Review title: Buddha on a Low Fat Diet
Product review: Two problems with this book:First, you have to have an inclination towards this type of Zen non-thinking - for most Westerners this is a radical shift from our goal oriented, materialistic orientation.The second problem with this book is that even if you are so inclined, other authors have articulated the "no mind" subject matter in ways that are far superior to this Zen for Dummies approach.Essentially, Tolle spits out one tiny pearl of Hippy-Dippy wisdom and then yammers on and on, ad nauseum for the next 200 pages. Christ! It was like listening to my mother-in-law tell the same story, a hundred different ways. zzzzzzzz. Personally, I found this a tedious read.I'd recommend the works of D.T. Suzuki, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh, Carlos Casteneda or Charles Tart for the serious aspirant. In my opinion, The Power of Now can wait a little longer.
