October 16, 2003: Josh Baran has created a remarkable book - it's a roadmap to the present moment, a tool for getting and staying there, and a compendium of the wisdom of the now from virtually every corner of the globe and from every type of person. Where else would you find zen patriarchs rubbing elbows with country western singers? It all blends beautifully into not just instruction but also evocation. In other words, this book IS what it points us toward. It's a practical, accessible work of art. Take it to heart, savor it slowly, and it will change your life.

October 04, 2003: This book is filled with beautiful and profound passages from all kinds of sources -- all focused on finding and realizing truth/peace/heaven right here and right now. This book is the true successor to The Power of Now - good for both people new to spiritual thinking and seasoned meditators and seekers. Great passages from the Buddha, Jesus, Rumi, Henry Miller, Tibetan sages, Zen masters, and modern poets and even songs and dialogues. Its the kind of book you can pick up and open anywhere and just read a page or two - and it stops you and you remember in that moment the beauty and peace in being just right here. Highly recommended
