Re Power of Now

I feel Power of Now doesn't help me answer "How do you balance being goal oriented with feeling satisfied with what you have?"

I spent like 30 minutes flipping through this book at a store and I felt disappointed. Tolle's style is to talk about the same thing over and over again and never actually get to the point.


A really awesome practical book I loved was David Allen's Getting Things Done [3]. He explains that you have to quit using your mind for remembering what to do, otherwise you get inundated with 'mental reminders' through the day.

Manwhore [1] spoke on how even your messy room can wreak havoc with your confidence and Erika@Awakening [2] similarly spoke about the end "vibe" / incongruence a woman will pick up when she talks to you if you are not true to yourself let alone to other people.

This does connect to Tolle's words that you cannot be present if you are not taking control of particular emotions tangled in you.

I think I am realizing that you can never _really_ get your hypothetical _shit_ together, so you should 'accept' your current state , plan your life goals and ENJOY THE JOURNEY.
