9. “The Power of Now” Eckhart Tolle Peace of mind arrives with becoming a calm observer of your own consciousness in the moment, instead of a frantically shifting between past and future. ----------------Top Ten Must-Reads Summarized in One Sentence By Brad ----------------Psychology, philosophy, and self-help I really like Top Ten Must-Reads Summarized in One Sentence ((LINK BELOW)) by Brad (That's how he's credited, just Brad). It and its companion articles, Ten More Must-Reads Summarized In One Sentence and Ten Philosophers Summarized Into One Sentence (BOTH ARE LINKED AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LINK I GAVE YOU)), have already saved me many hours of tedious reading. It has also given me the opportunity to point out the never-ending torrent of raw sewage that comes from a lot of self-help psychology books. The prime example is the one-sentence boil down of The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. My question is: How are you supposed to be a calm observer of your own consciousness in the moment, if, for example, you're presently having a kidney stone? There are countless other examples but I went for one of the most painful ones. There is no way you could be a calm observer of your own consciousness in that moment. And it's not going to bring Peace Of Mind. There might be a rare exception to that rule but for most people, it holds. The whole point is that the vast majority of these Pop-Psychology books take a little bit of common sense and mix it up with a lot of malarky and the problem is that it appeals to people. Even though it's ultimately worthless. But they don't realize it until the fraudster has their money. ************** Top Ten Must-Reads Summarized in One Sentence Psychology, philosophy, and self-help Brad Sep 9 ·3 min read
