The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment 875 reviews
Eckhart Tolle
New World Library, 2004
GREAT
I loved this book...it seems to me that most of the people who do not like it are just set on not liking it before they even read it. Most of the people I know who bought this book have benefited greatly from it including myself...I don't know that is just my opinion....you either love it or hate it...

Are you ready for the truth?
When you learn about what you are shoveling into your mouth, it becomes easier to change what & how you eat. I love the authors blunt, no nonsense delivery. Toughen up and get ready to hear the truth!

Elizabeth Gilbert
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007
Delightful, insightful spiritual journey
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was sad, funny, very spiritual, searching, and deeply honest. One woman's couragous journey to find her authentic self. I have given the audio version of this book (on CDs) as gifts to my friends who had not read it. The verdict has been unanimous - excellent read!! By the way, we are all spiritually minded - perhaps that is why we loved it so much. This ...

Guy Finley
Red Wheel/Weiser, 2008
Real, Relevant, and Timely
This is one of those timeless books - it could be read today, or 100 years from now and the wisdom still rings true. There are several stories shared within the book, and Guy's discussion of those stories really helps bring out their truth more clearly.
I highly recommend this book for anybody on a spiritual journey who is reaching that pivotal point where it is time to make the decision ...

Life-changing book
I found this book to be life-changing. I so wish I had read it when I was in high school. What a different world this would be if we started teaching this to our youth! It has become my favorite gift to give to others. What a fast read, too.

Finding Your Own North Star: Claiming the Life You Were Meant to Live101 reviews
Martha Beck
Three Rivers Press, 2002
The only one you need...
Anything Martha Beck writes is fabulous but this classic, one of her earliest, is still my favorite. Beck is funny and smart and offers real wisdom on how to craft that ultimate life for yourself. There is much self-esteem building going on in Finding Your own North Star from dealing with emotions, saying "yes" and "no" and dealing with fear effectively. For a Beck sampling, pick up a copy of O: ...

Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity422 reviews
David Allen
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2002
Best of the best in time management
This book could also be titled "The quintaessence of time management".
Im usually very skeptical of self help books, but I trusted the person who recommended it to me. If you read it carefully, it explains to you the root cause of procrastination and how to fight it. Particularly the "two minute rule" changed the way I do things. Now I have my room clean most of the time.
The book is not ...

How to Read Literature Like a Professor: A Lively and Entertaining Guide to Reading Between the Lines53 reviews
Thomas C. Foster
Harper Paperbacks, 2003
great book for students
This is a lively, friendly, entertaining book that is great for students. It discusses how to read, to to really read literature. But as a practiced reader I found that it didn't teach me much, though it would be great for a freshman or sophmore.

J. K. Rowling
Arthur A. Levine Books, 2007
A stunning conclusion to a truly amazing series
I don't even know where to begin. These books have touched my life and I am so grateful JK Rowling took the chance and persevered in getting Book 1 published. Book 7 is a stunning conclusion to a truly amazing series, and definitely my favorite of all 7 books. I got the book at midnight and finished it 12 hours later. Then I went to sleep, got up and started re-reading it more slowly. I don't ...

Hay House, 1999
Entry level emotional healing and core spiritual beliefs.
This is a gorgeous book, and it makes a fantastic gift! It makes a great introduction to ease one into spiritual avenues and mind/body/spirit healing aspects without all of the new-age nonsense.
Anyone on the advanced spiritual level will find this book trivial except for the emotional healing affirmations in the rear of the book. Those are priceless to have around the home, and their ...

Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations
This book is truly revolutionary. I think it is not just for teens but is a message that society as a whole can use. We all have been raised to believe that we deserve things instead of learning the joy of working hard for something.
The current generation has it even harder because they have to self-administer hard things. Who ...
