The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment

Fantastic, fantastic book! Specially if read before or after a daily meditation practice. Some parts are incredibly convoluted and even repetitive, so you may end up slacking off of reading at your normal pace in one sitting. There's still so many ideas I need to wrap my head around, but i can already feel a slight shift in my worldview in the positive direction. The main teachings, according to my reading can be boiled down to:
1. The Ego is the single biggest flaw in humans.
2. Time and pain are inherently connected, so as long as time is passing, we will suffer. We should learn to accept it and surrender to this reality.
3. You are not your Body. And You are not your Mind.
Will revisit this book for sure in the future :)
