LOL! Yes!

I am looking forward to rereading The Power of Now over the next couple of weeks. It will be food for my soul at this time :)

This one sounds good too. In fact, any of his books. Have you read any you especially recommend, Mr Harry?

Those are the only two I've read, Sue, as I've only just discovered him myself:)

Stillness Speaks is a little gem of a book - only 43 pages - but packed with nuggets of timeless wisdom. Some of them are only a couple of lines, but they can sum up reality at a glance. It's a modern version of Hafiz, Rumi or Gibran, and has a warmth and love for humanity in every line. Recommended:)

His latest is A New Earth, and you can hear Oprah and Eckhart talk about it for about 15 hours on oprah.com if you want:)

All his books boil down to the same message, really, but with different emphases.

That message is Be. Here. Now. It's what the world needs Now:)
