful information on how to take action.
It's a call to get involved with your nation's politics beyond just voting, and their are sections of the book which really show ...

The Secret 2273 reviews
Rhonda Byrne
Atria Books/Beyond Words, 2006
Authentic Self
Great reading material filled with wisdom and inspiration. I couldn't have read a more appropriate book for this time in my life. I would encourage anyone who is in the process of redefining their life's journey to read The Secret. Through my personal efforts and the written words from The Secret I am living my authentic self.

The Anxiety & Phobia Workbook, Fourth Edition111 reviews
Edmund J. Bourne
New Harbinger Publications, 2005
Worked better than local Doctors
This book was a life saver!!! We had brought our son to several Doctors, tried some medications and were getting no where. What finally helped us and our son was the social worker at my sons' school, and this book. If you follow what this book tells you to do to get through full blown panic attacks and anxiety, it will work. I had bought several books before this one, that were absolutely ...

Money, and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Wealth, Health, and Happiness156 reviews
Esther Hicks, Jerry Hicks
Hay House, 2008
It Really Works
We began reading this book almost immediately upon receiving it - and immediately began putting into practice some of the techniques described in the book. IT REALLY DOES WORK.
Just by changing our usual negative thought patterns we have already experienced an improvement in our quality of life. I now have no doubt in my mind that I can have everything that I want.
It has been an ...

Loving Frank: A Novel 191 reviews
Nancy Horan
Ballantine Books, 2008
An Amazing Book
I read this book based on a recommendation from a friend. Even though I am not usually a fan of historical fiction, I was interested, as I have been to Falling Water and knew a few things- or so I thought- about Frank Lloyd Wright.
I was truly captivated by this book. Loving Frank tells of the clandestine love affair between the Frank Lloyd Wright and Mamah Borthwick Cheney. This book was so ...

The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment961 reviews
Eckhart Tolle
New World Library, 2004
The first book thar really worked
How many times have you purchased a self help/growth book with high expectations? I would usually read the jacket and say, "that's me" or that those are the goals for myself I wish to achieve. I would eventually finish it, put it down and find nothing has changed. For myself, more times than I care to count. This is the first time I have found a book to actually work and show results.

A New Earth (Oprah's Book Club)1314 reviews
Dutton, 2007
Great Information
I loved this book. The information itself I have been hearing and experiencing for many years as I personally open and grow. It's about waking up people! Becoming conscious and remebering who you are. Thank you Eckhart Tolle for bringing this out in such a big way as we are all in a time of big change.

ET does it again
I love having this book on the coffee table for a quick hit of stillness. It is especially helpful when my mind starts realing and I need to calm down. Anything that Ekhart Tolle has to say has such power to soothe and bring a person back down to earth!

Angel Therapy Oracle Cards: A 44-Card Deck and Guidebook 3 reviews
Doreen Virtue
Hay House, 2008
Amazing experience
I just ordered this deck not seeing many pictures of the cards. I opened the pack, looked through the deck and did a little meditational one-card reading for guidance for the day. I realized my thoughts were on the topic of lightworkers and that I felt I had the characteristics of one but wished I had confirmation that yep, that's me.
I got back to focusing on picking a card from the deck ...

The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason836 reviews
Sam Harris
W. W. Norton, 2005
It actually worked!
I had been a Christian for 20 years - the evangelical sort. When I ceased to believe that the bible was the word of God, I did not give up on the existence of God altogether. I checked out liberal Christianity, and still hoped to be some sort of theist. I read an awful lot, and most books do not change my mind on a subject single handedly. But Sam's book did, because it is thorough, and ...

The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy192 reviews
John J. Mearsheimer, Stephen M. Walt
Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2008
All the stars in the sky wouldn't be enough to rate this book
Simply put, this is the most important political book of our day. Mearsheimer and Walt bravely take on one of the last remaining taboos in our society today. Exhaustively researched, this book is a treasure trove of information.
Mearsheimer and Walt clearly lay out that Israel has not only not been a strategic asset as claimed, but has been an enormous strategic liability. Drawing on ...

Bacardi and the Long Fight for Cuba: The Biography of a Cause6 reviews
Tom Gjelten
Viking Adult, 2008
Exceptional Book
I am Cuban-born, and have throughly enjoyed this book and am buying copies to send to all my children, one of which is NPR's Baghdad Bureau Chief. It is historically accurate, very well written, and portrays Cuba and the Bacardi family with knowledge and understanding. It is truly a brilliant achievement and recommend anyone who is interested in Cuba to read it.

Reclaiming Conservatism: How a Great American Political Movement Got Lost--And How It Can Find Its Way Back16 reviews
Mickey Edwards
Oxford University Press, USA, 2008
Agree
I totally agree and cannot add more to the reviews already here. The Republican Party up until about 1990 was a party of optimism ("It's Morning in America"), belief in individual freedom, anti-communism, and belief in a strong national defense, and "getting government off our backs".
Today: a party fixated on tradition and "traditional family values", moralizing, forcing one's personal ...

The Divine Matrix: Bridging Time, Space, Miracles, and Belief113 reviews
Gregg Braden
Hay House, 2008
Quantum made easy
I cannot believe I haven't heard about this book before, and cannot put it down. Easy reading, not too technical, very good examples of various experiments, and drawing from 'ancient' knowledge as well as finding very pertinent references to the "Field" from people from various walks of life over the last century - how come they 'knew' about this and so many of us are disconnected?
Wonderful ...
