Format:Paperback
A friend introduced me to this little gem as a teenager nearly twenty years ago, and I've returned to it often over the years in times of stress. The piercing clarity and brutal honesty of these simple, yet profound, observations slows my racing thoughts and magically puts things into perspective. So find a quiet place, set aside an hour or two, and let Hugh Prather show you how to live in the moment and rid yourself of that insatiable craving for external validation. You won't regret it.

Format:Paperback
I received this book from a friend in 1990. The copyright in the book is 1970, and the cost was a mere $2. I read this book at a time in my life when things were as bad as I thought they could get. I underlined passages, wrote notes on pages, and each time I read it, I feel like I'm getting in touch with myself again.
It's an extremely good feeling when you can read your own thoughts and views on the world from someone else.. from someone you don't know. Everyone should read this book, and then pass it on to friends, or children.

This book brings clarity to our thoughts, and bridges the gap between the grey world of uncertainty we live in and the black and white world we would want to live in ... or at least some of us. It's nice to stumble across such illuminating guides along this path of life that don't necessarily provide answers, but light the way to an inner discovery, that unto itself, illuminates all answers. I am constantly awed by the immeasurability of his clarity.
If you're a searcher, this is a book you'd probably like to read.
