I never received this book. Money was taken out of my account and the book never came. I contacted the vendor and never received a reply. Very disappointed!!! I always buy from amazon.com and couldn't believe that this situation could possibly happen.

Ignore everyone else and read it...
You learn something from every book you read... why not move past the critics and judge the book for yourself. Regardless of your religon or beliefs, the book will open your eyes to another aspect of life that you may not have considered.

The book is excellent. It really helped in trying to let go of my ego.
I would hope that everyone reads it
 has its moments, but overall just an ego festival August 13, 2008

Let me just say, to begin with, that I ADORE Eckhart's prior book "The Power of Now". I love the language, the message and the tone of that book so I was quite excited to read this, which had been recommended to me by several people prior to the Oprah hype. Thankfully, since I don't watch TV or the news I'm fairly insulated from that but I've heard how enormous this has become with her "followers" (and make no mistake about it folks, she has become a spiritual leader, which may or may not be a good thing).
Anyway, I was all set to love this book but I found it to be rather uninteresting, unnecessarily confrontational and dripping with Eckhart's ego. There is a vast difference between the peaceful sense of confidence that comes with spiritual awakening and ego. I energetically felt the latter popping out all the time. I spent a great deal of time pondering and meditating on whether that was my own ego reflected, and of course to some degree that's part of the picture. But even in moments of humility and balance I thought this was much ado about nothing.
The ideas presented here are nothing new, folks. And it's been said in prior books by authors with better perspective. For universal truths, no matter what your religious beliefs, I'd stick with something like a good Tao Te Ching translation, or something else not intended as a platform for the author's greatness, as I felt this was.
I'm disappointed to have read this and come away with such a bad taste in my mouth; I've loved watching older videos of Eckhart speaking where he seemed like a lovely little magickal being. The voice in this book seems entirely different. And just as I was wondering whether I was crazy and the only one who felt this way, I started getting calls from other friends who were reading this and wondering why they were feeling the same things about such a highly touted book.
I suppose if these ideas are new to you this will serve some positive purpose, and if people are finding it helpful in their lives I really do think that's great. But personally, I found it a tough read and fairly annoying.
To each his own and this is why there are so many paths to the truth. If you loved "The Power of Now", don't expect the same kind of warmth and gentleness, nor the same level of positive use in your daily life.
