No S Diet shows up in Oprah's Book Club!

Post by maslowjenkins » Thu May 29, 2008 12:52 pm

Ok, so the title is sensational and a totally misleading, but read on...

I am currently reading A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle, which is an Oprah book club selection.

As I'm reading, I read this passage (p. 165):
"In other words, and this may sound strange, if you don't mind being unhappy, what happens to the unhappiness? Dont you want to find out?"

But [/i]I read

If you don't mind being hungry, what happens to the hunger?

His point being that when we acknowledge our feelings, they do not have the power over us that they do when we are busy fighting them.

there you go.

Hey, the more times my name is mentioned in conjunction with Eckhardt Tolle (and Oprah), the better.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention -- now if only someone would bring it to Hers. :-)
