I have read The Power of Now many times. I usually pick it up and just start reading from it every now and then. It is a great book.

I agree, like a number of other self help books based on Buddhist precepts, it's an excellent read, and I would highly recommend it. I would also recommend The Four Agreements by Miguel Ruiz.

I like your signature quote. Of course another perspective is that there is no first or second or third anything... just 'there is'.

There are some things in there that can be hard to grasp if you have never been exposed to them. What are you finding complicated?

I got a lot out of The Power of Now, but I've found his next book (A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life' Potential) even easier to integrate into my life.

I have been wanting to read A New Earth but have not gotten to yet.

I did like the book very much, however I found it very difficult to do the " watch the thinker " exercise. I do like a lot of the concepts however, but I feel that our " thoughts and thinking " are not neccessarly a bad thing.

peace..
