In the news today:
"About 3.5 million copies of Eckhart Tolle's spiritual self-help guide have been shipped since Winfrey, host of "The Oprah Winfrey Show," announced her selection four weeks ago.

The book has topped the best-seller list on Amazon.com virtually from the moment Winfrey's choice was revealed, and it is the fastest-selling pick ever at Barnes & Noble Inc., according to a statement issued Thursday by Winfrey.

It's also a record shipment in a four-week span for any book by Penguin Group (USA), which has published such million sellers as Elizabeth Gilbert's "Eat, Pray, Love" and Ken Follett's Winfrey-endorsed "The Pillars of the Earth."

So, how is everyone enjoying the podcasts? I've been amazed at how transformational the book has been for me. For some reason, even though Tolle writes about the same things as he did in The Power of Now and which others such as Gangaji and Sri Nisargadatta have written about, this book somehow made easier to really understand and apply the information.

But then again, maybe I was just more "ready" to *get* it.

I do wish he was speaking more during the podcasts though - while Oprah is great to provide this opportunity to learn the lessons free, it sometimes seems that she is teaching the class, lol. Even so, I've been getting SO much out of the classes.
