I love The Power of Now. I once recommended it to a friend and he read it and told me it was the dumbest lamest scam piece of trash he ever read. LOL he completely didn't get it.

I had a similar experience since I thought it was the best thing ever at the time and the friend didn't seem to appreciate the recommendation :-D . Nowadays it seems like this stuff is common knowledge. Kids these days are so lucky. They are all going to be enlightened coming out of kindergarten.

You definitely have to find it at the right time

I'd say for 90% of my life I would have had the same experience with it

Bitcoin tends to change you a little

au contraire...

he was the smart one. honest as well apparently.

truthfully its, at best, an AIDS-laced vaginal secretion for a sandpapery-anus-obsessed society... offering poxxed/pozzed death staged as relief.

you get what you deserve.

1. What

Read this and listen to the audiobook in pieces all the time.

that book probably saved the life of a good friend of mine when they were going through some serious shit. would recommend.

Do I know you? Because that might have been me. I've grown away from his philsophy but, back then, there was moment in my life where I suddenly, said to myself "well I can always end it so why not see if it gets better". It did get better. It wasn't an instant cure, but it was a massive moment of awakening I am sure this book contributed to making available to me.

yeah funny you say that bc I think the book would seem pretty worthless to someone who isn’t in an overwhelming situation

One of the realities of crushing depression is a complete inability to be present in the moment. Man does that suck!

I think about it a lot. like when a paramedic arrives on the scene and they immediately try to calm the victim down just by saying “breathe”.

It's so simple that it seems impossible.

Man's Search for Meaning fell into my possession at the perfect moment.

The Tao of Physics was a delight. A foray into a subject that had been unfathomable, expanded my narrow little cranium, engaged my curiosity, and lifted me out of a fatalistic depression.
