As I read the book I could CLEARLY feel many preconceptions I had melting away and my awareness growing page after page. It is a spiritual book but a book about human psychology so. Everything I read ringed true and I was able to implement what I read instantly in day-to-day life. I could not only understand myself but so others better. While I have been slowly ridding myself of emotional baggage and preconceptions over the last couple of years, I feel thatthis book helped me progress much faster. I first read it two months ago, and since then I have noticed That much of the remaining fear and unease I was still feeling Gradually being displaced by at Increasing sense of lightness and ease. I can identify Arising Negativity more Quickly now and stop it before it progresses Which helps keep anger and sadness at bay. And not being a slave of your thoughts and emotions is truly freeing. Together with regular meditation and practice of awareness, this book is changing my life for the better! :)
I think that "The Power of Now" would be useful to anyone who wants to understand and improve Themselves. I wish it did were required reading in school and Hope that one day schools form a curriculum to educate children how to make the world a better place. I am now getting this book for family and friends ... I feel like They should know about the book and hope thatthey read it soon!
