Power of Now: Elimination of thought
May. 18th, 2006 01:52 pmI have a lot of trouble with many of the premises on which this author works. He seems relatively oblivious to the hard physical facts of science, and makes gross generalizations, attributing all emotional and mental suffering to cognitive factors, and making bizarre statements about humanity's fall from grace.
Setting all that aside, though, or perhaps taking a big grain of salt, he does have some interesting points. And, I try to remember, this is just another paradigm. If I throw out 95% of it, there should hopefully still be SOME value with which to walk away.
Regardless, I present to you some of my thoughts (ha!) on the book. Currently, I am on page 43 of 229.

Phew. That was a lot. Philosophical thoughts welcome.
