 2008-11-08 - The Power of Now, Is Taking Control of Your Emotions!
This book has helped me beyond my belief! We all have emotions, and we cannot help how we feel. Now, imagine if you were able to take control of those emotions, and emerge as a strong and capable leader? We all know that leaders must manage and control their emotions. What do we do if we cannot? How can we learn to manage something that appears so difficult to control?
Its easy! Read this book! The Power of Now explains the "pain body" that exists within our cells. Past hurts stack up over time, and if they are not addressed, they will be expressed. What a relief to learn how to control those emotions that just do not serve us!
Everyone needs to read, understand and apply the concepts in this book!

2008-11-06 - The first book thar really worked
How many times have you purchased a self help/growth book with high expectations? I would usually read the jacket and say, "that's me" or that those are the goals for myself I wish to achieve. I would eventually finish it, put it down and find nothing has changed. For myself, more times than I care to count. This is the first time I have found a book to actually work and show results.
The book is basically about being present. You wouldn't think that more than a few paragraphs would be needed to explain the benefits of being present and the consequences of not being present. However, every sentence in this book provides insight and clarity I wouldn't have thought possible to convey with words.
I find myself reading no more than a page or two at a time, reflecting on what was said, and then putting it into practice. If you read this book like a novel, I believe it would be difficult to fully grasp what the author is saying. My mind has become less busy, I am not as easily distracted, I worry less about the future and negative past events no longer effect me, or at least not as much.
This is the first time I have felt compelled to review a book because this is the first time I have had results. I hope you give it a chance.

Although this book may get a bit too far "out there" towards the end for some people, the essential tenets are so profoundly true and helpful, I'd say it is a must read for anyone. The power is all in the now.

This book has been around awhile and for good reason. It talks about living in the here and now to find contentment- a simple but effective strategy in today's world.

...the present moment is all you ever have. "There is never a time when your life is not this moment." This passage from the book, hit me like a ton of bricks. Why am I worrying about the past and the future? I'm just putting myself through a type of "hell" on earth. My problems are not occurring right now, they either already happened or I'm projecting a problem into the future, I can not change them now! Why bother worrying? Why not find peace and happiness in my own present moment.
This is an excellent book. I found it at the perfect time after reading a marriage self-help book that was based on self-differentiation. This book is helping me "hold onto my true self" not my mind made self, but the self that is underneath all emotional baggage.
I highly recommend this book!
