Delight's review
A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose by Eckhart Tolle
I can't believe I suckered myself into buying and reading this book. Couldn't do much about the fact that I'd bought it, but I did get through it pretty quickly so my investment of time was minimal. And I'm not sure I would have gotten that far, but I was on the bus and that was the only reading material I had. I think Oprah is a remarkable woman, but her book picks are hit and miss--so much so that the fact that half of America is reading the book is not an endorsement. Here's the Delight Cliff Notes version:
1) Don't be attached to things. We all die eventually and are separated from them.
2) Dwelling on sad things from the past inhibit your happiness today.
3) Something about the "Pain-Body" that I didn't even try to understand.
Give this one the Big Skip.
