Since I had read Tolle 10 or 15 years ago, I thought I would try this volume with all its hype. It is a major disappointment and virtually unreadable. When I read Tolle before I considered his writings with those of Martin Buber. This book is a big nothing and I simply cannot understand its credibility as a "spiritual" book, unless there are a lot of over age 50 women who have never read a meaningful philosophical or spiritual work before in their lives.And, yes, I am over 50, but at least I have read Kant, Buber, the Koran, the Bible, etc. I guess this book is pop thought for this year.
