So I finally got around to reading The Power of Now.

I had studiously avoided the text since it\u2019s publication in 1999. I think because a part of me had made certain assumptions about this book.

Let\u2019s call that part of my mind The Intellectual Snob. The Intellectual Snob had assumed that Eck\u2019s bestseller was nothing but minestrone soup. How could it be a \u201cspiritual classic\u201d in such a short time? Who cared if Oprah Herself was singing its praises \u2013 no, this phenomenon was nothing but excessively reheated minestrone soup. End of.

And that\u2019s not good soup by anyone\u2019s standards, that\u2019s soup made up of spiritual bits and bobs, cherry-picked from Eastern and Western traditions, strung together with a snappy, bumper-sticker slogan and delivered in my audiobook format through Mr T\u2019s faintly creepy vocalizations.

THE POWER OF NOW?

Yadda yadda, yawn.

(Forgive the tone of my Intellectual Snob, but that\u2019s how they sound.)
