it was ok

I simply could not stand this book. I had a hard time connecting to ,and sometimes, understanding anything in it. I truly could not figure out what all the hype about Tolle was...until I picked up his next book...A New Earth. At least, for me, he seemed to have hit his writing stride and was able to convey his ideas more simply and coherently, and I absolutely LOVED it. I truly believe in his idea that ego is the root of our problems and that the release of ego and willingness to see ourselves as more than our bodies and minds and as connected to all is our only salvation. So, I would say to anyone who struggled with this book and dismissed Tolle...don't do so until you read A New Earth. I have read it several times, and it always lifts my spirit and renews my commitment to do better.
