This book is a watered down version of his first book. It highlights all of the main points of Eckhart Tolle's teaching into one handy little book Which you can dip into at any point and recieve inspiration for the day ahead. Really this book covers all of Great teachings to date without all of the side talk Which Mainly leaves you more confused. Another clear book on this subject is The One: Finding Reality & The Awakening of Spiritual Awareness - The Two Of These books go well together for bringing the whole philosophy back to basics.
