The Secret!

Rhonda Byrne's 'The Secret' is one of the 'Off-the-shelf' inspirational books i have read in recent times... her philosophy of people manifesting thought is nothing new but psycologist's Carl S Jung redescribed with lots of salt and pepper.... books like these does nothing but cause some very real world problems by immersing people in a dream world, where material possessions can be gained by simply visualising them. it adds, if bad things happen, then you are to blame... and its all our fault... else it is the 'power-behind' and ur thoughts... how can that be...? you are over-rating God with this....Rhonda Byrne..!!!! certainly a thumbs down..>!!!!!!!

Notes to Myself by Hugh Prather

well...its one of the best in my library... well.. i wouldnt call it a novel or any book... its basically... the author's diary notes.... his scribblings.. as the caption or the book says... its truy his 'struggle to become a person'..and as we read it, quite amazingly, we find it that it was our struggle too.... Sample this..... ....The more i attempted to "be me.." the more "me's" i found there were.... ...the whole book is a collection of such one, two three or four liners....scribbled in his solitude... and is a worth while book to own...and read it when one is alone...
